Since the market began to drop, we've received thousands of emails from concerned Tycoon Report readers who have lost money in the markets and feel uncertain about what to do next. In response, Teeka put together a special video report to answer your questions and guide you through these volatile times.
The video has now been indexed for your convenience, making it easier to move from question to question. Please click the links below to view the videos.
Question 1 – Do you think, given all the current and coming strains on our economy, that we will experience something akin to Japan's "Lost Decade" – i.e., Virtually no growth or appreciating share prices – AND with rising inflation thrown in?
Question 2 – Why is the price of Gold weakening despite the general lack of confidence in paper assets? Has it lost its perceived "safe–haven" status? What is the longer term outlook for Gold?
Question 3 – Will the U.S. Dollar be able to hold onto its recent gains, or is this perhaps just a short–term phenomenon? What is the U.S. Dollar's longer–term price outlook vs. the Euro?
Question 4 – Could you please give us your opinion on where you see commodities going, specifically oil, in the next year? If we truly are in a global recession do you see prices continuing to fall?
Question 5 – What indicators will you use to determine if the market has hit the bottom?
Question 6 – As we come out of the bear rotation will we see the traditional rotation to small caps first, then Technology as leading the "new" bull upturn. Or will the beaten down Financials and Homebuilders lead the way?
Question 7 – What do I do now as a retired person who needs monthly income from my investments that have dropped over 60% (I am mainly in energy and gold which I thought would be safe when the overall market dropped).
Question 8 – I must admit, I have relied on mutual funds primarily in the past, but I am wondering if I would do better to continue to rely on them or sell off and start buying up some the badly beaten down Blue Chips with good dividends for the most part – and then do some trading as well. See, I had thought I wasn't going to have to go back to work – I'm age 57. Right now, the losses have been so bad, that like many of the other baby boomers I don't know what to do. What would you recommend? Fortunately, I still have something to work with, but I think I'd best learn how to manage it myself and rely less on others. Again, your advice would be helpful.
Question 9 – How severe do you think the recession will be in term of its duration and unemployment rate etc? Beside consumer staples, can you think of any stock/sector that will buck the trend during recession/depression?
Question 10 – Is there a possibility of double digit inflation or even hyperinflation going forward?
Question 11 – What is going on with Gold and Gold mining companies? Are governments manipulating the market through not allowing failures, or is it naive to think it should bounce to an inflation–adjusted new high? Any idea on the timeframe for a breakout?
Question 12 – What's your outlook over next 1 to 3 years for oil? What's your outlook for the financial sector in US and EU over the next 12–18 months?
Question 13 – How do you see gold, oil and natural gas faring in the next 6 months? Will inflation start to be a major factor in the market and in the cost of living?
Question 14 – Which indicator do you use to know when there is a reversal likely to occur in the market or in a certain stock?
Question 15 – What is a safe way to make a steady amount of money in the market without a great deal of risk, either in fluctuations of the market or in high amounts of capital? I am not talking about dividends four times a year but a steady monthly income.
