It’s daunting if you ask me, I put in a fair amount over a year ago but I’m barely breaking even

That is incredible Emilio . Thanks for sharing. I love that you drive that car with that net worth. Clearly you have cracked the code (: And your holdings are rock solid. It's nice being financially free! Soooo much better than a new car every couple years.

Hi, If one is in their 40s and just started investing (have 401k from work). Should they just focus on growth etf since it will be too late for them to see real benefits with dividends?

Way to go, that portfolio is impressive! I bet you’ll smash your dividends from last year with SCHD going crazy in quarter 2 this year (: DRGO is a nice addition for dividend grower. Not that you need me to tell you that (: You’re waaaaay down the path already.

I wouldn't say early 40's is 'too late' for anything related to investing. If you have at least 20 years left to put money into the market then I think growth is a nice way to lean. I would still have a balance of the two. I think value/dividends is good to have at any age in any market (with at least a portion of the portfolio). Getting help from a CFA that puts the time in to research companies thoroughly and implement effective risk management strategies even if you are a DIY investor, can bring tremendous benefits. This approach has worked well for me!

Thank you @sahinsenocak6626 for watching the video and for your feedback. In this video, I focussed on ETFs with Net Assets over $1B. Last time I checked, there was none (Yieldmax ETF) with this threshold. Please let me know if I missed any. Thank you again.

Calculating the portfolio size needed is very relevant. - How else do you know how much to contribute?

By calculating how much additional income the contributions produce and estimating how that income rises. the capital value will fluctuate up and down over time so the amount of income new additions give you varies. so capital value being high with a market yielding 2% is no worse for retirement than the same portfolio at a different timepoints where the capital value is half and so the yield is 4%. so long as the yield is sustainable in real terms the capital value being half does not matter. its the same income stream at a different moment of low market sentiment vs high market sentiment.

When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health (AMD) alongside coins, and gold. I'm also working on an investment plan with my Fin. Advisor that includes AI looking into Nvidia, MSFT, Alphabet stocks among others. I've been utilizing a financial advisor for more than 15 months, and I've made over $800,000.

@@joshbarney114 I appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress. Being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?

@geraldhenry7510, I was about to say the same thing. Love the list, but BIZD is a no just off that ridiculous 11% expense ratio.

BIZD has has an expense ratio of 0.42%. See VanEck's BIZD homepage and the explanation about *AFFEs.*

Thank you @geraldhenry7510, @DoxRap, @TotallyRegWhatelse for watching the video and for providing your feedback. You are right @TotallyRegWhatelse. According to BIZD homepage (www.vaneck.com/us/en/bizd-acquired-fund-fees-expenses.pdf), Net Expense Ratio is 11.17%, out of which 0.42% is Direct Expense, 10.75% is Indirect Expense.

Hello @sabrina7455 , thank you for subscribing, I hope you find this channel useful. I do not have a video of my portfolios yet, but in one of the previous video, I mentioned some of the stocks that I own. The video link is th-cam.com/video/Q-zbh5Ptfkk/w-d-xo.html

I also spoke about my Canadian Western Bank stock in this video th-cam.com/video/QrKEdPtN9_g/w-d-xo.html, a Grocery stock in th-cam.com/video/h4_G1XaAO48/w-d-xo.html, a REIT in th-cam.com/video/Z2p_Hsaq5S4/w-d-xo.html, and so on.

Thank you @fnbstrader1026 for your positive feedback and for bringing this to our attention. If anybody has any updates on this, please share. I will also try to find out more.

Hello @fnbstrader1026 . According to ICICI Direct's website they still offer Global investment services for six global markets: US, UK, Germany, Japan, Singapore & Hong Kong. Here is the link www.icicidirect.com/global-investment-services/video/invest-in-international-share-markets-with-icici-direct-global/4 Even their FAQs section supports that they offer Global investment services, see the link www.icicidirect.com/faqs/global-investment

@@thinkandretire Hi Thanks, it appears that ICICI direct is not offering this service. I spoke with my personal advisor and he didn't say yes or no to my question just that you can check the ICICI recommended ETF and the US ones were not there. I will go with some other broker who can offer me the service.

@fnbstrader1026 Thank you for sharing your findings. I wish you well. Happy Investing.

@@thinkandretire Interestingly I also received an email from Kotak regarding my query on "Kotak Securities Global Investment account". They advised that 'Only for resident individuals. NRIs not eligible.'

Thank you @sunilrodrigo9778 . Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

I am very glad to hear. Thank you @padma2023 for your support.

You are absolutely right @donyaschuk6538 . Thank you for your feedback, I highly appreciate it. Also thank you for watching the video and your support. In this video, I focussed on ETFs that have net assets of over $1B and are not short or leveraged. Please feel free to add more as you see fit. We can all learn from each other. Thank you.

Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.

Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?

My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.

Thank you Dan (@danielgraziano5806 ) for watching the video and providing your feedback. I am glad to hear that you liked it.

Dear @DrugandTravel: Thanks for reaching out. I assume you meant "Penny" stocks. Unfortunately, I do not trade or invest in Penny stocks.

Thank you @fakharabbasofficial7493 for your feedback. Highly appreciated.

Thank you @donnae1994 for your feedback.

Glad to hear that @adityachatterjee7230

Hello @Lokesheditsz ; I do not do Instagram anymore. Thanks.

Hello @lifeunleashed , as everybody's financial situation is different and everybody has different investment objectives and risk tolerance levels, I do not provide any specific buy and sell recommendations. However, as you have asked, I wouldn't mind owing JNJ around $140 for a long-term investment, unless the market conditions & the company fundamentals change. Again, this is not an investment advice, and please do your own research before investing.

Thanks @donyaschuk6538 for your kind words.
