In this video I compare some of the best ETF available. Where I review the different ways to review ETF like looking at the valuation, risks, performance, and holdings. The SCHD etf, VOO, and VGT etf are a perfect group to compare since they react differently to the markets and showcase how different an etf can be when looking at the proper criteria. There are a lot of personal requirements that make an ETF the best option for each person, and those differences should be taken into account when looking at your investments.

[@marcmiller6367]

I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits learning and investing with her strategies for a year now. LAURA GRACE ABELS is one of the best advisor I have ever worked with in the past few years, she knows how best to deal with whatever market situation.kudos to her.

[@JasonDinero]

She appears to be a true authority in her profession. I looked her up online and found her website, which I browsed and went through to learn more about her credentials, academic background, and career. She owes me a fiduciary duty to act in my best interests. I set up an appointment to use her services , I just mailed her awaiting her Reply.

I admit we don't teach financial education in school. Even simple stuff like balancing a checkbook account and the credit trap that is a necessary evil. I had a high school teacher who one day decided to scrap his regular lesson plan and taught us how to balance checking, the importance of a serious emergency fund (I call the "Oh shit fund," because something happens and you need that reserve), and that minimum wage jobs are too little to survive and why educating yourself at university or in a trade is critical to have skills to be marketable in job market that will change and to learn to adapt. That was in 1988 and damn that one day I learned simple, yet critical basic financial advice I never learned at home. I do work with investing, but I need to take a more proactive role. I have a 403B plan and need to go higher risk at this point. Market is volatile, but I can buy lower now. I'm willing to do cryptocurrency . I want real tangible assets that back up any stocks, other equities, and other forms of investments from plan. I wish the last five years I had been more aggressive in new allocations, but the average American doesn't even begin investing till 40s. I started at 33 when I got a stable job. I was reared to accept social security may not be there for my generation or maybe a lot less it's value. You are so right sir. We need people to really plan their Financials. Even if it becomes your children's inheritance. Sadly one in 3 don't make it to retirement age. So if anyone is reading this, please balance saving for future, but also live a little as well. And don't wait to travel till your 60s. Find ways to travel earlier. We have no guarantees of future, and your body may make it harder to see the places you want to explore if you wait. Hugs to this fellow who wrote his comment and to you all.

Could you please make a video on top 10 innovative companies to invest in 2024? Excluding the mega Companies like Googl, NVIDIA, etc

[@Hajesse]

VGT outperformed SCHD and VOO over 5 and 10 years. Despite having most of my $500k retirement in VGT, I try to beat my Roth with my taxable account but still underperform the S&P 500.

[@Lewyn298]

I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.

[@thelooseseal]

ETFs are great, but don't rely solely on it for retirement. I retired at 62 with a $1.5M portfolio, starting with $35K, thanks to an adv1sor and dividends. Invest wisely, build your nest egg, and don't sell the chicken that lays the egg!

[@game46632]

Who is this person guiding you and how can i reach he/she?

[@thelooseseal]

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "KRISTIN AMBER LANDIS" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.

[@game46632]

Thanks for sharing. I searched her full name and found her website instantly. After reviewing her credentials and conducting due diligence, I reached out to her.

[@ElvisMarshall-xo2lw]

)The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400,000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.

[@AaliyahKhalid-kq9gl]

While there’s more pain to come, investors should look for stocks like Royal Philips NV and Alstom SA that have been beaten down enough that they’re a bargain or get a good portflio manager.

[@RichieAnnabel]

The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.

[@KennyMichael-id1bb]

How can one find a verifiable financial planner?

[@RichieAnnabel]

I use Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury. You probably must have heard of her.

[@KennyMichael-id1bb]

I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you.

[@MiaKatherine-sj7ne]

My investment strategy previously encompassed a three-fund portfolio with an allocation of 33% each in the S&P, Total Stock, and international indices. Recently, I felt compelled to pivot entirely towards growth-oriented assets, thus transitioning to a 100% stocks allocation. However, I've begun to question the logic behind simultaneously holding both the S&P 500 and Total Stock Market, considering potential redundancy. Regrettably, my investments have been in a downturn for the past month, significantly impacting my emotional well-being as I toil diligently to earn my income. This turbulence in the market has left me in a state of nervous despair. Uncertain whether to liquidate my entire portfolio or adopt a more passive stance by waiting, the sight of my investment dwindling away adds to my distress.

