I swear I love to watch u. Aside from having experience, you are very real and trustworthy. I love TO LISten anything about investing, asset allocations and portfolio
Thank you for sharing. I really, really appreciate it. It's very interesting. We are binge-watching a lot of your videos in preparing for my husband to retire.
On the DSTL fund, I think “Stblty” would translate to “Stability.” I would never invest in that Vanguard bond fund, or that State Street bond fund. 1% or less average return in 10 years? That’s ridiculous! When rates are high buy a Municipal bond in your state. You’ll beat the crap out of those funds and it’s also federally and state tax free!
Ran across your videos in the last month or so. Enjoy the content for sure, thank you! Regarding your breakdown above, I found it somewhat interesting that you're not including your individual stocks in your balancing routine. Appears to be around 19% of your portfolio; and that's based on your Apple as of a year ago! Apple is an amazing company. Long term, it may be worth considering how these individual stocks tilt your portfolio.
Yea it seems OSU is always on the wrong end of those targeting calls. Bosa and Wade come to mind and those hits weren't even to the head. The hit on Marvin Harrison you could literally hear the helmet on helmet sound.
I finally got to reset my Direct Account today. It finally recognized my account. I can finally buy T-Bills in small $100 increments. That's best I can say about it because investment websites in the secondary market you have to buy in a minimum of $1000. That sort of sucks and you're forced to buy bond funds in the Equity market. when you can only set a side so much on a limited budget.
Stable valuefund in 401K is currently paying less than 3% (from 2% at beginning of last year), while treasuries are paying 4.5% and corporate/muni's more. Thoughts on safety of stable value over loss of income with decent rates. It doesn't seem to be catching up very fast.
What do you think of stable value funds in 401K as retiree for bond allocation--right now stable value fund is lagging treasuries and muni and corporate bonds by quite a bit? I like the guaranteed positive rate. Or are transferring to IRA and buying treasuries/corporate bonds a better bet for long term? Have liked getting a positive return the past decade without risk.
My Vanguard brokerage accounts are approaching the $500,000 limit. What do I do to protect my brokerage account past the $500,000. Should I buy more SIPC Insurance? If so, where? Thank you for your expertise.
When people say “get out of stocks” with no context, it is quite disturbing to me. If you are still building wealth, that advice could be *extremely* harmful to long term wealth creation. You should be buying while the market is down, so getting out of stocks is bad advice. For those who are retired, the advice might be different, but it is better to have an allocation that matches your goals and risk profile.
@Rob Berger I've been lurking for a few months now and I think your content is awesome. I also really like the links in your Sunday email. My question is - what are your thoughts on the dismal TIPs fund performance last year? I invested in SCHP in the June 2021 and it is down 16%!! My faith in this asset class has been destroyed...
I’ve heard that a big difference between IRA’s and 401L’s is that if there were to be a bankruptcy, creditors can go after IRS.s but not 40K’s. True of false: @Rob Berger
What other investment vehicles are there for your average investor that uses Fidelity in a market that I believe will be flat. Especially when he is two or three years away from retirement
Tons of advices on what to do/buy but I'm only just interested In steps and tips on how to make better profit, saw an article of an investors that made $450,000 in 2months and I'd really love to know how to make such profit or is that asking too much?
There are various strategies that could make you 6figures profit on a monthly basis, but you need to find out what strategies adequately corresponds with your investment portfolio which is why it is essential to get in touch with a portfolio manager or professional tutor for guidance, I got in touch with a broker in and so far through her guidance I've been able to generate a profit of $360,000 within 4months from a capital of $175,000.
I’m pretty agnostic when I comes to US vs. International. I’m 55/45 US/INT. I don’t see any reason to expect continued US outperformance. I also don’t see any reason to expect INT outperformance. I win either way.
I currently have international exposure at 40%. I am trying not to make any judgment about future returns and based it off of market cap weighting. That said low valuations in international stocks could mean higher expected returns moving forward.
I'm doing tje exact same think in my 401k. now allocating about 60% to international stocks. they are so low! things will get better and the upside will be huge. I got 20 years till retirement, so I think its a good long term move

I have pension that joint life payout is tied is tied 7520 interest rate, I was considering taking as lumpsum. However, now that interest rates increased, monthly payout has increased to about 8 % annual return. The amount is about 25% of total portfolio. At what annual return does a pension become reasonable, what percent of retirement income should be "guaranteed", ie ss, pension, annuity? When and what % do you think 7520 rate will peak in 23? I'm retired 64 yes old, parents still alive at 94- long livers.
@@rob_berger It kind of is one of the 2 questions on many people's mind. What was your overall return on your portfolio in 2022 and what is in your portfolio for 2023? Nice of you to show what you own for 2023. I think your 2022 return is even more important and how your portfolio changed or didn't change over the course of 2022. Really, you are not required to show it, you may have a good reason not to show, but it really is an issue because most of us lost a lot of money in 2022.
I am in my 40s looking for different avenues to invest I found my self a good broker referred by big sharks in stock market, she grew my portfolio from quarter a million to four million dollars in the first months of the year, if you are looking to diversify do it now you are never too old.

Hey Rob! Excellent video session and many thanks for showing us your portfolio but would you please also care to show us its performance against SP500 on 6m, 1Y, 3Y and 5Y basis? Thank you! I understand you probably changed it over the years a little but still :)
Off the topic, but the OSU kicker flat out choked. He had made a FG from 48 yards earlier in the game. This was 50. He had the leg and the distance. Pressure got to him. Felt for him, but that is how I see that ending.
So, my main man Rob getting into beef with Ben Felix (my other main man). This will be a fight for the ages... 🙂 To be fair to Ben, the analysis of the "luck" of the US market was supported by simulations that simply point out that it would be unusual (not impossible) for the NEXT 100+ years of US Market performance to be as "lucky". And it was for factors beyond war... ALL THAT SAID, I think the argument for diversification with international funds is more than that. As Eduardo Repetto shared recently on an Avantis study, it's also about series of return risk. A prolonged period of international market over-performance vs US market (it HAS happened before for almost 10 years even!) can throw a monkey wrench at any "static" withdrawal plans. Where US-only investors could be a bit overconfidence is in believing that can't happen.
You have the most overly complicated and messy portfolio I have ever seen 🤢 It must be a nightmare to rebalance that thing. Dude, all you really need is 1 to 3 funds, and I would avoid investing in individual stocks.
I for one would appreciate not talking about things other than finance. I imagine it decreases your viewership, as you’re marketing only to those that like your financial advice and want to talk about football or chess. I love your financial content! But I dislike trying to skip to what I care about. Just my two cents.
i think how he showed it is ok.i am sure he and his wife have accounts in several firms such as schwab, vanguard and fidelity among their holdings. showing them would be risky in getting some account info accidentally revealed. the allocations were there. one thing that would have been interesting to see is how the assets are distributed among hsa, tira, roths, 401ks and taxable in general percentages i.e 20% assets in 40k, 30% in taxable. 15% in roths etc....i know rob, give an inch and everybody wants a mile.
@@bartz4439 i guess so but it will be quite a busy presentation. just imagining if i showed my portfolio straight from a screen shot. i would have individual shots of each account with pertinent info blurred but apart from taxable brokerage there may be only 1 or 2 accts with large amounts in the retirement, hsa, roths accts etc...

Rob -- I think its about time you rewviewed your portfolio again and benchmark etc. Thanks!
