Grandparents just gave me 25 grand from a stock they had me invest in years ago

Expect big gains from Radient Technologies in Monday and Tuesday. They are the top outfit looking in to mj extracts (oils). Have non-exclusive partnership with Aurora Cannabis. Current share price is 1.50 and could shoot to 3.00 on a speculative pump/dump this week. I thinks it's also a reasonably strong bet for long term as the company does other stuff besides marijuana related.

THCX has potential to moon the instant rumors start flying about buyouts by the bigger companies. It could be a couple months of bag holding on this one though.

You are really missing the point, the Shanghai composite bounced back by 2010. In 2010 it was more then twice it was in 1997. At the same point in time the sp500 just managed to break even with its market value in 1997 at 2010. The same with the Dow jones.

Forgot to tack on the fact that china continued to add GDP growth during that period and not fall in recession. In terms of stock value, yes everyone was affected by the financial crisis, but in terms of growth, china escaped relatively unhurt, for now.

Oh boy. The Shanghai composite is still barely over half the highs it reached in 2008. You have a funny way of avoiding volatility and risk, bud

How old you are is obviously the biggest factor in what risk level you should tolerate.

If you are about to retire, maybe don't invest much in stocks. Stocks are for if you don't need the money at least for 10 years. If you're in your 50's and don't need to aggressively grow your nest egg, go for a majority high quality bonds and maybe 30% stocks.

If you're under 30, you have a higher risk tolerance than you think and there's nothing wrong with being 90-100% in stocks. Just never panic sell. Hold strong when shit hits the fan

thats retarded idea

Put it into stocks dumbass... Crypto is for quick flipping a couple hundred bucks. Put 5% max

Because your basing it on one point where it peaked. Look at it on a longer time scale and you can see that the Shanghai and the hang seng are good hedges against American indexs. In a longer period American indexs have performed very well but that's putting all your hopes on one country. Like it or not we are moving towards a world that is not centered around the American economy. Americas share in the worlds GDP is shrinking over time. This is not a statement that's 'omg America is over' its just a reality that the world is diversifying its economies.

>2008
you know most things did that right?

The HK50 is getting massive now with worldwide investors

Ethereum seriously
Btc might crash to 1k after hitting 10k

Bear in mind that when investing in foreign assets, your returns will be influenced by the foreign currency exchange rate. Chinese stocks could make a killing, but if China is devaluing their currency, your real returns will be eroded.

I'm not saying America is the best screw everyone else, but no other country's economy has such an impact globally as America's. And even with other strong economies emerging. Personally I don't have such an optomistic outlook on a country that limits innovation in order to exert control over its citizens like China does. If you like China, put some there, but I wouldn't put more than 10-20 percent of the portfolio there
