What Stocks/ETFs are you buying?
- Thread starter friskydood
- Start date
I first got into the stock market in 1991 and between that time, and when Covid hit, I learned a lot. I pulled 7 figures out Jan 2020. Previously It just kept climbing. After Covid hit the market briefly tanked, but then governments started giving away free money, a ton of it. They continued to give away money long after Covid. In the US people got paid more to stay home rather than work. Nothing is free in life and I believe payment will come due very soon and if I am correct, the markets will hit a new low, which will be time to buy. In the interim, I am keeping everything in cash and earning about 5% with a money market fund…….unless China invades Taiwan, then all bets are off.
Diversification is key but not too diversified imo. That said, markets are doing well for me. I've been in the energy sector for a couple of years while holding balanced and dividend funds. My feeling is that it's time to begin dipping my toes into the financial sector, while still holding and buying energy. Those are my main 2 sectors I like.

If and when I jump back in, it will be Google, Amazon, Meta and several other tech companies. The Nasdaq is down 30%, but it still has room to fall.
Do some research on Peter Zeihan on utube. He seems to have alot to say about the Ukraine War (loss of raw resources from both Ukraine and Russia) for how it will effect supply chains. How the loss of Russian gas will effect Europe for manufacturing especially Germany. Also his views on China demographics and any tariffs/trade embargo should China invade Taiwan.
My general lack of depth of his knowledge, I don't know if he is handpicking his stats to present a certain point of view....
The thing is not every thing is gonna be cost effective, but it will work.
The thing is for energy (which is the key) is nuclear, solar, hydrogen or wind, . And the storage of that energy to be used later (eg at night). Raw Resources to make those energy sources tick/work.
Food Chain- California and the Colorado river valley could run out of water. There fore food production could fall off, which hits Canada in winter months. An increase in greenhouses in Canada. Farmers to build 3000-6000 sq ft greenhouses for year round fresh vegetable and fruits.
Mining exploration for rare earth metals, even on continental shelves. Expect more space rockets to get to asteroid belt for raw materials.
-Expect a border dispute with Russia over ocean rights by north pole.
-Expect the Chinese to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean (in Canadian Territorial waters).
