Im afraid that that I've taken it to far for pitching it. Now that it accomplishes a impossible gole. So any pitch sounds far fetched. Like it's only a scam. That and few understand the princable of it's operation' being it's for extracting flourgold. A type of gold that few understand. As there is yet to be a personal means of collecting it precisely. So only the larger forms of it are understood as having a value. For nothing working today that has the ability to collect the smaller flecks of it. That holds more gold than any other form of placer gold on earth. And goes unnoticed and not measured do to everyones inability to collect it. With only a rare few knowing the values it holds in protecting circles. As people don't want to know about the gold that their now having to throw away to get the little bit of larger gold off the top. No I'm stuck proving it myself through using it. And am now on a path to that end. Just financing it myself is hard to do with only an SSI check to work with. That and I have sever IBS. So everything is made ten times harder. As I save every dime and spend my pennies wisely as I give my life to my invention. One that is poised to help a great many in the hard days to come. And I'm to far past the inception of it to be able to just quit trying now.

Matt's Magical 8... 1. Opening Slide- Logo & Sexy One Liner 2. Sell the problem - Know your audience (rich 10 year olds) 3. Sell the solution - convince them THEY are right! 4. Market Opportunity - Your market is growing (just add CAGR) 5. Traction - Momentum and proof of execution over time (not just revenue & subs) 6. Business Model - The business case of how you will monetize 7. Team - You are the right team or will hire the known unknowns (are you the ones to pull it off?) 8. The Ask - What can the audience do for you? ps. Founders, know your numbers and connect yourself to your brand.

The stock market is currently experiencing a decline while bond yields are on the rise. However, there seems to be skepticism amongst investors regarding the Federal Reserve's plan to continue increasing interest rates until inflation is stabilized. As for myself, I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain whether to liquidate my $250,000 stock portfolio. I'm seeking advice on the best strategy to capitalize on this current bear market.

Thank you for your time. Truly life changing.

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

@Stephine-un5zs Ай бұрын

Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.

True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

The collapse of Margin debt leads to a decrease in stock prices and trigger a wave of selling as investors try to cover their losses, Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard.
