Thank you for recommending Sarah Jennine Davis on one of your videos. I reached out to her and investing with her has been amazing I paid off my $529k 2.125% 15 years loan in 8 months. Now totally debt free with 2 paid off rentals. Love having no debt for the last 5 months. Thank you SARAH JENNINE DAVIS

I have a mix of index. All Fidelity. FXAIX - S&P 500 FSKAX - Total market FSELX - Semiconductor FSFGX - Large cap

[@BrokeAgain]

Semi is up way too much, correction prolly will happen soon.

[@brianh9014]

wonder how much overlap you have?

[@brianh9014]

I own the Fid contra. Had been outperforming, lots of big tec.

[@joshuawilliams6800]

You don't need both FXAIX and FSKAK. They're basically the same thing.

If you have total market everything you have is redundant, with the exception of your NASDAQ.

[@YaYousef5]

After investing in my 401k and maxing out my Roth IRA every year, I've been putting all my extra money in VTI for 12 years now. Compounding interest is starting to kick in hard and let me tell you, it's beautiful.

[@lilblackduc7312]

Albert Einstein said = "Compound Interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it...He who doesn't, pays it".

[@brianh9014]

Good job!

[@Mc.flyyy11]

VOO or VTI for life. Also like SCHD (40%), DGRO (40%), QQQM (10%), FTEC (10%) and just call it a day. DCA into it over 30 years

[@jbenson989]

SCHB, exact same stocks, fraction of the price

[@Adelina-293]

VTI, VXUS and SCHD here.

[@thetapheonix]

I like those all except QQQM, I’ve had that and it’s only up 3%, SCHD has annihilated it in my portfolio. Up 3% for a growth fund isn’t going to cut it.

[@constitutionallyconscious165]

VTSAX is better because it has a lower cost ratio

[@andreyshulgin5984]

simple path to wealth: SCHD/SCHG 50/50, with overlap by weight only 1%

Try QQQM, lower expense ratio.

[@ThomGarson]

Love SCHD

[@MichaelOrtega]

Thank you Brian, for the valuable information you provide. You go above and beyond and I appreciate that you do these type of videos alongside your reports.

It's my pleasure and thank you for all the support Michael! Happy Friday!

[@johnboy6594]

Such integrity. Ya gotta love Brian..

[@DiscoverLivingInMexico]

VTI - it combines VOO and VXF, the best of both worlds. You get the S&P500 plus the extended stock market.

[@kristakranko]

I love my VTI!

[@DanielSuarez-zn8iw]

Same with SCHB. You get the S&P500, but also medium & small sized caps. Best of both worlds, indeed.

I am going 30% in SPY, 33% in SCHD and 33% in QQQ. Rest 3-5% in cash to sell cash secured puts to generate income and buy high yield ETFs.

VOO, ScHD, and VGT for life.

same trifecta for me, lately though been adding schd the most.

[@Adelina-293]

I stick with VTI and some SCHD shares.

[@barbborstein7640]

I have a 3 fund portfolio but I have finally decided to invest in ETFs, alongside. I’m looking at SCHD, VOO, XLK or SCHG.

[@ms.scooterrider]

Awesome picks! I like XLK and SCHD equally!

[@barbborstein7640]

@@ms.scooterrider thank you! Actually would it be silly to have both?

[@philcrowley007]

VOO is great. SCHD is great. Either approach is fine over the long term. Most important thing is to get started and build your income over time to continue investing more as time goes on

[@ms.scooterrider]

Great advice here. Diversification is *Key* I invested 30-50% of my income, over the last 6 years, in equity index funds, ETFs and individual stocks, which allowed me to retire in my 40s! Current portfolio value is ~1.4M and growing.

[@danwhite2424]

I do SWPPX, SCHD, SCHG. Still meddling with the mix…

I just spent half a day yesterday researching index funds. Had your video come out earlier, I would have saved so much time. Thank you!!

[@levont.husser153]

Currently have 241 shares of VOO & 265 shares of FXIAX! Dollar cost average, set and forget. Add QQQM heavily, too.

[@jimv77]

Some advice: The more money I made from my investment the more I realize I wanted a simpler life and care less about money and stuff. My ownership in things somehow slowly took over and controlled my life. I know ... sounds crazy. Find a way to be comfortable, but trust me a lot of money won't make you a better or happier person. I too wish you well....

[@MidwestMoney]

I agree. Now all I desire is financial freedom aka not having to work a 9 to 5 anymore. 5 years to go!

Invested in VGT for the past 15 years. Outperformed practically every other low cost index fund.

Why does everyone state go for SP500 ETF? When Nasdaq has been bettee

[@theblackphantomhd]

I have VOO, VTI, and SMH. I might add an international and bond ETF as well just for diversification. My individual stocks are: -AMD (which I will sell at some point) -Microsoft -McDonald's -Coca-Cola

How about FNILX, The Fidelity Zero Large Cap Index? It tracks the S&P 500 but has 0% expense ratio.

[@theelvensong4328]

For the technology sector I have FTEC (Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF). Lower expense ratio and performs better than QQQ.

[@higiniomorales459]

SPLG (SPY) 34%, SCHG 33%, and Berkshire Hathaway 33%. It's a 3 holding portfolio of Blend, Growth, Value. A lot of people like to go with SCHD, DGRO, or VTV for their value ETF since they like dividends. I prefer share buy backs rather than dividends, no tax burden plus Berkshire is a value tank.

125% in ten years is NOT 12.5% per year! 12.5 per year is 224.73% in ten years. An annual return of 8.45% compounds to 125% in 10 years.

GLD (16%), IEF (26%), VGT (34%), VHT (13%), XLP (11%) beats the S&P 500 since 2004 according to Portfolio Visualizer with almost 1/2 of the drawdown. One can substitute SGOL for GLD, SCHR for IEF to lower the fees.

[@raybod1775]

Excellent presentation for the less skilled investors. My opinion is to choose wisely. Make the effort and figure out which individual stocks have the greatest potential for growth, not necessarily based on past performance. Also look at which stocks are heavily weighted in index funds. Many funds are heavily weighted in the best stocks. Don’t put in money that you may need within the next year because of potential market drops that we need to sometimes ride out. Don’t gamble!