[@ben_dukeson]

Numerous intriguing stocks across diverse industries warrant consideration in your investment portfolio. It's crucial to recognize that acting upon every forecast isn't necessary. Therefore, I recommend engaging a financial advisor who can provide guidance on optimal timings for purchasing and selling the shares or ETFs aligning with your investment objectives.

[@Eric_moore484]

Predicting the housing market in 2024 is challenging because it remains uncertain how swiftly and to what extent the Federal Reserve can reduce cost surge and borrowing costs without negatively impacting buyer demands, including homes and automobiles.

[@Dave_East]

How did you achieve it? I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I'm looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up.

[@Eric_moore484]

There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Stacie Lynn Winson and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I support her.

[@DaveMccarthy896]

I just checked her out and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

[@austingraff1881]

[@alexyoung3126]

To enhance our long-term investment mix, my partner and I are introducing a range of stocks and ETFs.

[@lawerencemiller9720]

With the help of the same investment advisor, I diversified my 62K portfolio across many markets and in a matter of months, I was able to produce over 356K in net profit from high dividend yield equities, bonds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

[@jessicamoore3093]

This is really impressive, hope you don't mind if I ask you to recommend this particular professional you use their service? I have quite a lots of difficulty sorting myself out in this downtime.

[@lawerencemiller9720]

Natalie Marie Tuttle is my Advis0r. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I concentrate on. If you want to check her out, you may do so online. I usually trade in accordance with her strategy.

[@jessicamoore3093]

[@lawerencemiller9720]

To enhance our long-term investment mix, my partner and I are introducing a range of stocks and ETFs. We've committed $220k initially, with a particular emphasis on inflation-protected bonds and businesses demonstrating robust cash flows. I see potential for enduring growth in the current market, yet I'm also keen to explore strategies for generating short-term gains.

[@alexyoung3126]

While the current market offers short-term profit potential, it's crucial to note that executing such a strategy requires expertise and skill.

[@jessicamoore3093]

Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one.

[@checkforme234]

My advisor is 'Natalie Marie Tuttle'. In terms of portfolio diversity, she's a genius. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience

[@jessicamoore3093]

Thanks for sharing this. I curiously searched for her full name and her website came up top search. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks

[@KarlGrabe955]

The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends| I just tallied my dividends for the year;$167k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.

[@Greghilton3]

My "boring" index funds just paid me over $6,000 in dividends last month. This is money that i can choose to spend without having to sell any of my shares. But for now i have it all set to reinvest to buy me even more index funds.

[@CindyValenti]

Anyone have recommendations for a reliable monthly investment? I hope to ultimately supplement my income from work with a monthly income from investments. I will still make long-term investments, but it would be wonderful to have a little additional money each month

[@Davidstowe872]

Even if we are not accustomed to such volatile markets with a little carnage, the widespread frenzy and worry are understandable given that the US Stock Market has been on its longest bull run in history. However, there are opportunities everywhere if you know where to look; with the help of an investment advisor whom helped diversify my portfolio I netted over $260k in profits the previous year.

[@Quason788]

Who’s your financial advisor please?

[@Davidstowe872]

There’re a lot of financial coaches but “Vivian Carol Gioia” has shown credibility and professionalism over the years. That’s why I can boldly recommend her

[@FrankIjeoma-mi5lc]

Every crash/collapse/recession provides an equal market opportunity if you are properly prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people amass up to $800,000 during crises and even with ease in a bad economy. Someone has undoubtedly become extremely wealthy as a result of the crash.

[@ElvinWright]

I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience.

[@GeorgiaMoore.]

I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

[@FrederickBlein]

Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge

[@Martinspurling]

Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.

Thank you for sharing !!!

[@Farmwald853]

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[@Parzen753]

Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert

[@LagerthaJackson]

True, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@Fahima9Tazin]

How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

I'm hesitant to make recommendations like this online so I can't drop her contact here, but you could look her up yourself and contact her if you wish. Her name is Natalie Noel Burns.

[@Fahima9Tazin]

I greatly appreciate it. I'm fortunate to have come upon your message because investing greatly fascinates me. I'll look Margaret up and send her a message. You've truly motivated me. God's blessings on you.

[@Richardcarlett]

I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me. I think I'll cut rents to attract potential buyers and exit the market, but i'm at crossroads if to allocate the entire $680k liquidity value to my stock portfolio?

