Selling well know stocks that WILL Rebound while they're down 50% is a horrible idea. Dave would NEVER say that about Mutual Funds. Just keep the money where it is and invest in Index funds going forward. Alibaba and Netflix WILL rebound over time.

@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 mutual funds are very expensive in the long run but agreed. If you are saving to purchase something like a vehicle I would park it in an ETF for sure
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 not exactly, we are talking about ~2x return in few years vs 20-100x return in few years. But buying grow stock, without looking at risk of competitors and how much TAM is left, is stupid. P/E is most important, but for grow stocks is future P/E you betting, so "oh I like them, and many investing in them" is not good investing strategy. And one more thing, never invest in individual stocks when you are planing to use this money in few years, this is not place for them.
The problem is not that the caller invested in individual stocks. The problem is that he invested in individual stocks with money that he should not have invested. The money he needed to buy the van should have never been put in stocks in the first place.
Absolutely. Dave is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Mutual funds are down too, but he is telling people not to sell them bc you don't lose until you sell.
Warren Buffett also said you don't realize losses on stocks until you still them. So if they are ok companies, he should just wait and not pull the IRA funds out with a tax penalty. Just stop funding the IRA and save separately for the car.
@@Corn_Pops_Rusty_Razor yeah I was going to say the same thing. he tells ppl not to sell the index funds but sell individual stocks at a loss? so stupid... losing respect for dave which sucks b/c he seems otherwise the voice of reason...
What happened to the advice "no one gets hurt on a roller coaster unless you get off in the middle of the ride?" The loss is only on paper. Wouldn't it be more prudent to wait for it to come back up before cashing out?
Agreed, experts know when to be fearful when everyone else is greedy and vice versa. I used to handle investing myself but faced losses in 2020, thus consulted an advisor at once and as of today, I'm about 10% shy of a million dollar after subsequent investments.
Why sell and not just hold on and build up more cash to replace vehicles and then invest in index funds? I can’t see why you would just willingly put the nail in the coffin on a portfolio by selling it when it’s down 50%
This is BY FAR some of the worst advice Dave has ever given! Until the investor sells he didn’t lose a dime. So not only will he realize the huge loss but double down and put it into ‘THE’ biggest loser of investment aka a vehicle. Maybe Dave hates this caller and personally has a vendetta against him… then again Dave tells God what he does and doesn’t deserve at the start of every call…🤦♂️
@@MakerBees333 torn on this one. I do get what Dave is saying - if it was a bad decision then, it’s a bad decision now. Agree also that individual stocks are a loser’s game for most unless extremely disciplined, have a sizeable portfolio, and do not use margin at all. That said, man taking the loss fully seems extreme. You have to look at the stock. Is apple 🍏 never going higher than today’s close - doubtful. Funds too are getting torched - own plenty of voo, vym, schd, vti. Bad bad bad
Dave was into get rich quick activities . I invested in individual stocks years ago as low as $3 starting with companies like Exxon and Walmart in the 80s. Now I have over 30 stocks in my portfolios long term that are mostly oil/gas,REITs,tech,and Dividend Achievers. Prefer ETFS over mutual funds. Already have the cash for my next used car, home remodel,travel,etc. Cash for recessions and whatnot,large emergency fund,and zero debt.
Buy high, sell low. Not the brightest idea Dave. Hold future purchase on individual stock. Watch them carefully. Start investing in more diversified mutual funds or ETFs.
The mistake was not the stock. The mistake was riskimg dollars he needed for a car. This would have been a mistake had he bought real estate, 401ks or paid off his mortgage. You don't risk or sink dollars if you know that in the horizon a big expense is coming (replacing the roof, children, car replacements, etc)
Sometimes I think DAVE wants his listeners to do something really stupid (like sell stocks right now) just to punish them for making a decision outside his program. That they deserve to loose money because they didn't follow his advice. There are a lot of times I think Dave is spot on, then there are times like this when I think he's an idiot. No matter who you follow for financial advice never never "drink all the Kool-Aid".
I don't necessarily agree. I think Dave knows there are plenty of other ways to make money (single stocks included), but he tried to teach the highest probability for the AVERAGE person to become wealthy. There are countless individuals who do not do Dave's exact plan and are still wealthy. Just keep in mind thay his advice is always for the average person who is typically not great with money.
Dave is selling a program that he can not deviate from in anyway or else he invalidates it. That’s why he’s so ridged. In this case it’s very bad advice.

