The Bear Market Begins
A serious warning, market reset, and the beginning of the great wealth transfer
What’s up guys, it’s Graham here.
This week I had an entirely different set of videos planned out. But looks like the market had other ideas…
This is not the first time I’m going through a Bear Market - but to investors who are just starting out, though they may have heard a lot of stories and anecdotes and advice about the bear market, everything goes out of the window when you’re actually in one. So I’ll tell you how it went down last time, what’s happening now, and what’s likely to happen - so that you can keep calm and use this opportunity to make money.
Let’s get started!
A serious warning to all investors
This video just kicked out another video I had planned in advance because the issue at hand is far greater - As it’s official that we’re entering a bear market, it’s time to recognize that for a lot of young investors, this could be the first bear market they are seeing in their lives. While it’s good advice to “buy the dip” and “make the most of this opportunity,” staying calm at a time where emotions are at a high is a difficult thing for the best of us. So let me take you through the reasons for this bear market, how the times ahead look, and what you should be doing to keep your money safe!
75 point surprise
Yup, the Fed just threw us a surprise, and not in the best way possible. Even after the Fed had hinted that 50 basis point rate hikes would be the most likely option for the next few months, inflation figures came in much higher than expected and the Fed hiked rates by 75 basis points! At this pace, the Federal Funds rate could hit 3.5-4% by the end of the year - But what does that mean for you? In this video, I’ll explain what the Federal funds rate is, how the rate hike impacts stocks, real estate, and crypto, and most important of all, how you can keep making money.
Walk down memory lane
Not many know this, but I started my career in real-estate at one of the worst times possible in real-estate history: Just before the 2007 Financial crisis, moments before Lehmann brothers went down. It was a time where getting rich seemed easy, and everyone entering real estate was making thousands - until it all went kaput. “This time is different,” they tell us, but as we enter a Bear Market once more, let’s take a look at all the times this has happened in the past. And as someone who survived through a period of uncertainty to get to a better place, I’ll tell you exactly how to prepare for the times ahead and come out on top.
So that’s it for my Sunday round-up. For the new folks here, in this newsletter, I give a quick recap of whatever you may have missed over the week on Sunday, and on Wednesday, I will be doing my deep-dive article on one of these topics.
See you next week with another bunch of exciting videos!
