Thank you. I have 5 ETF'S and 20 dividend stocks in my portfolio.

[@leehughes9619]

Which ETFs do you have, Scott?

[@scottnorris2411]

@@leehughes9619 I just started investing in stocks so I'm winging it. I have Vanguard ETF's. VTI, VYM, VNQI, VXUS, VIG. I only have 2 shares of each ETF for now and 20 shares each of my 20 dividend stocks. I still want to buy SDY Etf. I plan on adding to all my stocks and ETF's the rest of this year. I will hopefully have 20 each of the ETF's and 50 of each of the dividend stocks by the end of the year. Then in 2021, I'll start buying different stocks. I'll be buying these for the next 9 years then retire from my career at 60 years old.

Thanks, Jimmy. I think for the majority of people, consistently investing in ETFs regardless of market conditions (and never selling) is the way to go. I do stocks, but I dedicate a decent amount of time/energy into it because I find it fun.

Here’s a man with a good stock portfolio.

[@user-ms3es1wn2u]

What are the benefits of ETFs ? How do they make you money ?

[@Dr.Dumpnpump]

@@user-ms3es1wn2u ETFs are a basket of stocks that you pay a fee for someone to manage for you (buy/sell). Buying individual stocks save you management fees and give you more control over that basket but it takes time and work to manage yourself. If you want to maximize and control your portfolio stocks are the way, but is higher risk if you don't do the work or research. I won't invest in ETFs because I feel the basket is highly overvalued right now.

[@nicholasswenson3440]

​@@user-ms3es1wn2u Hmm Actually there's no particular sector i focus on, I have my funds well diversified by using trade signals from an analyst Tracy Britt Cool Finance she is a US registered CFA so you might have heard about or seen in the CNBC news and tbh it's been a huge relief. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part. Her stock picks are top notch, My aggressive portfolio returned almost $270k in Q4.. I can tell you she's quite the genius in trading and portfolio diversification. Do a little research on her

So let's say you have ETF and 15 individual stocks. How you allocate 2000 usd for example monthly to this? Do you add let's say 40% to stocks that's like 800 usd over 15 stocks or how

[@ResourceTalks]

Stocks AND ETFs. Stocks for the companies that your analysis is completely ON POINT for and ETFs for the sectors that you want to dip your toes in first. That's how I started out and 'till this day I still go with an ETF first, before my analysis on the sector is complete and before I've found the best performing company in that given sector.

I have a brokerage for ETFs and one for actively picked stocks. I'll probably lean towards actively picked stocks because I want to learn to be a better investor, but I'm keeping both.

[@LearntoInvest]

Smart! 👍🙂

[@alexschwed3446]

For a beginning investor this is amazing advice thank you!

[@msms-rl6zf]

Seeing as this is partially about beginners, I think another few criteria could be helpful. I would add "Simplicity", 'Understandability" and "Sleep Well At Night - SWAN". I know enough to know that I don't know enough to risk it all on something I really don't want to do for myself because so many are already much better at it than I will ever be and it doesn't thrill me to do it. So for me I guess that would favor ETFs and I can go work on my garden and forget about working up to an ulcer worrying about my next or last mistake. The School of Hard Knocks has a painful degree program. Keep up your good work I enjoy your videos.

[@jackcarraway4707]

Even with their flaws, ETFs are the way to go for the average person. They do the diversification for you, you don't have to do nearly as much research as compared to individual companies and the slow nature of them makes it easier to "invest and forget".

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Totally love your videos, and I understand your and Buffett's GENERAL admonition that the overwhelming majority of people would be wiser to just pick an index fund/etf (instead of trying to pick stocks). However, in these rare times when lots of EXCELLENT stocks are getting hammered...well, Jim Cramer seems to make a lot more sense when he says why buy all the losers in an index fund when you can just pick the winners?! I haven't seen anything in your videos that addresses that. (Unless you think Microsoft or Disney or Apple or Berkshire won't just assume their normal valuation when the world returns to normal).

How would you think about buying the S&P500 ETF (VOO) right now compared to Tech Sector ETF (VGT) right now in this market crash?

[@LearntoInvest]

VGT is a good one as well, VOO was just a hypothetical example

[@StickJockeyFPV]

@@LearntoInvest Typically VGT drops further in a downturn and rebounds stronger. So far that has not been the case so I am not sure which I should be investing in. I could think that VOO would be at a greater discount or I could think VGT has shown it will be stronger. I'm thinking 40 year time frame buy and hold. What are your thoughts? Thanks as always and I am not asking for financial advice just your opinions.

