The Best ETF Investing Guide You’ll Ever Watch!

[@Lowery999]

I reinvest my ETFs dividends 100% and will do so for years.

[@Nanalyze]

Love to hear it! The snowball effect in action.

[@melii-h3r]

I am so big on stocks and it has worked well for me, but I also like to have a well balanced, low-cost set of ETFs that keeps the money in my pocket. How can I maintain an effective ETFs approach returns on the long run?

[@Lowery999]

I live off dividends on ETFs, for sure it can improve your wealth if you reinvest them to buy more, creating a snowball effect that allows you compound over time.

[@shaquaan]

Have you considered the possibility of cashing out some of those dividends for paying off your monthly expenses, instead of re-investing them? Bcos I need a lot as rent, inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make.

[@Lowery999]

tbh I keep compounding, adhering to well established patterns from a professional, even as a rookie, can bring tremendous value! I’ve trimmed, added also and now my average growth has increased in the past year while participating behind a top performer. I put in 35k years back, now effectively remits over hundred k annually and increasing.

[@williamfoster7920]

How do you feel about SPYI and QQQI.....? Thanks for your input.

[@Nanalyze]

As you can imagine analyzing any given ETF takes some time. We need to go examine the underlying index to understand the mechanics, and that takes research resources. To have anything of value to offer up we would need to do that work and we're happy to for paying subscribers who raise such questions on our Discord server ;) Joe P.

[@neocyber7692]

Amen Joe--I'm sick and tired of hearing "whoa, vanguard *believes in* XYZ, look at all the buying activity!!!!"

[@Nanalyze]

We covered that in an entire video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4ixh6iQbdycrrs

[@LegaliseFinland]

I never realised an ETF inside an ETF includes two management fees. Thanks for the video.

[@Nanalyze]

Yeah so you'll need to check and see with the provider if they've waived fees for the underlying but that's not always the case. In fact, I don't believe it's standard practice. Always assume it isn't and then check. It's not so obvious information to find. Joe P.

[@dangerbuoy]

Thanks for this video. Vanguard’s target date retirement funds seem like a good way to go for Roth IRAs but I wish there was a similar style fund that combatted ESG scores (like Strive). Roughly speaking, do you think it’d be wise to continue investing in both-say Roth IRA contributions to the Vanguard retirement and leftover money to a Strive fund? Or is there a smarter investing strategy that emphasizes an ethical mission to move past ESG while still being safe and effective for retirement?

[@Nanalyze]

You're most welcome. Yep, we covered Strive before and their mission is spot on. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5qyqZmejLCIo6c) Hopefully ESG is dying a slow death because investors of all kinds are realizing it was a mess to begin with. It's probably just easier - for right now - to just focus on low fees then set it and forget it. Vanguard is a leader in low cost so you can't go wrong there.

[@Future_Fortunes_DE]

I would love to Invest long term in a dividend ETF greater china/ far east ex Japan, like the SCHD, with low fees. A lot of Chinese companies pay a lot of dividends and I believe the market will eventually recover. Any recommendations? Could this be a video?

[@Nanalyze]

So Chinese companies weren't really into dividends but the government started pressuring them to start having more lenient dividend policies. Really it's a matter of talking about investing in China first which is its own animal. (We have a number of videos on this topic.) We don't know of any Chinese dividend champions so that's as far as we looked when putting together our international champions report. This is an obscure niche but an interesting one given my own interests in China. Not sure this would make a good video (probably just not enough interest) but it's on my radar now. Joe P.

Still subscribed to you even with our disagreement, I still enjoy your content brother

[@Nanalyze]

That is great to hear man! When two people can agree to disagree, shake on it, and get back to life it's encouraging for us all. On the Internet it's easier to hold grudges than in real life where it's very easy just to move on with things. I can't recall whatever disagreement we had but it has long been forgotten. Thank you for the kind words and the best to you always! :) Joe P.

Does Robinhood charge any ETF fees?

