What Should You Be Doing With Your Money Right Now?
If you’re feeling uncertain about where to put your money right now, you’re not alone. The economy’s got more twists than a soap opera rising inflation, political posturing, and a market that seems completely disconnected from reality. So what should you be doing? Stocks? Real estate? Sitting on cash?
To cut through the noise, I sat down with my friend Anna Kelley New York Times bestselling author, real estate powerhouse, and someone who’s managed over $400 million in assets. She’s been on Wall Street, worked with institutions like AIG, and most importantly knows how to thrive during financial chaos.
Where the Stock Market is Missing the Mark
Anna doesn’t pull punches. According to her, today’s stock market is being driven by hopium not fundamentals. Valuations are sky-high, earnings are soft, and passive investing has concentrated risk in just a handful of stocks.
Even scarier? Most people don’t realize that leading economic indicators have been flashing red since 2022. But the media keeps cheering on every little bounce, ignoring the deeper warning signs.
The Real Estate Reality Check
If you’ve lost money in real estate over the past year, you’re not alone. Even seasoned investors like Anna have had to navigate new territory. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to bail. The key is knowing where to invest and when.
Anna breaks down why long-term rentals in solid markets still hold value, while short-term and speculative deals are riskier than ever. She also explains why understanding economic cycles especially leading indicators like the yield curve is essential for positioning your wealth.
So… What Should You Be Doing?
The biggest takeaway? You can’t afford to sit idle. Doing nothing is a decision and usually not a good one.
Focus on fundamentals. Know your investment DNA. And above all, don’t invest based on media headlines. Get educated, pay attention to timing, and put your money where it will work harder and smarter.
