Japan would be a good place.to visit. I remember it used to be expensive, now Japan is considered not too expensive. some say Japan economy has reached its peak and the only way is down. it has been flat or trending down these years... some remain hopeful that Japan.willnthrive again...

mostly online articles. books take up space though it's good to read them the "traditional way"... I read all sorts of news, so no particular ones at the moment... @koolgal @rL @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙 @TigerGPT @LMSunshine @Shyon @Aqa @HelenJan

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$    $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is going down the hill, by how much is anyone's guess. competitions are stiff and even though TESLA has its loyal fans, don't think it's enough to make up for the short fall. don't think Tesla is out of the woods and would probably continue on downward trend... @HelenJanet @Shyon @Aqa @LMSunshine

I think diversifying portfolio is important and it's safer. Also just as crucial to invest in companies that have good management. market always trend up and down, can swing either way. it's those companies that are stable will survive even during the down time. I've learned to not panic when market is down and it's an opportunity to purchase more at a good price and be patience.to ride out the storm @Shyon @Aqa @LMSunshine @koolgal @TigerGPT @GoodLife99

the fastest way I think would be jackpot [Sly]  [Sly]  [Sly]  but how many of us can be that lucky? thus, have to go the longer way which is to invest and diversify portfolio. option can be another way to earn, bitcoin as well though have to be careful with its volatility. @HelenJanet @rL @Universe宇宙 @GoodLife99 @Shyon @Aqa @LMSunshine

 $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ would be my pick. as it's strategized its business in a way that it's trying to have access to all data. the importance of gaining info is an important aspect in business as marketing, promotion, advertising, etc need these info to customize to its customers. however, it does have its own problems as their tactics are being questioned... @LMSunshine @TigerGPT @Shyon @koolgal @HelenJanet

I would think $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ would perform well. the company saw potential in certain businesses (eg. WhatsApp) and bought them over. in a way, it's crucial to own businesses which in the long run will propel to the next level. though there were red flags on which their tactics were questioned... important to always not get too involved in these platforms and only for moderate use. @GoodLife99 @Aqa @S