You just need more cash. Because now you could keep buying these dips of major companies that will be around when the dust clears. The only mistake he made was thinking he had enough dry powder to go individual stock fishing. But “sell it all at a low” is stupid advice.
This all just shows you how easy it is to win when you have a lot of money at your disposal. Can just keep buying the dips without any need to worry about quick returns as you are rich enough to have the patience to wait. For everyone else.....it requires a more disciplined approach.
Coming here 1 year later. FB went from 175 to 475. An index fund like S&P 500 returns are largely made up of a few big companies like FB. Hopefully this guy didnt cash out
I can't believe he is telling this guy to sell stocks right now! Those of us with mutual funds handled through excellent advisors are also getting our butts kicked right now but holding out for a hopeful recovery!
One of the best things I did was try to buy and sell single stocks with $500 just to see how good I was at it. I acted like it was $50000. I now only invest in mutual funds.
Suggesting him to sell his stock now is like telling him to jump off the rollercoaster which is terrible advice. The individual stocks he has are amazing companies that will regain value but it is impossible to know when they will regain their value.
The roller-coaster theory applies to a diversified portfolio that is more resistant to loss over the long term. He has his eggs all in one basket. He's better off moving that money into a better investment.
The individual stocks he has are on fire and those companies are going to be forgotten in a few years. The tech sector as a whole will certainly recover, but if he was trying to pick the winners he accidentally picked the losers.
Dave couple of episodes before this one: “You don’t lose until you sell.” Also Dave: “sell them now” Make it make sense please because everything is down smh
@@harrykam28 I am surprised. Dave says many times to hold thru the lows and the loss only happens if you sell. So I don't know what happened here. I hope they explain why they gave this advice to sell and get out.
Warren Buffet said Buy when everybody is selling. That is the time we are in now. Selling now is a bad advice in my opinion and have to disagree with Mr.Ramsey on this!
yup. in fact only a handful of my individual stocks aren't down... novo nordisk, tesla, merck and pfizer. everything else is down. I am starting to really lose respect for Dave. telling someone to sell a stock when it's down is crazy. he would never say that about a mutual fund. ridiculous.

@SavageInvestor I have the feeling he rid buy at the top, but how does this advice help him? I think he should sell them just because he doesn't understand business in general or the business of investing. He's about to lose his shirt for lack of understanding.
Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money or you could hire a financial expert.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. 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 a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
“Sharon Lee Peoples”’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

@@ctconstrictors5193 that’s subjective. That’s your guess, even if you may be right. In reality we don’t know. As a general principle, some bad investments are just better off sold just to keep your mind at peace

