Why I’m Moving Away from the Stock Market — and Where I’m Putting My Money Instead

The market took another hit this week.

After President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, we saw stocks wobble, bond yields jump, and uncertainty surge — again. And as someone who’s been watching markets, investing, and building wealth strategies for over two decades, I’ve seen this pattern before.

Big headlines. Big reactions. And big-time volatility for everyday investors.

⸻

I’ve been there.

I used to be all-in on the stock market. It’s where I started. And for years, it felt like the best way to build wealth.

But here’s what changed:

The market isn’t just about business anymore. It’s about politics, media cycles, rate speculation, and emotion. It’s a storm — and unless you’re a full-time trader, it can wear you down.

Over time, I started to ask a better question:

“Is there a way to grow my money without the chaos?”

⸻

That’s why we built Connect Invest. 

At Connect, we created something simple: short-term fixed-income investing backed by real estate — with up to 9% annual returns, monthly interest payments, and no market exposure.

You pick your term — 6, 12, or 24 months — lock in your rate, and let your money work.

No guessing. No screen-watching. Just calm, structured growth.

⸻

When the market swings, my income doesn’t.

This past week proved it again. While the Dow dipped, our investors kept earning — uninterrupted. That’s the power of real-world assets and fixed returns.

And I’m not just sharing this as a company leader — I’m sharing it as someone who uses it personally. I’ve moved a big portion of my own portfolio into Connect Notes, because I want peace of mind just like you do.

Here’s what I believe:

• You don’t need to time the market.
• You don’t need to chase every rally.
• You need clarity, consistency, and control.

We’ve helped thousands of investors — from retirees to busy professionals — take back that control. And right now, more people are waking up to the fact that fixed income isn’t boring… it’s smart.

⸻

Final thought…

The stock market will always be there. But that doesn’t mean your money has to ride every wave.

If you’re ready to earn fixed returns, backed by real estate, without the stress — I’d love for you to give Connect Invest a try.

We built it for moments like this.
