i am adding a variety of ETF to my present holdings for the long term, i believe Q1 2025 is the time to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows considering the inflation resurgence , I think it's a good time to look on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to take some short term profit.
Before investing in any ETF, it's important to conduct thorough research. Understand the fund's objectives, track record, expense ratio, and the index it aims to replicate. Goodluck on your plan
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since 2023 January. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
Adding JEPI and JEPQ are smart additions in my opinion. As for staying committed to higher-risk investments, it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals.
I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, following some random trends but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2023 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000
Interesting. I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. When I was starting out, I checked out a couple of freelance investors online, so you could do the same. I personally work with “Teresa L. Athas”, and she's is widely recognized for her proficiency and expertise in the financial market. With a comprehensive knowledge of portfolio diversification, she is acknowledged as an authority in this field.
I appreciate this. After curiously searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get outlining my objectives.
Thank YOU so much for the incredibly kind comment, Dereck; it really means a lot! So glad you found our content and are enjoying it! Let me know if there is ever a stock or investment topic you're interested in learning more about. Thanks again! -Bridget
No. I own that one and it has been disappointing. I’ve only owned it a few months, but in that same time I have also owned QQQM and that one has been great.
Most people think, investing in crypto is all about buying coins and leaving it to rise, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader.
Trading without professional guide...Huh I laugh you, because you will remain where you are or even make huge losses that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders
@@MaryBenjamin-f9n You're right! I have lost a lot trading all by myself without a guide. It's been an uneasy ride for me. Who is your mentor please. how can i reach her i really need help in this bear market now?
I’m 61 years old and carrying $98,000 in debt, $45,000 in credit cards, $20,000 on a car loan, $18,000 in personal loans, $15,000 from a failed business venture. I’m seeking guidance should I tackle high-interest debts first or smaller balances for momentum? How can I negotiate with creditors to ease the burden?
I also optimized my retirement accounts, rolling over old 401(k)s into an IRA, diversified across asset classes and and use low cost index fund. Now I'm exploring dividend paying stock for income
You look like you know what you are doing. Please l'm plan on retiring next year with $800K. Any advice on how to implement your strategies to maximize it on retirement ?
I can certainly vouch for him on that.he can streamline your investment based on your personal future goals and the uniqueness of your financial situation, such that both your current and future financial goals are put in view and adequately provisioned for.
I've always been fascinated by investing, but when I tried stock investing early this year, it hasn't been as successful as I expected. However, I keep seeing good news about the stock market. What are the best strategies for less risk and more gains?
Never understood why people are reluctant to buy digital assets, You're getting paid to be invested in the market, It's similar to owning a rental property, You get paid (rent) to own it while the value of the asset appreciates (hopefully)..Passive income is king
Dividend assets are like owning a piece of land: You hold the asset, Collect income while you wait, Asset value might grow.Why not enjoy the fruits while the tree grows?
Chris and Bridget, excellent commentary and thank you for the video. Liked that 3 ETFs in the video covered a wide variety of industries. A request, if you could curate a video regarding ETF that pay weekly dividends and the pros and cons of it. While I know you guys are not tax experts, but let's say if one were to invest in a weekly dividend but really doesn't need the payouts yet and would rather the payouts be setup as DRIP (not sure if it is possible for the weekly dividend ETFs), how that would be one way to circumvent any taxable event, since the dividend is being re-invested instead of being distributed. Thanks in advance and best wishes as always.
Is it the analyst being wrong or me? The free cash flow is NOT after paying dividends. Free Cash Flow is operating cash flow - capex but exclude the dividends. Dividends payment will then come out of FCF, which whatever left is added to last years cash reserve to become the Retained Earnings.
Thanks for posting! Looking for advice: My crypto wallet on OKX holds some TRX 20 USDT, and I have the seedphrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. Could you suggest how can I proceed with moving them to Upbit?
If you like ETF's, the only one of these three worth investing in is the SOXX. The other two are not worth investing in. Now, a better way to invest is study the ETF you like most and pick the top stocks in that ETF and buy them. The rest of thre stocks in the ETF are what weigh it down. ETF's have too many stocks that don't do well and are held up by a few top stocks in the ETF. I m not a fan of them but if you must the only one you want is the SOXX.
I've held 9k $NVDA shares since 2016 at around $2 each. All the recent events make me want to re-distribute my portfolio. Looking to also add other A.I stocks for growth with my gains. Any suggestions that would complete the existing positions?
Yes! I'm so thankful I get to take some of those skills to MarketBeat, a global brand that is also a great local business headquartered in Sioux Falls. It has been fun learning the world of finance and TH-cam through this new career. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’ve been feeling uneasy about my investments lately. Every time the market dips, I panic and make decisions I regret later. Managing a portfolio during market downturns feels impossible.
Same here! It’s so tough to know when to hold on and when to make changes. I’ve read that staying diversified helps, but I still worry about losing everything. Do you think it’s better to ride it out or shift strategies?
My $185k portfolio includes covered call ETFs and growth ETFs like SCHD, DVY, SVOL, FE, and JEQ. I would like to clean up my portfolio a bit, and change my investment strategy by placing a heavier emphasis on dividends. Am I on the right track?
Investing long-term in ETFs and high-dividend stocks is a straightforward way to build generational wealth. Notably, over 80% of billionaires are stock investors, expanding their billion-dollar portfolios. The rich do what the poor fear!
SRUUF is too risky. It's too new to have a track record. More importantly, its liquidity is also a concern. URA might be a better option, but nuclear energy is still far off. At least, URA would give you decent dividends while you wait.
Hi everyone! I'm new to Bitcoin trading and have watched numerous videos and tried various strategies, but I haven't had any success. Can anyone recommend a reliable expert who can trade on my behalf and help me earn profits?