investing requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade, I have lost a lot trying to trade all by myself May I ask which investments are good??>>>>>>
I understand your concerns, my friend. I recommend exploring passive index fund investing and expanding your knowledge in this area. Personally, I experienced both successes and challenges when initially seeking a reliable passive income......,,.,.,.,.
Yuppp but you can tell the caller doesn't know anything about value investing so he should stick with Dave's advice or cheap index funds (S&P). No long term view and probably doesn't know nor researched much of the companies.
Ideally, it's not a great idea to have a bulk of your funds in single stocks. Even if you buy different individual stocks, you aren't really diversified. Index funds would have been better (less risk, but less volatility), especially for the situation the caller is in. Single stocks, ideally, should be a small part of your investments. Why? Cause when they fall, they REALLY fall. Also, Series I bonds should NEVER be considered an investment vehicle, but rather a (slightly less liquid) savings vehicle that offers some protection from inflation.
I respectively disagree Dave.He both high quality stock at a bad time and high valuation. His loss will be confirmed only if he sell. I recommend for him to actually be patient for a rebound before he sell, or buy even more to average down (Only because those are good companies and they have tremendous cash flow).
Sell them? What on earth is Dave saying, unless he has a large amount with Peloton, he should hold. He said he invested in companies like Netflix, why not hold and potentially make his money back and then some.
What’s wrong with buying individual stocks if you research and read about them on Value Line/Barrons etc… and you have a wide variety of stocks/ diversified portfolio? My family has done this for years and has done very well.
I bonds and individual stocks are not bad investments, but using investments as a savings account for money you may need within the next few months is a really dumb idea.
Meta? Sorry, Facebook already blows. Not sure what weird ideas Meta is going to try to implement but I'm not excited about any of them. Have fun with your speculating. 👍😉
Maybe I didn't hear everything. He has Series I Bonds? That's not a dumb investment. In fact, that's probably safest investment you can make right now.
I agree with Dave in that you don't use emergency fund money or savings to invest in stocks however.....if you have extra money and want a portfolio, then have at it. I have a 6 figure portfolio with stocks and ETF's and it's not a retirement portfolio. You don't have to be scared of stocks, just invest in what you know.
I'd just keep the stocks and save up for the car (stop investing for a while). He picked decent companies. Investing is definitely scary these days, but what if those companies rebound over the next couple years?
This is a bs answer. Mutual funds and index funds are all down up to 40%. Keep your money in the stocks and save seperately for your car. Don’t sell at a loss?!
I was thinking about selling my condo which is a rental. I was going to put $100,000 in one certain Stock. But I have a 401-k and some stocks are in Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P. I have lost some and gain some. I had for 24 years now, and I am so glad it has more gain than losses. I have friends that told me to put in Bitcoin or Disney and now they are out of those stocks. I am glad that you guys help make a decision owning one stock which I will not do.
Well said Rachel. Honda is on Fire right now! Their fuel efficiency if the brand new 2022 Super Cub is 188 mpg. The cars are some of the most fuel efficient on the road and have POWER to go with it.
There’s no need to do individual stocks or use margin. The goal is to not blow up your account long enough that compound interest starts having a significant effect. VOO and chill.
If your buying good cash flowing low debt companies with large moats and shareholder friendly who have good dividend growth rates it’s okay to buy single stocks. I only buy dividend stocks since I plan to retire early. Etfs like voo are nice but the dividend growth rate lags

