Depending on the market, right now I have QQQ 540 Puts in place. Less than 1%. Buy some, sell some. A balancing act but I sleep better buying insurance. Any thoughts?

Start with most in a managed fund, keeping 30% out. Use 10% buy gold, 15% market play. After some education, switch to a self managed account and set up your own portfolio. Education and read, read, read.

As a broker retired with 35 years of stock trading, it has been my experience that the down times must be dealt with before the big drop. Prepping investors to understand, is great guidance from you. You go, Marc.

It’s so interesting….my youngest grandson sends money to me regularly to invest for him and his older brother can only manage to Venmo me $25 once every couple of months. Needless to say, the younger one’s investment acct is leaps and bounds ahead of his brothers and I really must thank you for all of the great recommendations from the Oxford Club. I’ve learned so much from being a part of this group!!! Have a great day!
