Great video and excellent tips! This is undoubtedly a challenging time for new investors, but the key is to avoid making decisions driven by emotions. Market downturns can be an opportunity to buy high-conviction stocks or crypto at a discount, as wealth is often built during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio’s performance is affecting your mental health, take a break—delete the app, go for a walk, and focus on the long-term potential. Personally, I’ve leaned into long-term trading strategies and have had significant success in a few weeks through proper guidance. Diversifying and backing up your assets is essential in case the market takes a bearish turn. Thanks again, Linda..Mikalonis, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

The emphasis on having a clear exit strategy is crucial, especially after experiencing the volatility of previous bull and bear markets. It's refreshing to see the focus on setting realistic goals and understanding Crypto trading. This approach not only prepares you for unexpected market shifts but also keeps you grounded during the volatile of the market price. It's a valuable reminder that crypto investing should ultimately serve our personal aspirations, rather than just becoming a game of chasing numbers…managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 932k in the space of a few months. Thanks again, Seren Wintersun , for the regular updates,
My uncle used to tell my aunt: "you're saving me into the poor house!"
Will there be another boom in the Bakken?
What is a “structural buyer?”
Burns, Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen, Mnuchin, Warsh… ????????
Can XAU & DXY go up together?..
Reduction of price due to demand destruction is kind of like holding your breath while swimming the length of an Olympic size swimming pool.
When you finally get to the other edge… you take in a BIG gasp of crude oil.
so the most successful oil companies forward will be those who have spent the most in the last decade.

I'd agree in Rick with the negative interest view. I'd say it's been negative for at least 12-18months tbh.????

Good interview- got to say I almost didn't watch cause the thumbnail looked like A.I.slop.
Respectfully, I believe that countries that deserve military attention rightfully hold the responsibility and award to replenishing whatever was used. I believe that oil from Venezuela and Iran will replenish the United States Petroleum Reserve and I fully endorse President Trumps belief in this principle. You don’t go into using military force and eat the cost, stupid people do that, corrupt people working for the globalists do that. The days of the people eating the cost while the City of London benefiting are OVER! I thank God every day for President Trump and his Administration. ???????? ???????? ???????? ???? ???????
Had the pleasure to meet Rick at Rebel Capitalist Live last month. Never met anyone with his level of wealth and stature who was so generous with his time and sharing his knowledge.