My sisters boss’s BF (when she was in high school working at a daycare) tried to get all of them into the iraqi currency thing too. I thought stupid was concentrated in certain areas only
I disagree. You can might as well buy Birkshire Hathaway stocks, as it is about as diversified as a mutual fund. Brk have had an average of 13,66% over 40 yrs, about 20% more than the S&P500. There are a way better track record that any mutual fund
My dad was convinced the Iraq money would be revalued as well. And all of what they bought is still in a safe somewhere waiting for that to happen. They even "invested" in some for all us kids and I had to talk to my husband before we got married. It went something like "if this ever happens we will come into some money (but I doubt it will)."
Why would he say I Bonds are a dumb investment? The individual stocks...ok, yeah, maybe I can get behind that, but there's no universe in which I Bonds are a dumb investment, *unless* the investor cannot afford to wait out the one-year holding period. In any other possible scenario, though, I Bonds are a stellar investment right now.
Personally, I don’t agree with Dave telling this guy to sell these stocks at all. If anything he should be dollar cost averaging into those positions if he truly believes in the companies. However, he should not have been buying stocks with money he was trying to save for a car. The volatility is way to risky, especially for the short term.
With due all respect to Dave, i watched at least 50 videos of his and while i see some good advice and life experience in them, i came to conclusion that his strategy is an old guard strategy and the world is changing. I think his advices are great for older retiree people but not for the young.
What happened to "The only one who gets hurt on a roller coaster is those who jump off in the middle of it". I would keep the stocks, hold on to the cars and start saving like crazy to replace one of them.
I’m trying to plan for my retirement(I have none) and I understand that a recession is where many people make money, Someone I listened to on a podcast made a profit of $150k in less than a month. I'd appreciate any tips.
the only time I would sell when it's down is if I was planning on buying it back when it went even lower and get more shares you have to be careful though it doesn't start going back up so it's risky as most single stocks are but selling outright and not repurchasing is just accepting defeat and taking a loss and I think that's ridiculous if you don't need the money just hold it it will go back up eventually unless it's a company that's in trouble but it doesn't sound like he's picking ones that are risky
There’s nothing wrong with buying single stocks 😑 You should definitely diversify and also put a good chunk in the S&P. But single stocks are fine to invest it
Only buy individual stocks if you know what you're doing! The price you pay matters! It is not an index fund. You aee an owner of a business. Know what you are buying and for how much.
The only single stock that I purchase is through my ESPP where we get a 15% discount through my company. But that is supplemental. That is my boat and motorhome money for when I retire. I think Dave is wrong on this one. The caller needs to simply stop investing in single stocks but doesn't need to sell them. Just hold on and ride it out until it goes back up which they eventually will. But I think I agree with ditching the I-bonds. They aren't bad but there is no loss with those and you can use that money to pay down other debt.
Technically he didn't. Netflix and Facebook are in the S&P 500 and Alibaba isn't a bad company at all. The only reason it's affecting him is because he needs the money now. He needs to leave the stocks there until they recover (which is very likely considering the type of companies) and sell them when they have increased in value. After that he can change his strategy and invest in ETFs.
I think the bigger problem is that he has invested money that he needs to be liquid in the short term. Being poorly diversified is also an issue. It's all tech stocks, which is also an issue since they're correlated with each other. He's trying to do too much at once and not getting anywhere.
Alright, I bought the dinar thing. Sounded crazy at first but I did enough research to convince myself to put in $200. I'm so dumb I thought I was "diversifying" because my job offered a 401k.
Think it’s bad advice not to pick individual stocks. It’s worst advice to sell when they are down. If your money is in solid companies with little fundamental issues and the over all market is down then you should be buying more and aggressively (if you can)! Knowing historically the market will probably recover and beat its highs then I would not sell and if you can buy more on the cheap. Now I’m not suggesting to buy individual shit companies but you can’t tell me if Apple or Microsoft or Facebook is down 30 to 40 percent down with no fundamental issues and the overall market is just down that you should sell them now. Terrible idea Dave!
Selling well know stocks that WILL Rebound while they're down 50% is a horrible idea. Dave would NEVER say that about Mutual Funds. Just keep the money where it is and invest in Index funds going forward. Alibaba and Netflix WILL rebound over time.

The roller-coaster theory applies to a diversified portfolio that is more resistant to loss over the long term. He has his eggs all in one basket. He's better off moving that money into a better investment.
Only Ramsey preaches his way. If this guy had mutual funds and they were down would he preach he sell.
Sunk cost fallacy
The individual stocks he has are on fire and those companies are going to be forgotten in a few years. The tech sector as a whole will certainly recover, but if he was trying to pick the winners he accidentally picked the losers.
Dave couple of episodes before this one: “You don’t lose until you sell.”
Also Dave: “sell them now”
Make it make sense please because everything is down smh
Everything isn’t down oil is up, gas is up, and etc. you have to do hard research
He’s def Pushing a narrative
Dave is old . The right move would be to buy dip and average down On your losing stocks.
@@michaelbhim7585 agreed
😂😂😂
I don't understand why you are telling him to cash out when the stocks are low🤔
That’s the stupidest advice ever from Dave… you only lose when you sell. Right now is called a “dip” take advantage 😉
@@harrykam28 I am surprised. Dave says many times to hold thru the lows and the loss only happens if you sell. So I don't know what happened here. I hope they explain why they gave this advice to sell and get out.

yup. in fact only a handful of my individual stocks aren't down... novo nordisk, tesla, merck and pfizer. everything else is down. I am starting to really lose respect for Dave. telling someone to sell a stock when it's down is crazy. he would never say that about a mutual fund. ridiculous.

