Excellent video. Mutual funds are excellent and three times larger but with ten times the expenses ratios as ETFs. The difference is active or passive management. I like SPY. The huge choice menu in asset categories can be overwhelming. 30% gains last year is why.

[@jdmulloy]

It's not the fact that they are ETFs that the have low ERs, it's that expensive loaded mutual funds aren't sold as ETFs because you can charge a 5.75% sales load on an ETF to pay a commission to a mutual fund salesman. There are plenty of index funds, which are really just a type of mutual fund that have low ERs and no load. Unfortunately Dave's "Smart" vestors are paid via commissions on loaded funds that are unlikely to beat equivalent index funds from Vangard or Fidelity. Also annoying that Dave always says that past performance predicts future returns, which is the opposite of the disclaimer on all these magical 12% a year mutual funds he talks about.

[@timw4369]

the only way to protect is to be smart about what you do with the money you have. You still need some risk though. Its never a no risk proposition to invest. That would only be saving and that has its downfalls too. Maybe 20 percent in low risk savings items then 40 percent in dividend stocks and 30 in some alternate mid risk investments and the last 10 in some longer shot investments. You cant be 100 percent protected unless you build a bunker and live in it underground. Which doesnt sound very fun to anyone.

Ramsey outlines the worst case scenario at 8:00 into the video. I always ask myself what's the worst case scenario, and what is the most likely scenario (based on history). The only reason this risk averse investor has $1.4M net worth, is because he never viewed his real estate as an investment. In hindsight, his real estate was his best performing investment (by far). Unfortunately, most younger folks won't have a pension in retirement. They'll need 401Ks/IRAs, index funds, plus real estate equity.

Very foolish for Dave to just outright dismiss Series I Bond, which are currently paying over 7% with minimal risk. Does Dave keep up with current financial events? He seems to be out of touch. Additionally, the caller's overall portfolio needs to pace inflation with taxes. While a portion should be in equities, a good chunks should be in debt investments. CDs are an all around poor choice right now but he should max out I Bond purchases ($20,000 per year for the the caller and his wife). A portion should be in a high yield savings account or money market, which are currently paying half a percent (which is offset by equity investment return). Dave needs to reevaluate his strategies to incorporate current economic conditions.
