I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or whenever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

This is really good stuff, but I wonder if since there's so much invested in index funds following large companies such as the ones in the S&P 500, won't those companies end up being over-valued, since so much stock in those companies is automatically from the index funds?

Another great video! Thanks Two Cents!

[@favioescalon528]

Is not a question about ETFs really but Stash and Acorns offer ETFs and Robinhood offers stock trading too sooo can you guys make a video about those investing apps? Are they actually any good? Do people see "average" returns? Lol great video by the way!

[@anguievides8728]

How and where do you go to invest in all this though?

I recently got a job in asset management, your videos are a real life saver! Thanks you two!

[@faithlesshound5621]

Now that's a worrying thing to hear.

So would it make sense to put the majority of savings in an index fund since the return is 7.4% annually vs high yield savings account that max out around 2.5% APY which is a little higher than the rate of inflation right now?

I enjoyed the video when I first saw it. Then I researched SP500. Then I kept on researching on how to buy indexed funds in my country (Spain) and how they affect taxes. And a few moths later, today I have just invested my first few euros and set monthly savings into motion! It wasn’t easy as different countries have different laws, firms and costs, but I made my dream of investing come true thanks to you guys!! You are the best!❤️

I love so much how easy you make these things! Love from Italy

[@vvak9705]

Can you also talk about dca or dollar cost average. Is it better than timing the market?

*for the majority of investors, an etf or index fund is the best choice. On average 9-10% per year.*