Exactly this guy probably bought Netflix at the top
@SavageInvestor I have the feeling he rid buy at the top, but how does this advice help him?
I think he should sell them just because he doesn't understand business in general or the business of investing. He's about to lose his shirt for lack of understanding.
Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money or you could hire a financial expert.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. 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 a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

Bitcoin is up over 150% since this video...good call dave.
In general Stocks go up in the long run. If you are a long term investor you will be fine.
Depends on the stock tho. This is why Dave and most investment experts emphasize diversification.
Dave advised the guy to sell at the absolute bottom for both Meta and Netflix. Two years later those stocks are up 190% and 260% respectively.
Yuppp but you can tell the caller doesn't know anything about value investing so he should stick with Dave's advice or cheap index funds (S&P). No long term view and probably doesn't know nor researched much of the companies.
@@LuiggiChampan yeah. If you don’t know why you’re in the stock in the first place you’ll lack conviction and sell during the first correction.
Well that Bitcoin take didn’t go over to well now 🤣
Or just buy more stock 😅
ETFs > Mutual funds.
@@thegreatgatsby9583 only in taxable account
@@thegreatgatsby9583 what about index fund?
Ideally, it's not a great idea to have a bulk of your funds in single stocks. Even if you buy different individual stocks, you aren't really diversified.
Index funds would have been better (less risk, but less volatility), especially for the situation the caller is in.
Single stocks, ideally, should be a small part of your investments. Why? Cause when they fall, they REALLY fall.
Also, Series I bonds should NEVER be considered an investment vehicle, but rather a (slightly less liquid) savings vehicle that offers some protection from inflation.
@@glowiever ETFs >Index funds >Mutural funds imo
He's always quoting Warren Buffet, but yet he doesn't believe in buying single stocks!?
I respectively disagree Dave.He both high quality stock at a bad time and high valuation. His loss will be confirmed only if he sell. I recommend for him to actually be patient for a rebound before he sell, or buy even more to average down (Only because those are good companies and they have tremendous cash flow).
Sell them? What on earth is Dave saying, unless he has a large amount with Peloton, he should hold. He said he invested in companies like Netflix, why not hold and potentially make his money back and then some.
That may be because at 6:15 caller asked if he should use emergency fund or sell stocks for buying car
What’s wrong with buying individual stocks if you research and read about them on Value Line/Barrons etc… and you have a wide variety of stocks/ diversified portfolio?
My family has done this for years and has done very well.
Hyperinflation is about to take a turn for the worse.
Dude dave is acting like his miracle mutual funds aren't down right now. Gimme a break.
Simple answer Cole.
Which strategy makes sense in the long-term?
Buying individual stocks is not a good long-term strategy.
I bonds and individual stocks are not bad investments, but using investments as a savings account for money you may need within the next few months is a really dumb idea.
I bonds are more of a quirk right now than anything. Historically they had low returns
Imagine owning a 10-year old Minivan in 2032 and looking at the price of Meta and Baba stock...
He's kicking himself for selling the Meta already, if he did.
Meta?
Sorry, Facebook already blows.
Not sure what weird ideas Meta is going to try to implement but I'm not excited about any of them.
Have fun with your speculating. 👍😉
Maybe I didn't hear everything. He has Series I Bonds? That's not a dumb investment. In fact, that's probably safest investment you can make right now.
I agree with Dave in that you don't use emergency fund money or savings to invest in stocks however.....if you have extra money and want a portfolio, then have at it. I have a 6 figure portfolio with stocks and ETF's and it's not a retirement portfolio. You don't have to be scared of stocks, just invest in what you know.
I'd just keep the stocks and save up for the car (stop investing for a while). He picked decent companies. Investing is definitely scary these days, but what if those companies rebound over the next couple years?
What if they don’t lol
I honestly don't see the problem with buying some blue chips, particularly if its in a company that an index fund you also have has invested in.
This is a bs answer. Mutual funds and index funds are all down up to 40%. Keep your money in the stocks and save seperately for your car. Don’t sell at a loss?!
What are you talking about? Most index funds are only down 20% YTD, which is basically the price back in Jan 2021.
Agreed
Sell?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW wonderful advice Dave
I was thinking about selling my condo which is a rental. I was going to put $100,000 in one certain Stock. But I have a 401-k and some stocks are in Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P. I have lost some and gain some. I had for 24 years now, and I am so glad it has more gain than losses. I have friends that told me to put in Bitcoin or Disney and now they are out of those stocks. I am glad that you guys help make a decision owning one stock which I will not do.
Well said Rachel. Honda is on Fire right now! Their fuel efficiency if the brand new 2022 Super Cub is 188 mpg. The cars are some of the most fuel efficient on the road and have POWER to go with it.
Hold your single stocks, do not sell low. If you believe in the company, buy more, it’s on sale.
Wrong. The nyse is owned by ICE.
Ice is the forever stock as they are the actual nyse stock exchange everything is listed on.
Dave is good at getting people out of debt with basic advice, but his investing advice is absolutely terrible.
I would diversify my stock even more lol
There’s no need to do individual stocks or use margin. The goal is to not blow up your account long enough that compound interest starts having a significant effect. VOO and chill.
Truu
If your buying good cash flowing low debt companies with large moats and shareholder friendly who have good dividend growth rates it’s okay to buy single stocks. I only buy dividend stocks since I plan to retire early. Etfs like voo are nice but the dividend growth rate lags
Why not buy stocks that are going to grow now and switch to dividend stocks when you retire?
@@superblump87 so I’m 30 and I want to achieve Fire by 37-38. I am buying mostly dividend (Growth) stocks. So a mix of income and growth. My VOO and VT position basically have all the growth stocks in them anyway

