I am throwing as much as I can in the next three years into the Stock Market…
I am 47 and am determined to get as much money invested in the market. All of it will be invested in individual stocks. The 457 will be maxed, the Roth IRA will be maxed, anything leftover will be invested in the brokerage account.
No bonds, No index funds…Not until I leave my employer
Hope to have a clean double from today by 55…
If he double comes earlier, so will my Retirement…
I hope you noticed that Trump announced major tariff increases this afternoon after the close. There was a major shift downward in after hours trading by abt 3% so far.
Investors will worry about possible recession and response by other nations. Could be an excellent time to buy stocks if you pick the right ones. But risky. Might take months to learn which stocks will be ok or do well and which will get hurt for earnings.
If you are loaded only on US stocks lost decade will be your enemy. There is a possibility of current administration and its tariffs for another 4 years or 50% of the time.
The point is you need to diversified, to expect average returns. If you are all in on US stocks, wishing you and I good luck