[@DavidRiggs-dc7jk]

"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task

[@theresahv]

Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.

[@berkrix4312]

this sounds considerable! think you know any advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

[@theresahv]

I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, but settled with 'Julie Anne Hoover' her service is exemplary and she's a genius in portfolio diversification. I'd suggest you research her further on your browser, sure you'll find her basic info.

[@berkrix4312]

Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the economy is headed and strategies to beat inflation with when I hear back from Julie .

[@Curbalnk]

I like to have SCHD. 20% of each ROTH IRA Portfolio. Yield: 3.75%, 60% SPY 20% Various Income Funds, PFF, ILTB, TLT......What are more interesting buys to grow and safeguard cash of $300k for 6 years?

[@kansasmile]

I think you're better off with majority investment in S&P500 and uprising equities cos they always outperform. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on equities to acquire

[@colleen.odegaard]

When it comes to situations like this, it's ideal to engage in various options using an advisor, and I can attest to success of the basket approach seeing my portfolio grow from $350k to almost $1m in barely 3 years, by far my best financial milestone.

[@greekbarrios]

@colleen.odegaard Certainly! Can you recommend this professional you've consulted for their services? I struggle with identifying suitable equities and commodities for my portfolio.

[@colleen.odegaard]

I can't divulge much but "Monica Selena Park’’ is the advisor that oversees my portfolio. She's an extremely intelligent person, very thoughtful, cautious, and has an outstanding credentials, it's easy to find her on the web.

[@blaquopaque]

[@NormanGhali]

I'm reevaluating my portfolios in light of the reverting yield curve and increased market volatility, and the outlook is concerning. How should I reallocate funds in my $1 million portfolio to prepare for a possible economic downturn?

[@NicoleBarker-he2vp]

The inversion implies anticipated lower future growth, potentially resulting in decreased lending and invest-ment. Hence, finding the appropriate asset allocation and collaborating with an advisOr experienced in bear markets is imperative.

[@DanielPanuzi]

Accurate asset allocation is crucial, and some individuals use hedging strategies or allocate part of their portfOlio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay finan-cially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on invest-ments.

[@legacymedia8468]

Market behavior can be complex and unpredictable. Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach to whom you have used their services?

[@DanielPanuzi]

Connect with Christine Ann Podgorny my advisor, to customize your retirement plan based on your unique needs and risk tolerance. Find her online for more information.

[@legacymedia8468]

I searched for her name on the internet, found her page, and reached out via email to schedule a conversation. Thank you.

[@simonbad]

Market declines, soaring inflation, a significant increase in interest rates by the Fed, and rising Treasury yields all point to additional losses for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the present market turbulence? I'm still debating whether to sell my $125,000 ETF/Growth Stock portfolio.

[@Alejandracamacho357]

Concentrate on two main objectives. First, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks in order to limit losses and maximize gains. Second, get ready to benefit from market changes. I advise consulting a CFP or other professional for advice.

[@Patriciacraig599]

[@MoniqueBauwens]

my 401k growth has been stagnant since the 2019. I wouldn't mind consulting the advisor who guides you, I really want to grow my retirement fund since I could retire in 3 years.

[@Patriciacraig599]

The stock market is without a doubt the awkward teenager with the most extreme mood swings! I started out with a commentator named “Pamela Kay Regel”. Her honest approach gives me complete ownership and control over my position, and her rates are incredibly affordable given my ROI.

[@MoniqueBauwens]

Thanks, I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.

[@Donnald.]

We can't ignore the potential impact on portfolios. Bonds are often considered a safe haven, and if they crumble, investors like me might scramble. I’ve been investing for 11 yrs and my $1m portfolio has never been this depleted, how i do hedge this?

In fact, markets have incorrectly priced in such a pivot six times over the last two years, according to Deutsche Bank, which sounded cautious about this seventh time. Still showing us why pointers from market experts are essential

[@sheltonPston]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I needed a good boost to stay afloat, hence I engaged the services of a true market strategist to help rejuvenate my $700k portfolio and boost performance and returns by 40% in a little over four years.

[@McElvinn]

The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.

Nice video, thanks for the good information. The standard deviation is relative to the mean of the data, yet I don't see the mean.

[@bernardpaulsen825]

I have VTI, VOO, which are almost running head to head, and VGT. Then, from my earlier investing days, I still have FSPTX, TRBCX, and PRGFX. Frankly, all these funds have performed well over the past years, and comparing them throughout different time periods proves that diversification is important.

