What are your predictions? This is just for predictions, I don't want people to start saying to instead ask a financial advisor ,instead of asking here. I am not seeking advice, like my other post.
What to invest in?

I've done best when I invest in companies I like and have first hand knowledge in. Being a Gulfstream Aircraft guy and absolutely impressed with Honeywell Avionics, I invested in General Dynamics and Honeywell many years ago. Both did extremely well.
My GE stock on the other hand (not a company I ever liked) was a complete disaster.
My favorite companies make this:
GE made these two year lifespan compressors. Something they've been making for 100 years and still can't get right:

Invest or speculate? You invest in something that produces an income stream, or rises in value due to growth. So, you invest in stocks, bonds, CDs, rental houses, farm land. Everything else is speculation. You speculate with gold, silver, wheat, frozen concentrate orange juice, bare land.
There is are stocks I wish I had speculated on yesterday morning. I am waiting to invest in other than CDs for the market volatility to settle out.

There are no investments. You either take dollars, buy stuff, sell stuff for more dollars or you don't earn a thing.
Like they say; if it don't make dollars it don't make sense.

Diversify your portfolio, in order of risk:
0. Cut down consumption
1. Put some money in physical gold (not jewelry), invest in a safe deposit box
2. Have cash on hand, invest in Treasury Bills or Notes
3. Invest in companies that pay dividends and have a strong market positions and a steady track record of paying dividends. These are boring companies that no one talks about.
4. Tech-feudal companies, aka the Magnificent Seven - data is a valuable commodity and they possess all the commercially available data of the world population

My Favorite Staple is WMT
WMT (Walmart) solid performance even through Covid when times are bad, WMT is as safe as I feel I can get. Had a 300% gain in the last 6 years or so. Purchased back then around $90 and recently had a 3 for 1 spilt and back to $90
If I purchased $5000 worth back in the 1970s when I graduated it would be worth rough numbers 75,000,000 (seventy five million today)
My next, only owned for less than a year but love it mostly
META (Facebook) Got me but doesnt have to produce a product in any country, yet advertises to over 3 billion users.
This one, I am unsure, cant see losing (though its down slightly now) Just never was a fan but bought some recently at $220/
AMZN (Amazon) not in love with this but I own it. Money isnt in their retail but in their cloud services (AWS)
This is my Roth spec account, I could swap out companies at any time. Though I always hold a lot of WMT and really loving META as the new comer.
Not a fan of AMZN though I own it.
IN my 401 K I simply hold S&P and Nasdaq index funds.
The staples:
Alcohol
Tobacco
Firearms

Tobacco
Firearms
Twinkies for shelf life
Constantly buying into quality market indexes for the long term and treasuries when they're high yielding is a proven way to go. There are some forms of reduced or tax free investments like municipal bonds. I'd be careful in corporate bonds as they can be speculative even if they're senior to shares you may still not ever get paid out and if you do it can take a while and isn't smooth sailing.
Europe.
Your saying to just buy European stocks ?
I'm no expert but I like to buy stuff I like. I've only dabbled, but this has mostly got me good results.
I bought Starbucks while it was down and then when they got their new CEO the stock basically doubled and I sold it. I bought Tesla a few weeks ago when it was down and then sold it at a nice profit. I'm talking small amounts invested, so nothing life changing, but it adds up here and there.

Do you really have a Shiba ? My daughter has one and that dog acts like a cat
Haha no although one day when I work from home, have my own house, I will get one.
