Great video Humphrey. I have FXAIX and Schd in my portfolio. One for the SP. One for the DJ. And yes you can go to Paris without speaking the language just fine. Wife and I have went in back to back years. Feb of 22 and Feb 23. You will find that just about everyone speaks English. At the shops, restaurants, touristy spots, and on and on. We speak Zero French. Had zero problems the first year which is why went the following year and will continue to visit Paris. Love love Paris! And thanks for the content!

There is also a typo at vanguard at 1:54, Paris is overrated after 3 days, the countryside in France is much better.

Investing in index funds offers a structured and diversified approach to building wealth, managed by professional fund managers. While there are costs and some limitations, the benefits of diversification, professional management, and ease of access make mutual funds a popular choice for achieving a variety of financial goals.

[@StacieBMui]

If you’re new to investing or have a more complex financial situation, It can be helpful to work with a financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance and help you make informed investment decisions.

[@cowell621]

On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $150k since then

[@StocksWolf752]

Would you mind telling me how to contact this specific coach using their service? You seem to have the solution, as opposed to the rest of us.

[@cowell621]

Sharon Lee Peoples is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@grego6278]

She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

[@ChristopherAbelman]

Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

[@beafoster747]

The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner

[@FinnBraylon]

the best market strategy is to work with a credible investing coach. Since a while ago, I've been in touch with a coach, mostly because I lack the depth of understanding and mental toughness to deal with the ongoing market conditions. You lack the information necessary to succeed in a competitive market, not because you're doing anything wrong, but rather because of your lack of experience.

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

[@valeriepierre9778]

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.

[@bernisejedeon5888]

The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.

[@me0101001000]

When I was an undergrad, one of my professors told us "Unless you plan on becoming a trader as your career AND have access to a hedge fund's research tools, you're best off DCAing into index funds and maybe ETFs." Then, he told us to take the time we would spend on staring at charts, and instead learn three things to mastery. One thing that's useful, one thing that's interesting, and one thing that's just plain fun. Served me pretty well so far.

Hi Humphrey, thank you for the great information! I’m a late bloomer and just started a few years ago, but am catching up quickly. I’m now in my mid 50s and hoping to retire in 10 years. Does that mean I should not be entirely in index funds?

[@sup4528]

Not Humphry here.. but personally I would recommend putting 10-20% of your portfolio into riskier investments such as smaller stocks that haven't been around as long. Do your research and figure out what you think might be one of the next big companies. You could be looking at a 10x on the right one. Just look at Google for example, I have a friend who invested before it was a billion-dollar company and made millions within a few years. I'm not a financial advisor but personally I'm interested in where solar and electric vehicle companies will go. Especially with a lot of countries proposing they will be only producing electric vehicles within the next 10-15 years. Another safe bet could be silver because it is an essential component in solar panels. Obviously don't just listen to a random person in the KZbin comments but I hope this helped.

While I understand that this may not be as impressive as what others achieve, I'm still grateful for the significant improvement in my financial situation during a bear market.

Exactly how long did it take you to understand that ? Because I have been doing everything I can to profit from this bear market for the last seven months, after watching a lot of trading vidoes and reading a lot of strategies and technical analysis books and still have nothing to show for it, am slowly leaning towards the idea that am incredibly unlucky in trading, plus I should be retiring in a few months, so any advice would be good, and yes, I've tried getting a CFA as well, but it's hard to find one that really understands the full gamut of the different sections, I am very open minded and if I can't have it all then there is no point If you know what I mean.

I was able to diversify my portfolio into Real estate Crowdfunding, basically Reits, Stocks and The Crypto market. It took me Just over a year and i had to rethink my strategies, which took a while, but I finally had the answer and it was uphill from there. my CFA has been great to be honest. It’s been all Him, I was only able to achieve this much with His management, although it took me a while to get to the CFA I'm under contract with right now.

It’s hard to get good advice on diversification. I still dont have a solution yet, I've lost over £63k so If you can hook me up with your CFA, that would be nice, I really need a diversification option right now and I'd appreciate the help. The best option, plus little more information, like how much to start with and all. It would be great if you could help with that.

I see what you're saying, so I'll give you some sauce, I recommend Robert Carlos Wright, his general market knowledge and assets management skill are truly first class, if you do your research you'll know for yourself that the old man's work ethic is off the charts, I've never seen anyone so dedicated, so I'm pretty sure it would help you get back on the winning part. As for your capital, that depends on you, but going with at least 25k USD will be a good start.

That's good information, it wouldn't hurt to throw in 10,000 and see the result.