[@emayhand]

FTEC is my largest position. I firmly believe we are still in the midst of a technological revolution and technology will lead the way for years to come. Yes the sector has fallen hard but I took this fall as an opportunity to add to my position. FTEC returnees 43% last year vs 26% for the S&P. I also follow the satellite approach and own 7 or 8 individual stocks like MSFT, TSLA, V, FB, PAYC to name a few.

[@dh2266]

This is not financial advice but there's no way the government will let Boeing fail. It's Airbus vs Boeing; England vs America. The 747 is Air Force One and I'm fairly certain that as the law is currently written, Airbus can never be the Presidential plane.

[@rhueoflandorin]

when i was in my economics class, we played around with a "stock simulator"...our semester project was to build portfolios. We had a certain amount of money to start with and we could buy/sell whatever...whenever. The "variance" was values taken from some 50-year section of the stock market history and used to simulate a real stock market. I used both ETFs and individual growth and value stocks to outcompete the entire class. the only person who beat my portfolio was someone who got STUPID-lucky and put all his money in a single stock that HAPPENED to do something like 30x the first four weeks of the project. I came in second.

The s&p 500 is actually composed of 508 stocks. This is because some companies have 2 classes of stock (Berkshire and google for example). Voo is only comprised of these 508 companies. Vti is the total us stock market index. Basically if you trade on the stock market vti owns part of your company (however small).

[@mrphunky]

Hi , I'm Jimmy.

[@vinhdao7582]

I am thinking to buy some UCO tomorrow ? , is it good move ?

[@pappabear8291]

10K investment in an ETF like VOO makes out ~6K in 5 years (10% return and compound interest). So now a stock to beat this has to go up in value by approx. 75% in the same duration of time, which is about 5 years. Do not forget, that there is no compound interest in stocks and when you sell it, reduce 20% in tax (means also a loss of this tax money, which could be working hard for you if invested in compound interest like ETF). So bottom line for me, if I can sell a stock for twice as much in about 5 years, risk worth taking, otherwise, continue with ETF's. Plz correct me if I am wrong.

[@ramzib.1092]

Hi Jimmy. I totally agree with you. I have a portfolio of over 70 of my favorite stocks that I have been holding for years and I'm beating the S&P500 quite easily. But I would like to add two points to why stocks are better than ETFs (for experienced investors). You mentioned that ETFs are mixed bags of winners and losers, which is undoubtedly true. The first issue I would add is allocations. When you buy an ETF you have no choice of how much each individual company constitutes of your portfolio. You're stuck with however the ETF weighs them. I would rather have a decision on proportions (i.e. my position of MSFT is 6 times bigger than my position of FB but I'm more convinced of its business model). My second issue is the entry point. ETFs give you much less flexibility on timing, unless the entire market dips... Which is the second aspect of being a mixed bag: of those at their peaks and those at their bottoms (i.e. I'm bullish on the S&P500 for next year, but I'm not sure right now is a good entry point for TSLA) Thanks for the video.

[@1972jojodancer]

I agree with you...individual stock would prove to yield more gain with the factors of time+research+quantity+diversified selection. Truly a novice at considering this topic as well as challenging the benefits of ESPP because if you are your own boss, the employee thing is irrelevant. And while I have participated in ESPP's, I never truly depended on it because the transition of the 'workforce' is changing....I personally can not see myself working for any one company more than 7-10years. Anyways a continuum of study is needed for Stocks, ETF's, DSPP, DRIP, special gifts etc.... I see an ETF as a neutral investment because the good and ok are mixed. It would be a fluke if one particular ETF outperformed long term. Or, I may be still unlearned about the possibilities...?!

[@samone5618]

which better High dividend EFT and individual stocks that you will pick as "Satellite stocks" that also pay good dividends?

[@Quentin-Martin]

Thanks Jimmy great explanation like always. You always show how to investigate a company and do research. I have the same approach towards ETF's and I find this quite difficult. How do you properly value an ETF like you would for example with Apple? To me ETF's still look like a product and it is easier to understand and value a company than an ETF. What are the real risks with ETFs?

[@farisdanish467]
