Last year I was going to take a bit of my savings and buy an investment property since there is a housing shortage, but I worried it was too volatile and didn’t want to deal with the mgmt, so I bought a variety of stocks instead. But now the stock market is in a slump and my portfolio of self-selected picks is underperforming, although I am collecting the dividends. It’s not enough to live off of, though, and I’m hesitant to invest any more money. Thoughts? Any ideas for other income?

How do you feel about influencer realtors? I've seen a couple and the way they have to put themselves out there to create "awareness" for real estate is both commendable and scary.

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?
