Trump doing Tariffs and multiple invasions/wars have caused inflation to go up on energy and critical minerals. This is why people are mad about inflation and the GOP's actions.
I made some mistakes by not investing in stocks over the past 10 years. I was focused on real estate and just saved my money hoping to buy somehting. Prices kept going hip and I kept saving more.indie buy one home. However I met the rest of my money sit in the bank and now have 10 years of savings just sitting in the bank. Now I want to take half of it I’m and invest in stocks. ETF….not individual stocks but common etf’s. VOO, qqqm, vxus, schd. I’m 49 and will retire are 62. So my question. This large sum of money. How should I dump it in the above ETF’s. All at once. Or slowly to dollar cost average. Say i have 100K. Should I invest it slowly over a year. Maybe weekly investment over 3 years? What would you reccomend. Worry stocks will go down and i will miss a buying opportunity. I really hurt myself by previously not investing. If I had that money in the s&p I could have retire earlier. When I was younger i gambled 300 k in stocks and lost half of it and this was the reason I was scared to invest again. If I had just kept it in the S&P I would have over 1.5 million now. Anyways….in having regrets…..nervous about investing in stocks. Just want to know how to invest this large sum of money. Slowly over years? Over 1 year. Over 3 years? Any advice would help.
I'm especially concerned about the P/E ratio (I know, everyone brings up the rule of 40 thing for PLTR in response, but idk man 131x is high)
But that rule of 40 IS the highest I've ever seen. Very impressive stuff regardless of what you think of Karp
And then the short ratio is crazy thanks in part to Michael Burry inspiring many wannabe bear but honestly a lot of others might have done it anyway
And now Spain is blacklisting them from gov contracts?? Has anyone heard anything about that?
The physical metals market just delivered a massive shock to the traditional financial system this morning. Gold has officially broken the $4,000 per ounce barrier, trading at $4,026.28, while silver is aggressively pushing toward the $60 mark, currently sitting at $58.74. This is no longer a slow grind upward. We are watching a real time scramble for hard assets as the purchasing power of fiat currency continues to erode under systemic inflationary pressure.
Wall Street and major financial institutions are largely ignoring the reality of these price levels. For years, the mainstream narrative pushed the idea that precious metals were outdated, but the math is finally catching up to the market. Smaller market cap metals are exhibiting extreme volatility alongside silver, while gold remains the stable benchmark absorbing the most significant capital inflows.
Morning Price Action Breakdown
| Precious Metal | Current Price (Per Ounce) | Market Dynamics |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | $4,026.28 | Benchmark stability, absorbing massive capital inflows |
| Silver | $58.74 | High volatility, driven by dual monetary and industrial demand |
| Platinum | $1,562.90 | Mirroring silver's volatility due to a smaller market cap |
| Palladium | $1,169.50 | Correlated industrial pricing movements |
This aggressive price action directly impacts the baseline economics of domestic producers currently operating in North America. For factual context on the operational side of the industry, Americas Gold and Silver ($USAS) operates the Galena Complex in Idaho and the Cosalá Operations in Mexico, producing silver, copper, and lead from established underground mining infrastructure. When spot prices detach this violently from historical averages, the financial metrics for active extraction sites change completely.
The real debate now is how central banks will respond to gold essentially declaring a loss of faith in the dollar. When physical assets decouple from paper markets to this degree, it usually signals a permanent structural shift. It is only a matter of time before the broader retail market wakes up to what these numbers actually mean for their personal savings.
I am scared to invest and lose money. What is a “safe way to invest my money” and see some kind of decent return. I currently make 3-4% on the 300k but I know I should be doing better elsewhere. PLEASE HELP, I’M A PUSSY! (and a former gambler 😒)
I put $10,000 into itrustinvestment.com after searching online and finding positive reviews. Now I’m trying to withdraw my money, but I can’t get it out. Has anyone used this site before? Is it legit or did I possibly get scammed?
Hi guys! It’s June 30th which to me is a FIRE holiday! The year is somehow half over so how are your stats? We’ve managed only to put away about 11k savings so far (goal is 30k for year so a bit behind) BUT our investments have grown 84k. That’s 73k growth without us—I attribute that to our imaginary roommate—Compound Jones. My wife and I only make about 115/year so this 73 from our friend is quite nice.
I hope the second half keeps trending the right way but I’ll try not freaking out if it doesn’t.
Wide moat, all-weather financial infrastructure. Seems like the time to buy.
