I'm not vegan, don't care either way. The meat you might normally buy is horrible at best. I have been really surprised at what the "new" vegan offerings seem to contain. I have not really put much time into research on it.
Sister and her husband are vegan, and try to only eat "organic" and such. They follow some "Dr. Guru" sort of diet. But I find this might make for some good investment opportunities.
As for" selling up and leaving". Its a good time to sell. I also find real estate seems to be more inflation proof than most other investments. It's also highly demographic driven, so fairly predictable over a long term. It can be very hard to get back in if your timing is wrong.

I watch IBM, when it drops 20-30 pts. I buy it and hold for it to gain those pts. back, usually doesn't take long and in the meantime it pays 4.5% dividend.

3-4 days ago I sold off some positions to raise some cash planning for a downturn... the market has done nothing but go up lol.

Amazing

The only time people complain about the market going up, is when they are not in it.

Hard to time the Market like the old days. I would buy a fiber optic stock at 80 and sell at 120. I did that 4-5 times in a row. those were good days.

Crypto should be used as a hedge, similar to gold... I would buy some, but it would be a very small portion of my portfolio.

Most people want to collect assets, that have a strong change of growing overtime and generating income.

I agree with you, but I really don't think it's that difficult. Just buying the index and a few KEY ETFs alone would be sufficient for most. The problem is people don't always want historically safe or boring growth. Some don't want to use time as a tool and invest for the long term. Watching grass grow isn't always fun, but at least it grows.

The problem comes when people want to try and beat the market. Big gains, fast money, trading and trying to time the market... often times comes with much higher risk.

Personally I am just a big fan of building a good foundation first then throw a little money into individual companies that you think had good growth potential. I have no interest in going YOLO all-in on AMC and GME.

I have no interest in going YOLO all-in on AMC and GME. All my money I reinvest into my own business which I started 2 months ago after I had come across this platform for digitizing business.
Great words about watching grass growing one disadvantage about investing in stock market in my opinion is that you have a middleman, your broker. It would be awesome if I had the possibility to do all the purchases and sales of the stocks myself.

You do... These days there are plenty of platforms to do self-directed trading without a broker.

I can trade as little or as much as I want myself without paying any commissions or fees.

BTW, one of the best platforms to do this as a "beginner" investor is likely M1. They don't have any fees like Acorns, and allow you to create your own Portfolio types with various goals, provide exact allocation as far as what % of your money goes where, and then within each portfolio, you're able to add specific stocks that you like or don't like.

I know that dudes on reddit (not wallstreetbets lol) have listed a few of their portfolios that have specific needs, as well as Google. I ended up googling around for nice "fire and forget" portfolios that I don't have to pay much attention to. I use crypto for higher risk investing.

in an inflationary environment you want to buy value stocks. stocks that typically generate strong cash flows and pay healthy dividends. true growth stocks are generally not turning meaningful profits and spending cash to grow. high inflation = higher spending = more trouble for growth stocks

consumer staples stocks generally aren't too bad of a buy during inflation as they can increase the prices of their products easier than discretionary sectors. People need to eat, need to buy essentials, etc. they may buy less of whatever the staples are but they will still buy them

outside of equities there's always TIPS which are treasury inflation protected securities, indexed to inflation. gold or commodities also work

My investment strategy is income driven and heavily hedged as follows:

oil sector -->mREITS sector -->Tech sector (selling covered calls).

I take the dividends from oil (currently around 10 to 15k a month) and I dump it into mREITS sector. I then take the mREIT dividends (currently around 2k to 3k a month) and I dump it into the tech sector, which i then sell covered calls against. Everything has a stop loss in case of another black swan event. I never reinvest my dividends into the same sector (as a hedge), and I always buy at discount.

Alot of people have no idea on how to invest let alone try to get income on it. They focus only on the valuation of the stock (AMZN/GOOGL/TESLA) and forget about dividend stocks, when they should be looking at it first. Worse, people don't know how to reinvest their cash, and buy high and sell low..lol.

I found out that by investing in high yield dividend stocks when they are cheap, you increase your wealth (valuation of stock) and income (dividend/interest) over time (increase share count). I rather make money 3 ways instead of 1 way and during bear markets/recessions, it keeps my losses to a minimum,. I basically copy Warren Buffet's strategies. Collect dividends, reinvest dividends into distressed SECTORS, and then wait for the pop, then go buy something cool for the 4runner.

Investing is a side hobby for me, I do it for fun, and I make a shit ton of money from it. Only thing i can say is find a strategy that works for you, and stick with it. I didnt come up with this strategy or the funds to do this overnight.

Anyone wants to continue talking about money/investing, continue to post here. I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MONEY...lol.
