I’d love to learn more about 401k investing for example I have a Vanguard account and I just put everything into a target fund. We also have the option to do a Roth 401k so learning about the difference between a Roth and traditional 401k..and when to choose your investments vs put it all to target funds would be awesome. Love you and your videos!

@@julia-cellar7784 Agree. The company that acquired ours offers Roth 401k and After-Tax 401k in addition to the Pre-Tax 401k option we already had (100% target date fund; although I just adjusted to a later target date based on comfort with increased volatility that'll ensue for a bit). It'd be helpful to understand more about them and the differences.

I did lots of backtesting and found that 20% SCHD/DGRO, 20% VGT/QQQ/SCHG 20% VOO and 40% bonds or 4%+ money market matches the growth of SP500 in up years but reduces the losses in down years by 40-60%.

I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back. most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

I started at age 42 with about $18,800 which is now worth about $1.2M at age 50. Would be happy to share how, and it was definitely not index funds (pablum advice for the masses), but by partnering with a financial advisor. I've been with mine for the past 8 years and have seen why esteemed investors highly seek their expertise.

These are very valuable info. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the knowledge embedded in it. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I've got $200k set aside to put in the market.

Yeah, brokerage AdvisoRs could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of investors raking in 6 to 7 digits in a space of months. So, I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and the least I returned was $140k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

Great video - but also in passive investing - you also want to have diversity and keep everything under one umbrella. This is what I do.

Remember passive investing is investing in the best funds and then sitting back and enjoying the benefits, without having to do the calculations for each broker. It takes me about 2 minutes to check on my investments.

When you buy it, you don't have "money," but you have "shares" and those shares will grow and decline depending on the market. But as long as they are invested they do the work.

Exchange trade fund. Means you can trade them anytime market is open vs index funds more patient to sell. Dave Ramsey is actually fan of etf also. Only thing he doesn't like about etf is people are tempted to not hold long term because etf is easier to sell. Also some etf that you can choose that is riskier than index funds. Example etf that holds some small cap stocks. As far as I know of way more etf out there than index funds or at least it seems that way.

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

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.

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.

My life changed too when I started doing this and putting money in stocks. The first few years it as really great, but this year I haven't felt like my portfolio is doing well. I have lost more than $40,000 from my portfolio the past four months, and it's now very worrisome.

Hello 👋👋 I have better Passive income than Index. I have Agricultural land on Rent+ My house 1St portion on Rent 😊 I take the Passive income Amount and invest in true money 💰 called Gold Bullions 😊 I don't Enjoy Index funds or Stock Market 😕 I Enjoy Real Estate Rental properties 😊 or physical Gold Bullions 😊 long term investment 😊 Also in My country buying Cars is excellent 👍 investment. Because Cars are very Expensive. So if New Car goes up, used Cars prices go up as well. Our Economy depends on the Exchange rate of USD currency 💲
