Aloha Investors!
Sorry I wasn’t able to post last week Friday due to the markets being closed for Good Friday. The good news is that I was able to buy stocks before this week’s up market. Unfortunately today was a negative day, so once again I wish I had more money to invest in the stock market. I still believe this year is a good year to invest in the stock market due to the fluctuation in the market. I am confident that next year will be a good year for stocks because inflation and rate hikes will slow down. The economy will take years to recover from all the inflation and rate hikes, but it will bring everyone back to reality and think before they spend money. Right now everyone in the US is spending money they don’t have. I hope with the rate hikes and inflation people will realize cash is king now.
If you can afford it I would suggest investors to still invest in stocks they understand and believe in. If you can’t see the company in business 30 years from today, then don’t invest in it.
