ETFs, Explained - What Are Exchange Traded Funds? What ETFs Should You Buy?

[@stephandden]

Do you invest in ETFs? Which ones? Let us know! 👀

[@BenjaminChartier-q2w]

I love the simplicity of your videos, ETFs are great to take the market with minimal fees. Excellent example showing the 500k fees over 30 years but I calculate more 1.5m@8% vs 1m@6%.

[@stephandden]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@financialresuscitationwith1409]

Great video! I hold both VOO and VFV in my RRSP because of witholding tax on my US dividends. Would love if you could do a video on witholding tax. I also do the Norbert's Gambitt to avoid conversion fees.

[@raghavbhasin3724]

You will still pay the witholding tax for VFV even in your RRSP as it is indirectly investing in the US market

[@majom741]

You guys are the best. I’ve been watching your videos, so easy to follow and understand. Making life easier for people that want to grow their money. Keep it up guys. Great job 👏🏼

[@stephandden]

Thank you so much! We appreciate it - more to come 😊

[@ahmedqneibi6502]

Great video and full of valuable information, i learned something new

[@InsuringUrFuture]

As an insurance agent we work to create long-term growth with IUL's to aggressively or conservatively invest across the S&P but your interest is earned tax deferred

[@AfroSenpai]

great breakdown family

[@stephandden]

Thank you! 🙏🏿🙌🏻

[@HouseOfBurgz]

Thank you for the video. Time in the market will always beat timing the market. Passively managed ETFs is a fantastic way to capture the growth of stocks that’s diversified for you at a very reasonable small fee compared to a managed fund. Numbers! 🍊

[@stephandden]

Agreed! Also, it was so nice meeting you last week 😊 Thanks again for saying what’s up! 🙌🏿🙌🏻

[@HouseOfBurgz]

@@stephandden Thank you so much. I was really nervous to approach you guys lol. It was kind of surreal. Thank you for taking the time to briefly talk. All the best moving forward and may both of our investment journey brings us closer to our monetary goals! ❤️🍊

Great video, but I think people should consider avoiding bonds. In the US they have been as risky as stocks, with poor recovery. I think dividend-paying value stocks, or some other income-producing. Maybe that will change but it served me well during the 2022 dip. Covered calls, and dividend payers held value and produced income. Bonds didn't

[@Investingcoachw]

Love this breakdown!

[@stephandden]

Thank you! 😊

[@LMQC]

Do you guys have Stock Lending turned on or off for your TFSA holding XEQT within your WS Trade account?

[@stephandden]

We have it turned off!

[@hazzard]

Thanks for the video. Can you make a video on which is better TFSA or RRSP on the withdrawal phase? I know the difference of both and people usually say if you have a high income concentrate on RRSP. What I don’t get is why would you do that if your earnings will get taxed? Due to compounding interest, your usual portfolio when going into retirement will mostly come from the interest you’ve earned vs the capital you’ve put in. Wouldn’t it almost always make sense to max out TFSA regardless of income? You’d get automatically get taxed 15% on anything over (iirc) $15k on RRIF or RRSP. And it’s taxable income. I don’t know how to structure the math.

@@Krish._b-kb tangerine and then choose your 3 that you use. Unlike no fee credit cards so it doesn't incentives increased spending

[@luigisilvestri2675]

Do you think it’s a good idea to invest in ETFs even if we are in debt ? Or should my wife and I focus on paying off the debt first ?

[@endbone]

I want to start invest I was wondering if I need a social security number

[@stephandden]

To open a bank account, or investment account specifically, you typically do need a SIN or SSN in order to do so!

[@Porcelynnn]

I had VOO, VOOG, VT, VTI, VGT, and MGV… I am planning to sell some because the holdings are similar… 😅

[@stephandden]

That's great that you'v recognized that there's some fund overlap! 👏🏿👏🏻

[@joshuahankins2613]

Live in Canada only invest in US ETFs. Why invest in Canada a country in major decline and predicted to be under performing for the next 40 years.

[@johnleeyingzhang3504]

Same here. Live in canada as well and only invest in us etfs and convert all my canadian dollars to us dollars. Haha

[@RainMan52]

Best Canadian product after the TFSA

Ads time probably more than the video time .......Dislike

[@stephandden]

We don’t control what ads are included in the video, however you should be able to skip most of them if you don’t want to watch and support the channel 😊

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

Excellent Video. All the Cool Young Kids use ETFs
