5 Best Investments for Your Roth IRAs

[@Freddylone]

11 months of investing. $67k saved, debts cleared, and a portfolio just shy of a quarter million. Taking my finances into consideration last year was worth it in retrospect. I can see a comfortable retirement on the horizon.

[@OnlyoneSithembilé]

Wow that's impressive. I don't mean to be all nosey but can you share how you're doing it? Everything about investing seems quite complicated.

[@Freddylone]

I didn’t have prior investing experience. A CFA, Herman W Jonas has taken all the guesswork out ever since I got into his program. My initial capital of $5k invested in stocks, and crypto over the short term yielded me huge profit plus bonuses. It’s all about accumulating wealth through compound interest investments.

[@Archaengelh]

That's your view. In my experience, there is no such formula, it is nearly impossible to achieve success with investing. It’s all just gambling.

[@Lancastish]

I can't seem to get it right with investing. I don't know what I might be doing wrongly. Can he help me?

She does. Search her channel.

[@PrudentStudent666]

I am not so sure about the international funds approach, which I don't hold. When America catches a cold the world catches pneumonia. Also I have noticed that many funds are juicing their funds with the big 7 tech stocks like Google, Microsoft and Amazon etc. to get higher returns. Does that offer much diversification? I use AI stocks to get more returns in the 401k which is up at times over 50 percent this past year, however it will fluctuate depending on the day.

[@JeffreyStock]

Interesting to hear you refer to Russia and China as "Third World Countries." As far as that paradigm goes, they are, of course, Second World Countries. But I guess nobody knows this anymore.

[@purplegh0st311]

They are countries with economies that are 2nd to the United States is the correct way to say it?

Thanks for the perfect update. Your videos have been great!! I am one of your viewers and have been watching your videos lately. I would like to invest but I still can't seem to find the right investment to commit to. How do I properly invest in the market and what strategies do I employ to make significant gains and stable cashflow?

[@alexjames1397]

I did the mistake you first mentioned for 4 years and didn't realize it until recently. I'm so mad I didn't check how to change the allocations and lost out on money. Oh well, lesson learned. I'm with Fidelity.

[@justinjubin6380]

[@daniellehamilton3809]

@@ItsRotheyyes, it’ll be sitting inside the money market (MM) which is better than a crappy savings account at a reg bank. So it was making about 4% in the MM, which is better than .4% in the savings acct. But it COULD have been making 15-30% just this year depending on the fund/ etf you invested into! So if it happens to hang out in the MM for a couple months, it’s better than the savings acct, but a lil sad it didn’t grow to its full potential.

Be careful with bonds. During the last market crash, bonds fell almost as much as stocks and they didn’t recover even though stocks already had.

[@joehendon1524]

Just wanted to say thank you.

[@dgreen4720]

[@mbank3832]

So should I include VTI/VOO + small cap + international + REIT + TDF all in my ROTH or choose a few ?

[@leoramirez3146]

Get all

[@pappy924]

Nah. TDF is a combo of all of the others. So either do the TDF or choose your mix of the others. TDF is set and forget but may not be optimized perfectly for your risk tolerance or preferences. I’d suggest if going TDF choose one couple decades past when you actually want to retire to be more aggressive. Just my 2c. 2 more cents is avoid TFD and also don’t waste time with international stock. Most larger US companies are global anyways and some US small cap is plenty of risk/exposure. But you do you because personal finance is get this…. Personal. Good luck!

Hate target date funds, stick to the s&p, qqqm, schd

[@daniellehamilton3809]

I’m also not a fan of the Targets. We have it in one portfolio, but I put it in for 30yrs after I want to retire. My sister has her 403b set for 20yrs past her retirement date. I don’t want that much tied up in bonds that aren’t growing as aggressively. (That being said, we do have other portfolios to fall back on, including a military pension, rental, and brokerage accts. YMMV)

[@ChaoticWolf180]

So I guess I made the mistake of investing in 3 large cap index funds FSKAX, FNCMX, FXAIX. Should I sell 2 of them and put it into the remaining index. Or just stop investing in two of them?

[@live4fire]

I would recommend using Morningstar to compare the three funds. Morningstar will indicate where each fund falls as it relates to small, mid, and large cap; and if they are value, blend, or growth. If the analysis determines they are similar capitalization and value/growth, it may warrant selling one or more to either diversify or consolidate into only one. My philosophy is to focus my Roth on higher upside returns (i.e. VOO or VB). I want to maximize tax free growth. My international and bonds are in my traditional 401k.

[@JoshGtarsP]

A small allocation to a bitcoin etf (e.g. IBIT), would also be a good choice for a Roth IRA, if you can tolerate the turbulance....

The international funds and bonds have been so bad for so long, I've been riding mass quantities of VOO and a good pile of DIVO as well, with DIVO being in an IRA an yielding 4.7%.

[@ricardosarcar]

Yes. SPX has outpefformed international funds and bonds since 2009. The all-time avg yearly ROI is also higher. No good reason to have REITs either when SPX and NDX outperforms even considering dividends.

[@LKtube1]

Hi Rose, thanks again for all you do! I just started my first ever Roth IRA account using your "Invest your first $1k" video :) I was wondering, if I went ahead and invested my entire $7k from 2024 into FXAIX, should I sell some to diversify? Or try to just invest in the other index funds you mentioned for 2025?

One of crypto’s most bizarre developments in recent memory was the creation of “Terminal of Truths” (ToT), which led to the creation of the Goatseus Maximus memecoin ($GOAT). This was more than just a memecoin though. That’s because ToT marked the beginning of a new era of Kate in crypto - specifically, Kate Agents.

Love the video

[@khoasterful]

This is a good and informational video. Just a few comments: 1) What Rose is describing is a well rounded portfolio. That said, I'm not sure why it is limited just to ROTH IRAs. I would think if someone has a portfolio blend of Brokerage, IRA, HSA, and/or ROTH IRA accounts, I would probably put REITS, Bonds, Large Caps (S&P 500) and any other high yield dividends into brokerage. The more riskier assets (small caps, individual stocks) I would put into ROTH IRA (or IRA), for example. Why? - If you're of retirement age, you may want passive income coming from brokerage account, where tax can be a factor. - Riskier assets which could potentially yield higher returns over time, can grow tax free in ROTH. - Brokerage accounts are usually (not always) the first to spend down, as to leave ROTH IRA time to grow. That, and it has huge benefits to descendants, getting it tax free, up to 10 years.

Why on God green Earth would anyone invest in international stocks. VEA is only up 2.29 percent since inception. U may as well keep it in the bank or money market. Target date funds, bonds, and international funds no go for me. Also you only get 7500 in Roth IRA, don’t you want it to grow?

I come from a developed country and never suffered hunger but the size of refrigerators, extra refrigerators in garages, tones of frozen packaged food, 5 open salad dressings, 4 kinds of mustard, and 5 open packages of staled chips is a standard in the United States households which I find mind boggling. There is a lot to say about Starbucks coffee or fancy smoothies but not much about average grocery shopping. Do we really “need” all that? I would love to see your take on that.

[@davelively7423]

Instead of separate S&P 500 and small cap funds I went with VTI, an all market ETF. Since it is market cap allocated it is about the same as owning separate funds with an 85%/15% ratio. You cannot adjust that ratio but its simpler.