[@Nanalyze]

We don't use brokers that push the riskiest products to their clients so we wouldn't know the answer to your question :)

[@makeitcold6649]

Hey Joe! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Wisdom Tree’s QGRW. I like the quality metrics but stress if the expense ratio will allow it to outperform SCHG/XLK/QQQM over the next 20+ years

[@Nanalyze]

Looks like "large and mid US growth" for 0.28%. That seems way too high. VUG gives you "large US growth" for 0.04%. Poke around a bit and you can probably find something with equivalent exposure for less fees :)

[@makeitcold6649]

@@Nanalyzeso you don’t think the screening metrics for profitability and growth are worth the expense ratio? Are there other ETFs that filter for similar metrics that are cheaper or is it not worth it and cheapest is best in your opinion?

[@Nanalyze]

@@makeitcold6649 According to research by experts, cheapest is always best. Expect active ETFs to be replaced by cheap smart beta strategies.

[@Nanalyze]

Oh boy. Just look at the chart on that thing. ;) That's not something we'd ever want to get involved with tbh. Anything we cover needs to have a sizable amount of AUM so we can be sure there's sufficient interest in the topic. Joe P.

[@Antipodeano]

Cheers, I am a newbie to ETFs, I had been avoiding them. I was just picking my own stocks. But as I build my portfolio out, I am starting to consider them. Your video was very helpful. Thank You!

[@Nanalyze]

That is great to hear. You absolutely should consider ETFs to supplement your overall portfolio of assets.

[@christopherbennett6481]

I'm looking for a 3-fund portfolio to invest my savings that could pay 3 grand a month in dividends, and be somewhat stable.

[@Nanalyze]

Well the stability part should be covered, at least when compared to a benchmark, because you have fixed income and international equities providing asset class diversification. As for your 3 grand a month target, be wary of chasing yield. If you're following a three-fund approach that won't happen though, provided you stick with the strategy. What you might do is sub out the US stocks ETF with perhaps an SCHD for growing income. We use a Quantigence portfolio ;)

[@vv-cv6ud]

What about thematic etf ?

[@Nanalyze]

Good question. They're generally active, though some have more rigid methodologies for asset selection (GICS for example). They almost always have high expense ratios. We analyze lots of them and they probably need to be taken on a case-by-case basis.

[@WealthyChronicle]

ETF investing feels like it’s full of traps! 😅 Low fees are the only thing I trust anymore. How do you guys pick the best ones?

[@iangantner6976]

I’m quite disappointed, Joe, that you backpedaled after letting the cat out of the bag. Anyone who follows the most important investing gurus on KZbin is anecdotally aware that rocket ships and diamond hand emojis truly are the ultimate catalyst, especially when applied to stocks that will clearly be “the next NVDA.” Now we have clear and concise evidence to that end. I believe I am now thoroughly equipped to set my latest AI algorithm loose on the market. With those criteria alone, I should be able to buy a Lambo and start a new channel within a few weeks when my 0 DTE strategy moons. Thanks for all the help. I’ll apologize in advance for not following you in the future, but I see a rock and roll life style in my future and generational wealth accumulation that needs to be squandered. I’m wasting time. Gotta get to the car and speed boat dealers. Can anyone with experience in these matters tell me if the unnaturally shapely ladies in bikinis come with the boat or if you have to procure their presence through alternative means?

[@Nanalyze]

This is a completely underrated comment. You have an AI trading algorithm? Which 25-year-old guru did you buy it from because I'm having a hard time deciding which one to buy mine from. There are so many and they all create alpha so easily. There's never been an easier time to become rich. Also it's okay to just say you have a lambo a bit early. This is an effective tool to use when attacking those who criticize your new 0 DTE money printing machine. So speaking from experience, the "unnaturally shapely" ladies in bikinis arrive *shortly after* your expensive goods do. But please be careful. If you lose your wealth - which will never happen because this has never happened in the history of the fintwat space - the "unatural shapes" move in the opposite direction. Due south. Thank you for the comment, and wen lambo #2? Joe P.
