Sometimes as black people we have to stop listen and learn. The stock market has always been a way to pass on the generational wealth you can’t take money with you. I can hear people on a consistent stock is where you can lose your money so true. But with patience and long-term thinking, it wears you can grow your wealth. During this time of the pandemic we everyone was thinking the world is coming to an end Bitcoin went down to 4000 dollars now it up to 30000. that was an investing opportunity many people made money if they did not get scared. If they got scared they lost big. The market dropped during the pandemic but know it at record highs. Warren Buffet said, ” If you can’t have it in the market for 10 years you can’t afford to have it in there for 10min”. This is a long-term thing yes you can lose but if you pick solid companies and invest in the future you can win. This is not meant for advice it for the sole purpose to educate and remove fear. One thing for sure leaving your money in a bank is not going to make you rich. But it will make you secure to see it not going down. But it sure won’t double or triple either. If you scared talk to the adviser but put your money to work for you. Even when you look for black people and the stock market there are few images available. Stop being scared check it out

Overseas, the pan-continental Stoxx Europe 600 rose 1.4%.
The U.K.’s FTSE 100 was the best-performing major index in Europe, jumping 2.7%. The trade deal struck on Christmas Eve between the U.K. and the European Union is likely delivering a boost to British stocks, said Sebastian Mackay, a multiasset fund manager at Invesco.
“A lot of the tail risks of a no deal [Brexit] have been removed now. This will lead people to start dipping their toes again in the U.K. market,” he said.
Investors also said they were reassured by newly released data on the health of the manufacturing sector. Factories in Asia and Europe increased their output as 2020 drew to a close, according to surveys of purchasing managers that showed strong rises in activity during December.
“We’re going through renewed lockdowns, which is curtailing activity to some extent, but what we’ve seen through the pandemic is that manufacturing activity tends to hold up quite well,” Mr. Mackay said.

China’s Shanghai Composite gained 0.9%, even after a private survey showed China’s manufacturing activity moderated in December due to weak demand for the country’s exports.
Ben Luk, senior multiasset strategist at State Street Global Markets, said the data pointed to continued fragility in the Chinese economy. But he said that helped ease concerns that China’s central bank would act prematurely to tighten monetary policy.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 0.7% by the end of trading after Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he might declare a state of emergency in Tokyo and surrounding areas as new coronavirus infections continue to rise.
Paul Sandhu, head of multiasset quant solutions for the Asia-Pacific region at BNP Paribas Asset Management, said markets in Asia had largely picked up where they left off in 2020, as investors continue to favor riskier assets like equities in emerging markets such as China, South Korea and Taiwan. He said he expected Asia to be one of the most robust parts of global markets, due in part to its relative success in containing the coronavirus.
