Is anyone of the opinion that we are nearing another downfall? If yes, any guesses on timing, approx what % decline are we heading towards and what our investment strategy could be, if No what makes you feel bullish despite the economical suffering? Background: I have been investing for 2.5 years, had 250K in stocks/ options (all time 40% gain) and am in a bearish state of mind RN, have sold 65% of stocks and trying to get opinions so I can frame next steps for myself.

Near term (1-2 months) not sure where we go, but with the election and general fall trends we should see more volatility and volume, which could mean big swings to the downside and subsequent rebounds the upside.

I will say this though - every time we have been in a situation like this with elevated stock prices, bubble, whatever you want to call it, people make a case why this time is different and why stocks will continue to rise no matter what and no correction is near. Over time, they will be proven wrong and the markets will correct. If you are bearish, being in a cash position like you are is best, and maybe swing trading stocks and options.

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?

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?
