Q.ai

Investing expert, @smathaidavis, suggests, "With this in mind, investors looking for defensive assets might be better off with precious metals or other commodities rather than crypto, but cryptocurrencies could benefit even more than the market if there is a big recovery.”

That market is still easily influenced. During protests in Kazakhstan, a drop in mining capacity had a negative impact on prices, which means some digital assets should be treated as risk-on assets rather than safe-havens.

 Wondering how the recent conflict affects #crypto? Many market watchers are keeping a close eye on Eastern Europe as it remains a major center for bitcoin mining, where #bitcoin is still the dominant cryptocurrency.

"Nearly everyone was wrong about the conflict in Ukraine so far. Investors are likely better off building a diversified portfolio that can ride out near-term volatility than trying to capitalize on this conflict.” —Stephen Mathai-Davis @smathaidavis

Can alternative assets provide relief from a bear market and ongoing inflation? A thread.

What does this mean for you?  In bull markets, investors can take advantage of rising prices by getting in early and selling when prices peak.  In bear markets, many investors turn toward “safer” investments like fixed-income securities or defensive stocks to ride it out.

 Typically, bull markets occur in favorable economic conditions with high employment rates. Investors often believe that the uptrend will continue, leading to a sustained increase in companies’ share prices.

 Bear markets usually occur in receding economies experiencing sluggish or negative growth, often marked by rising unemployment rates. Investors tend to believe that the downward trend will continue, leading to a sustained downward spiral that sees losses 20% or more.
