These older videos aren't as popular but your content really had been high quality from the very start
So true! I wish I had found these earlier videos when I started investing a couple years ago, but now they are helping me gain clarity and fill gaps in my knowledge of the basics.
This channel is like an oasis in the desert 🐪 compared to all of these "buy buy buy! Or the world is ending sell sell sell!" Channels. Even knowing some things things you talk about this content is top notch.
This channel is fantastic
I agree, this channel deserves a million subscribers!!
you ar so sexy
Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Rozardner Mind Tricks Reality (do a search on google)? It is a good one off product for revealing the trick to get the mind of a millionaire minus the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my BF after many years got amazing results with it.
No other video has been this detailed yet simple to understand. Keep up the good work!
This is the best channel on TH-cam, really appreciate your content.
Absolutely love this channel.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’ve been contemplating stocks. Afraid to go into them becauseI feel that I don’t know enough. Reading books and this channel is extremely stealth wealth information. Thank you so much for taking the time in creating these videos. Learning so much on your channel, Thank you!!
Nice work, thanks!
I’m studying accounting as my degree, but I enjoy learning about the stock market and financial derivatives. I’ve thought about trying for the CFA in the future. Your vids are super helpful and I quite enjoy it
i love this channel and this was my first comment on youtube since it was created and it was for you! keep it up brother.
I never knew about the weighting methods. Thank you for teaching me something new. Good to know as all my investments are index funds.
This mini series about investing is great! Every video you learned something new!!

Fantastic video! Thank you! Nonetheless one thing I do not understand. What is a Class A, C, D, H, L... index fund? What do they mean at the same fund, which one to pick? I am looking forward to your reply :)
Another awesome video as always Richard! Thanks
Awesome thanks for this education
eye opening
I'm adding this to my playlist about the building blocks of finance
Hello would you like to share the playlist
You're awesome. Just saying
one thing I like about Vanguard is that their active funds charge 25 basis points and many of their index funds are less than 5 basis points and their expensive index fund are less than 15 basis points
What's really impressive is how he throws the plate with the bagel the same way at the beginning of every videos.
It takes a lot of practice
Great channel, I wish you taught this in my town
Newbie here.
Do indices( specifically the S&P500, Dow, Nasdaq) also take into account dividends or is it just capital appreciation?
Excellent!
Richard, please add a tag for "What are Index Funds/ETFs" in video description. This video does not show up for a YT search for "What are index funds etfs?"
Good video! Can you do one on Traditional IRA vs Roth IRA (tax benefits, limitations, etc.)
Very good stuff. Just subscribed. Indices are taken for granted but they shouldn't. We are also exploring the topic on our channel
Do you have a video on how to review an Index fund/ETF tracking error and why this is important
Great excitement
Great job.
Whhich is the most diversified index? Nasdaq, SNP500, Rusell 2000? Please help!!! I need to know this
eres la neta tio!
Hi, my question is that where is the money going when we invest in an Index Fund...???
How about the total market index fund?
ADDthroughmusic a total market fund has small, medium and large caps stock, so it’s intended to reflect all types of companies in the specified market
Someone said there was a bad decade in indexes starting in the seventies. Would hedge fnds have been better then?
At 6:23, the total return rate is wrong, it should be +.36 (I did some calculation and -.39% is what I got when I mistakenly used Cap 1 Column as the share ratio, LOL)
This dude pretty much looks exactly like what I think a guy talking to me about good investments would look like.
If there are only about 4000 stocks in the USA? Why can you track them all?
The Wilshire 5000 Index
It should be noted that most of the market capitalization is captured in an index like the S&P 500, so there shouldn't be much of a change if that's the benchmark vs the Wilshire 5,000.
So if the S&P 500 is an index not an ETF? Then when I buy S&P500 at 3000$ what am I actually buying?
The S&P 500 is indeed an index. You don't buy the S&P 500 outright, you buy an ETF (or a mutual fund) that mimicks the chosen index (ie it holds all the companies in the index, usually cap-weighted). Such ETFs are VOO, SPY and IVV, all S&P500 ETFs that trade in USD.
@The Plain Bagel
What is your take on Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX or VTSAX) vs. Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund?
Hypothetically speaking, if a "know-nothing" investor would to start today, which index fund is sensible?
I recommend doing your own research, because it’s your money and you should know the choices that you make and why you make them.
A total stock market index fund is more diversified, and that may be beneficial. It is noteworthy that the total stock market funds you’ve named are still only US stock market index funds and do not expose you to foreign markets. An ETF tracking something like the MSCI World index or the MSCI All Cap World Index also includes stocks from foreign developed markets (and foreign emerging markets in case of the latter).
I invest in an ETF that tracks the MSCI World index, for instance. Other people may make other choices.
3:09 do they have a becky etf
why cant you make an index of every single stock on the market to indicate the whole market?
who pays the people who maintains and manages the indices?
Dow Jones has always seemed...underwhelming to me. 30 stocks doesn't seem like near enough, no matter how it's sliced. Similaryly, I've never understood why a total US market index isn't the most popular over the S&P 500.
I agree if you ever find a reason why people dont prefer a total us market index over the s&p 500
@@guywithglasses5309 I think it's just because it's "simpler" and has a catchy name. Plus S&P is incentivized to have as many people use it as possible so they can charge for its use in index funds, etc. I really do think media and other places should use the Total US Market as the standard, however, and not even worry about the Dow or Nasdaq.
I am trying to learn as much of this stuff as I can with all this crazy nonsense going on in the world of stocks, bonds, etf's, mutual funds, inflation. Geez things are NUTS RN.
I learned that the stock market was a rich man's game (yes, grandparents lost it all back then and preached that forever) but I've been around long enough to really taste how great it can be. To be profitable, with inflation at 6.1% These are surely desperate times, but in my opinion, there is no market condition that a good financial advisor cannot navigate, especially those that have existed since the crisis of 2008 and before.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to make this switch for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about. I'll appreciate any recommendation.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS she is whom i work with look her up..
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I leave her a message.
If you had over $100,000 in cash, do you think that an idex fund would be a good way to profit with this current market decline? I'm thinking that some of these indexes might be more responsive to price on a market recovery .... more so, perhaps, than buying a great company that hasn't been hit too hard by the crash. Do you have any thoughts on this, or can you recommend any indexes that would probably be more responsive to the movement of the market as a whole?
S & P 500 would be a good start. My advice: don't buy just one company, buy 500. You might get a smaller return but at least it will be safer. I recommend you to learn about psychology when dealing with investing, too many factors can make you act irrational and lose all the money. Good Luck!
Agreed with the other commenter, but I would add that trying to time the market usually doesn’t work, and you should invest only with money that you can miss for the long term (>10 years). If you’re worried about getting in at one very bad moment, you could spread it out over 10-12 months, investing 10k each month, for instance (known as dollar cost averaging). Statistically, that loses out to investing the lump sum at once most of the time, but the difference is not enormous.
Over the long term, having at least part of your money in index funds is definitely a good idea. Some years, the stock market is up, and some years its down, but the overall trend is upwards.
the music really distracts from learning. softer or not at all would be best
If you could slow down your speech your channel would be perfect
Taking your time to research how indices work sounds a little like studying the human anatomy before choosing a doctor.
hah index funds in my country cost lowest at about 1.59%. thats indo for you
The interest rate is different that US
good video, annoying music:)
I find your channel to be too impartial. Loads of waffling but you never give firm advice or take a side in a debate. Have an opinion ffs, because some opinions out there are WRONG
