TOP 3 INVESTMENTS FOR 2021? What should you invest your money into

2020s2021youtube

TOP 3 INVESTMENTS FOR 2021? What should you invest your money into! Many of you have been asking me what is going to happen in the investment world in 2021 and where you should be putting your money. Should you be investing in stocks, or gold or maybe real estate? Maybe everything is too expensive now and we should leave our money in cash?

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE IN 2021? ➤ https://youtu.be/zv36p8iAedA TWITTER HACK & BITCOIN SCAM ➤ https://youtu.be/7qILsk4ecOQ Follow me on Instagram ➤➤➤ https://instagram.com/gareth_meaker?igshid=xrfld4bo0yet So guys I have come up with my top 3 investments for 2021 and I am going to break each one of them down for you. There seems to be a consensus that 2021 will be a bit of a “risk on” environment. What does this mean? It means that people will be more willing to take a bit more risk as economies are expected to recover. So the more risky assets are expected to do well. 1) Emerging markets As I mentioned earlier, in a “risk on” market, emerging markets tend to do fairly well. They generally see an increased investment into their countries and this also strengthens their currencies because there is more demand. When the pandemic initially hit, there was HUGE concern that developing nations, will not able to handle it, especially in Africa. But in the end it seems that up till now, the developed nations, like US UK and Europe, have been hit harder and emerging markets are expected to bounce back stronger and faster than many developed nations. So how can you invest in emerging markets? Probably the easiest way is through an ETF or exchange traded fund, like EEM and VWO. Another option for you is to invest more directly in these countries; either by 1 - by opening a trading account with a broker 2 - a direct investment in real estate. 2) Real estate Now in last weeks’ video I gave a more detailed break down of how I think real estate will perform in 2021. Real estate shot the lights out in 2020 increasing double digits in most markets. Lower interest rates mean that monthly mortgage payment are lower and more people are able to afford them. 3) US Stocks The US stock market is still absolutely massive, and by far the largest stock market in the world. Over the long term, it has generated strong returns of 9.8% per year over the last 90 years. As a longer-term investment, especially in ETF’s or exchange traded funds, I will keep adding to the US stock market, especially when I see a bit of a drop in the market. Why on earth would it go up? 1 - Reason number 1, is that “risk on” market I explained earlier, where riskier assets, like stock tend to perform well. 2 – Search for investment returns 3 - the US Fed have said that they will do whatever it takes. T BONUS – Cryptocurrencies Despite my bad experience, I cannot deny that there can be some real value in cryptocurrencies and certainly opportunities to make money. And at least now you guys will know some of the things to look out for. Aside from all the usual reasons people like cryptocurrencies like the innovative product that it is and blockchain etc. There are 3 other reasons that I think it could do well. 1 – Search of returns. 2 – Some of the big names in the investment industry as warming up to cryptocurrencies and have started investing in it. 3 - Don’t under-estimate the power of momentum and FOMO! There could be some malicious reasons why the bitcoin price is going up so much, as we have seen it manipulated many times in the past, so just be careful of this. You can use this as a foundation to speak with a financial advisor to make sure that what you are investing in makes sense for your personal circumstances and investment objectives.

About This Footage

This 16:59 clip from 2021 offers valuable insights into the expert's top picks for investments that year. The footage features Gareth Meaker, an expert who has shared his expertise on various financial topics. In this particular video, he addresses a pressing question: where to invest money in 2021.

The context of the video is significant, as it provides a snapshot of market sentiment and expectations at the beginning of 2021. The expert notes that there seems to be a consensus among investors that 2021 will be a "risk on" environment, meaning that people will be more willing to take on risk as economies are expected to recover from the pandemic.

One of the key aspects of this footage is the expert's top three investment picks for 2021. He identifies emerging markets as one of his top choices, citing their potential to bounce back stronger and faster than developed nations. This is an interesting observation, given the initial concerns about developing countries' ability to handle the pandemic.

The expert provides two ways to invest in emerging markets: through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like EEM and VWO or by opening a trading account with a broker or making direct investments in real estate. These suggestions demonstrate his practical approach to investing, acknowledging that different investors may have varying comfort levels with risk.

Another notable aspect of this footage is the expert's discussion of market trends and expectations. He explains that in a "risk on" environment, more risky assets tend to perform well. This provides valuable context for investors who are trying to navigate the complexities of the financial markets.

The video also includes some interesting historical context, as the expert notes that emerging markets were initially expected to struggle with the pandemic but have since shown resilience. This serves as a reminder that market expectations can change rapidly, and it's essential for investors to stay informed and adapt their strategies accordingly.

Overall, this footage offers a unique perspective on investment trends in 2021 and provides valuable insights into the expert's approach to investing. It is an excellent resource for investors who are looking to understand the context of market sentiment and expectations during that time period.