You seem to know much, How did you go about it and can you recommend an advisr like yours?
Best pick a growth ETF- the vast majority of fund managers can’t beat the SP500 index funds.

Yes, I second that!
SCHD ! The best ETF !
uh no
@@weho_brian why not?
lol no
No. I own that one and it has been disappointing. I’ve only owned it a few months, but in that same time I have also owned QQQM and that one has been great.
VOO, SPY, FMDE, and XLK are some of the best historically and currently! 💪🏽
Interesting! Thanks for mentioning these ETFs as some of us only know SPY and QQQ lol
You’re welcome. There are a lot to choose from.
Do not forget VOO lol. Great ETF's though mentioned regardless and yes this was different! Most recommend those usually.
@@BillCagneyVOO is a great one for sure lol. We’ve mentioned it before on the channel.
I deliberately avoided it to give investors other options.
just stick with SPY or QQQ, no need to be a hero. If you keep rotating in and out of ETFs, you will end up paying more capital gains tax
VOO is your best bet with a 0.03% expense ratio. All ETFs are similar in performance. Go with a smaller expense one with the same return.
Interesting! Thanks for mentioning these ETFs

All solid picks… I’m going 33% jepq 33%spyi and 33% qqqi
Hello, I want to start investing, but I'm unsure where to start. Do you have any advice or contacts for assistance?
Trading in Bitcoin now is the wisest thing to do now especially beginner....

Honestly I really need help learning to trade. Seeing my portfolio low makes me very sad.

Thanks for AI ETF advice. I was wanting to have AI ETF in my Portfolio but wasn't sure which one to have.
Is it the analyst being wrong or me? The free cash flow is NOT after paying dividends. Free Cash Flow is operating cash flow - capex but exclude the dividends. Dividends payment will then come out of FCF, which whatever left is added to last years cash reserve to become the Retained Earnings.
JEPI and JEPQ by JP Morgan monthly payment and some capital gains forgot the rest.

Given the poor performance of BND, what do you think of VMFXX instead as the “bond” portion of a 60/40 portfolio since it never “broke the buck”?

I like SMH a whole lot better than SOXX. Better returns and the same management fees.
Pretty mid picks with the exception of SOXX( even though SOXQ is better). If you want some bangers MAGS, SPMO, and QTUM.
How about SOXQ? as an alternative to SOXX
You guys/gals should give people the whole picture and mention the "expense ratios" for these ...VERY HIGH.

What do you think of Bitcoin ETFs?? Smash or pass??
Bitcoin is speculative business doesn't produce dividends you make money when other suckers pay more than you do

Just stick with qqq or sp500.
agree, no need to be a hero. the problem is when you try to rotate in and out of these hot sectors you end up paying more capital gains taxes
@@weho_briannot if you hold them in trad or Roth IRA
Folks consider Yieldmax ETFs.
Exactly and Defiance and Roundhill ETFs
SOXX...sucks lolz 🤔🤔🤔
Why not SMH?
Its been either down or flat for the last 6 months.
Probably just cuz it has a higher weighting in NVDA. But year over year it's beaten SOXX
S1
SOXQ. Loading up
staying away from anything Global X. 😠; SOXQ over SOXX.
This man ETFs. Agreed
A few I’m not with in the fund Schd fund no Pfizer not at all
Don’t listen to this advice in my opinion
ARK Artificial Intelligence & Robotics UCITS ETF USD Accumulating