[@jessiquilla1]

Excellent structure and information in this video Brian, thank you, lots to think about! SCHD's high dividends and consistent returns seem to be a pretty good bet if I'm looking for a safe withdrawal rate of 3.5-4% and to match inflation (I'm looking for a "safer" 6% return basically). VGT's returns are appealing though! Since SCHD and VGT have so little overlap, could they be a good diversification play to cover US large cap vs buying say VTI or VOO?

Brian, I watch a lot of videos on investing. This was easily the most comprehensive one that considered a variety of important factors for considering and selecting ETFs, and it didn't take an hour to do so. In particular, this is the best presentation of the trade-off between risk and return. - - - It is my opinion that many (most?) investors jump onto the SCHD, VOO, or VGT band wagon because of the returns and don't even know that they will, at some time, endure a drawdown of 15%-35% in the value of their portfolio. I subscribed. Who are you? What is your investing background, education, experience? Who do you work for?

Basicamente, esses etfs tem propósitos diferentes dependendo do momento de vida do investidor. - Na fase de acumulação, etfs de crescimento como VGT são ideais pois eles buscam as melhores oportunidades de mercado. Eu particularmente não gosto de investir neste setor sozinho. Prefiro algo mais amplo como o VUG junto com o VGT. - Na fase de usufruto e aposentadoria, precisamos de etfs mais estáveis como o de renda fixa como o BND e os de dividendos como o SCHD, lidando contra a volatilidade do mercado no curto prazo. - Já o etf VOO é um etf neutro que investe nas 500 maiores empresas da bolsa de Nova Iorque sem se preocupar com um fator específico. Prefiro investir acompanhado de um etf mais amplo como o VT para me expor a todas as empresas do mundo de uma só vez.

[@elizabethbednar6338]

If you add the dividend payment to schd wouldn’t it beat voo in returns?

[@BusinessWithBrian]

@@elizabethbednar6338 Sadly, no it will not beat VOO. I cover that in the video, where I explicitly state that the dividends are reinvested to get the total return, and all expenses have been taken out. It truly comes down to looking at the total return to know how a stock or ETF compare to one another. If a person were to pocket the dividends and not reinvest them, then the total return would be substantially lower. There are a lot of people that have false hope that the dividend can be stacked on top of the total return, giving it an amazing return. But that would be a false narrative. It's (dividend) already been taken into account in the total return.

What is your thought on allocating a 50/50 split between SCHD and VGT? Could this approach broaden your overall sector diversity considering they only have a 1% overlap of securities? While also at the same time increasing your upside during bull markets, and lowering your risk while in bear markets? With this strategy is it possible to beat VOO and the overall market on a consistent basis?

[@BusinessWithBrian]

That is a fantastic question. I personally have about 50% of my portfolio in stocks and the rest in funds including what I'll call "other". But with your specific question if you were to just invest in those two, models for historical performance do show it outperforming VOO. But please know since I'm not a licensed financial advisor, I cannot provide advice. I can merely state the models that I've looked at and the results they've shown for historical performances. And given your knowledge and the way you asked the question, I believe you assume the past performance is not a guarantee for future performances. Once again, that is a fantastic question.

Correct, all of the dividends are assumed to be reinvested when looking at the total annualized return. It's a common misconception when some people think that the total return doesn't include the drip. If a person makes that mistake they're in for a world of hurt in 20 years. The total number I provided is based on SCHD being reinvested to provide the total return dollars. Clearly, if you were to take that money and not reinvest it your total growth would be substantially lower.

But, SCHD is a dividend ETF, with about 100 companies. Not an S&P 500 ETF. VOO has just over 500 companies, and VGT is tech-centered with just over 300 companies. And tech is doing well regardless.

Yes, it does include the dividends being reinvested. I made it a point to mention it twice in the video.

@@GeryTeague Sorry for any confusion, so let me be more specific. Tech is doing great this year, but the past couple years leading up have been very rough. Similar to what I was speaking to in the video with the standard deviation being high for tech companies, so when the market dips......tech companies dip even further. This is why all three ETF are somewhat close at the 3 year return, because tech has a higher drawdown in the difficult years. But over the long term, tech has clearly been doing the best because it has time to weather out the bad years with moments of stellar returns.
