Basically came to say this. If you don't have an emergency supply of food and ammo, I'd recommend starting there. Then, some hard assets. Toothpaste futures trade much higher during a disaster, so a little hedging ain't a bad idea. Only then would I look at stocks.
The markets are being propped up artificially by QE ad infinitum, and subsequently, margin is next to nothing and being abused to a scale never before seen. Not only does this allow institutional traders to buy, buy, buy, with next to no skin in the game, but it also allows corporations to buy back their own stock such that they can release it in the future when interest rates are higher. This is known as "creative accounting."
Plus, with the advent of index fund madness, the SEC has allowed MANY MULTIPLES of outstanding shares of all stocks to be sold, far, far above the number available for ownership. Whenever you purchase shares in an index fund, such as an "S&P 500 Fund," that fund has to own, in your behalf, an equal proportion of shares equivalent to their distribution in the index. This means that ALL THE DOGS in the S&P are inflated, along with everything else.
Analysts have been warning about an impending crash for months. Real estate is already crashing in some markets. Inflation is off the charts, and the U.S. is dangerously close to losing preferred nation status with the U.S. Dollar. Forgive me, but this is not a market for a self-described rookie looking for stock suggestions on GAW.
I was a futures trader many years ago...not a stock trader...but I know plenty about the markets. Based upon my analysis (I was a technical trader), the DOW should be trading in the 15-17,000 range. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for it to be trading at these levels. You may say, but I'm not interested in any of the DOW 30. Believe me, if the DOW is cut in half, all the others will follow. As a matter of fact, the NASDAQ is even more overvalued.
Stay in cash for now. You will get your chance. Don't look at stocks going higher, and have FOMO. That happens to every trader. Papertrade to begin, while you learn the ropes. Learn about executing limit orders, and plan the trade: trade the plan. Don't get greedy, and think of trades as a lottery ticket. Execute smaller trades, in and out. Trading is more psychological than most people realize, and the traders who fail, fail to recognize this important factor.
I’m not an expert in stocks but before all this derivatives BS didn’t people buy stocks in companies that were good so they could share in the profits?
You would buy a stock to get paid a dividend and eventually when you had enough stock in good companies you could retire off the dividends.
Now the only profits are made when the price of the stock goes up.
It seems with all these stock trading apps a lot of small money is being invested that the dark pool traders can eventually steal.
If you believe in Trump and Truth Social, DWAC or DWACW is a good long term hold.
Other than that I am holding GME (Game Stop) because it seems to be very undervalued and over shorted by the banks. Essentially, if you believe the Cabal is going to be defeated then there is a good chance GME will shoot.
Truth Social also announced that they would be using Rumble's platform to build their social media. If you believe Rumble is going to do well in long term you can buy CFVI - (NOTE - there is some other random stock called CFIV, so be careful!)
I suggest you get one of those trading apps and use the training mode, which most of them have. I do not suggest you follow any of my advice; I am just this guy, you know?
Try to envision the world in 1-10 years and think about what will become bigger and what will disappear.
I have been doing this for a few years and have made moderate gains. Follow the news and reevaluate your investments.
I got out of oil as soon as I heard Ukraine and Russia were negotiating a deal. I was proven right to do so, as the value dropped ever since. (Managed to make ~45% gains with that, investing about 10k initially).
I have noticed many crops and derived products show a seasonal rise and fall. Figure out the phase of the motion and get in when low.
I have invested in some lithium companies, which to be honest turned out to be a mixed success. Some companies boomed, others did not. I think on the whole, with the whole "green" agenda, lithium, cobalt and similar things needed for electric mobility will gain. I do expect them to drop as soon as it becomes clear EVs are not good enough just yet. Battery technology may be a viable investment.
I thought tech companies were going to do well, as we are moving towards a depression. People will be without a job and will want entertainment. This will require tech and infrastructure. However, they have not done well at all. I guess people are already saturated with Netflix and others. Facebook / Meta; Glad I got out in time. It seems they are past their prime and I do not think with the current leadership they will recover.
A little trick I apply; I invested $1000 in a natural gas CFD and the value went down by 40%. Instead of getting out with the loss, I reevaluated: Was there a chance the price will go up short term? I looked t the chart and world politics and figured I should take the risk. I invested $2000 on top of the $1000. After a few weeks natural gas rose significantly, so I could get $3000 out, even having a little profit.
But all of this is definitely NOT advice. My only advice is: Get a trading app that allows you to run it in simulation mode. Do this for a few months and see if you have the right insights to risk your money.

Just my opinion!
Dwac is in a good dip right now, I believe it's well below its real worth.

If this is too tedious; Invest in physical stuff.
