Is anyone nervous about the whole Russia situation and how that may affect the market if an actual invasion takes place? Do you think it makes sense to take out investments just until things settle down, or even assuming the fed will increase interest rates? Thoughts?

Nervous? Yes. Selling out of positions? No.

Time in market over timing the market.

Exactly. Look for those dips and buy.

Definitely nervous. The biggest financial impact will be on energy prices with Russian oil sales being blocked. I hope Russia is smarter than this. If the west block all access to banks and financial systems the impact on Russia will be severe. It will be like the sanctions on Iran or N Korea. The people of Russia will suffer.

Funny how Europe and Ukraine itself are less interested in defending their borders than the US... Pretty sure the moneyed interests have nothing to do with that!

I’m pretty nervous on the Russia situation. But at the same time, I don’t want to be holding cash during 7%+ inflation. Thus I’ve been shifting more into agriculture, energy, and defense/military stocks to position for a possible invasion.

I’d just hold because of all that financial wisdom and my laziness.

That said, I have been monitoring this situation very closely for months and work in the national security space. I estimate that the risk of invasion is now extremely high for several reasons, none of them good. We are rapidly approaching a “now or never” point for the amassed Russian forces on the border.

1 million "Americans" are dead and market have given best performance in recent history. I really doubt situation would be any different even Russian invade whole ukrain. Russia doesn't give damn to American threats and Europeans will have their brian frozen if they cut off russian gas. Even russian are not planning for large scale war. Just few bullets, missiles will fly and there will be ceasefire before we even know it.

Russia and China will invade on the same day. Taiwan is the bigger deal for the US market IMHO.

This is not correct.

The PLA is still undergoing its modernization reforms through 2025, and there have not been any Chinese exercises in the logistics required to launch a combined arms amphibious assault. There has also been no buildup or mobilization of Chinese forces across the strait.

That said: it’s coming. And when it happens, it will be far more consequential and damaging.

No we’ve been through world wars and multiple pointless US invasions of random Muslim countries. Will it impact the short term, sure it might. In the long run, little to no bearing.

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
