Be careful with ETF's, some are shorted heavily by Hedge Funds, just as much as Hedge's short AMC/APE/GME/etc. You can see it when, over the long term, they don't go up much.

I love ETFs. Find about 3 that are really good that you like. Buy them and keep buying them over and over and over, adding more and more shares as the years go by. Reinvest your dividends and stay the course. Practice that discipline and you will likely be very glad you did one day. The younger you are when you start, the better.

Thank You Brian for the information. But one critical point need to add is that majority of retirement accounts (like 401k, 403, 457) won’t allow customer to buy ETF and they have been forced to choose only index funds.

[@clos3530]

You wouldn’t want to buy ETFs in a retirement account due to the nature of retirement account being tax deferred. You want mutual funds due to the active management

@@clos3530 You can buy ETF's and stocks in an IRA so that's not why. I think it's because of the kickback your employer gets due to the index funds higher expense ratio. Either that or people (all of our employers) are dumb af and are pissing away our retirement.

I’ve been investing in ETF’s for a few years now. I have the majority in VTI which is a total index fund but I also have a small cap, mid cap, emerging market and real estate ETF for diversity. At the moment they are down a little after the events of the last couple of years but I’m confident they’ll come up again soon. Everything I’ve researched also says ETF is better than index funds

[@NJ-500]

How much do you have in ETFs

[@ericwilde4583]

The 85% of funds managers underperforming the index provided is for any single year. More impressively and importantly is to look at that figure over 5, 10, and 20 years, where it increases to 90, 97, and 99%. That makes for a more than compelling case for index investing, and how very rare the likes of Peter Lynch truly are.

I think you meant to compare mutual funds and ETFs. You can have an Index Mutual Fund and an Index ETF as well as actively managed versions of each. That was one of the best comparisons I've seen of Mutual Funds vs ETFs. I personally prefer ETFs as well. You also have other options that you do not have with Mutual Funds, like Stop Loss orders.

[@chestersidd1626]

I never knew that ETF is more tax efficient than Index Funds. I already have a bunch of Index Funds on my Roth IRA account. I was contemplating wether to invest in ETF or Index Funds on my taxable brokerage account. After watching this video and some of your videos on Index Funds and ETFs, I decided to go with a S&P 500 ETF on my Taxable brokerage account. That way I could sell cover call options in the future for more passive income.

[@briandadude]

ETFs are not necessarily more tax efficient at Vanguard. This is a common misconception

[@clos3530]

You shouldn’t be concerned with being tax efficient in a retirement account since all gains are tax deferred anyways. Mutual funds and etfs are the same in the sense that they are a basket of stocks however etfs are more passively managed meaning less capital gains. Mutual funds that you are buying that are index oriented towards the S&P is more active where the money managers are trying to achieve the best return possible. Within your taxable account if you are just getting started it’s best to buy A share mutual funds which pays the fee upfront but then you never pay a fee again. If you have a large amount to invest up front then you can look at etfs

[@ljrockstar69]

It is good to have some in mutual funds.

[@CarC369]

I really enjoy your videos, but in this case I have a quibble regarding terminology. I feel that in every instance of you saying the words "index fund" it would have been more proper for you to have used the term "mutual fund". After all, an ETF (Exchange Traded FUND) can also be based on stock indexes (SPY for the S&P 500, and QQQ for the Nasdaq 100 index, as two examples). The characteristics you ascribe to "Index Funds" in this video are true for mutual funds, but not for all Index funds (since some of them are ETFs).

Hey fella i love these videos and this channel. I am unsure how to evaluate liquidity and volume in ETFs. Most of the ones i find seem fairly low

[@ElonMuckX]

7:26 Be careful with some ETF's, they are HEAVILY shorted by Hedge Funds, like the stocks of AMC/APE/GME/LCID/SNAP/BUD/MARA/IDEX/RDHL/AI/RUM shorted (shorts borrowed on other shorts). This means that they can go up, but when they go down, their price falls faster then other shorted ETF's. Most of the shorted ones are small, low volume ETF's, but some bigger ones have significant shorts on them. TQQQ, SOXS, QQQ, IWM, KRE, VXX, SMH, XME, XRT, are well shorted this day in June 2023. SPY, XLF, SHY, XLE, XLP, XLU, EWJ, XLB, IEF, IJR, IVV, MCHI, are currently have few shorts, but that can change. I'm not saying you can't make money strategically buying them long (I have made money on some of them in swing trades). I've noticed that mostly low volume, low priced ETF's (and penny stocks) are heavily shorted. And this is why so few go up in long trends. My advice, find indicators that show you how much a stock is shorted. My indicator changes daily, sometimes significantly if a stock is reversed split (I've seen get pounded by shorts those days). Personally I swing trade higher priced stocks off of the IBD 50 and expensive tech stocks like PANW/AVGO/MPWR/NVDA/PAYC, and FAANG stocks. They are rarely shorted heavily.

I think people in the comments were confusing the indexing part versus the actively managed part of being either a mutual fund or an ETF. Here, he's comparing the non-managed indexed versions. Also, I've never seen an ETF in an employer's retirement plan, and they always discouraged "day trading" (places I worked) when people would try to play the market by switching funds frequently within their 401k's (even though it would take a couple days). Only until I was able to transfer that money out of there into a brokerage IRA account was I able to trade ETF's.

The Index Funds option really turned me off after knowing that you are taxed for simply just participating in that investment. ETFs sounds like a no brainer. I’m assuming it’s just Index Funds may have better companies packed together to invest in?

No ETFs have the same things in it that index funds do. ETFs are an evolved version of an index funds, they came out 20 years after index funds.

Index and etf typically invest in same market. ie an S&P 500 the both invest in all 500 of the same companies

[@briandadude]

ETFs have bid-ask spreads and purchases cannot be easily automated. Those are cons but not mentioned. Always do your own research

Can you please make a video about the financial options that the wealthy use for their own money. For example, I don't believe that the wealthy would use a CD for any money past $100,000. Since they don't use CDs what do they use index funds for this amount of money? What's the next level after a money market account? There's bound to be financial instruments that we've never heard of.

Capital 1 CD that paid 5% interest, there are dividends that can pay past 12%. 12% is golden, that's for every $1000 you put in, you get $10/month.