My sisters boss’s BF (when she was in high school working at a daycare) tried to get all of them into the iraqi currency thing too. I thought stupid was concentrated in certain areas only
I disagree. You can might as well buy Birkshire Hathaway stocks, as it is about as diversified as a mutual fund. Brk have had an average of 13,66% over 40 yrs, about 20% more than the S&P500. There are a way better track record that any mutual fund
My dad was convinced the Iraq money would be revalued as well. And all of what they bought is still in a safe somewhere waiting for that to happen. They even "invested" in some for all us kids and I had to talk to my husband before we got married. It went something like "if this ever happens we will come into some money (but I doubt it will)."
Why would he say I Bonds are a dumb investment? The individual stocks...ok, yeah, maybe I can get behind that, but there's no universe in which I Bonds are a dumb investment, *unless* the investor cannot afford to wait out the one-year holding period. In any other possible scenario, though, I Bonds are a stellar investment right now.
Low coupon rate when inflation will blow past that. Bonds are crazy dangerous right now- inverted yield curve.
@@stevenporter863 I Bonds are literally indexed to inflation. They always return the original principal on redemption
Personally, I don’t agree with Dave telling this guy to sell these stocks at all. If anything he should be dollar cost averaging into those positions if he truly believes in the companies. However, he should not have been buying stocks with money he was trying to save for a car. The volatility is way to risky, especially for the short term.
Just buy the right ones
160K? Not one of my Toyotas have less than 190K... A lot of oil changes!
Lexus is the only luxury brand that consistently pays for itself
agreed...that and i would rethink having a 3rd kid! LOL!
With due all respect to Dave, i watched at least 50 videos of his and while i see some good advice and life experience in them, i came to conclusion that his strategy is an old guard strategy and the world is changing.
I think his advices are great for older retiree people but not for the young.
What happened to "The only one who gets hurt on a roller coaster is those who jump off in the middle of it". I would keep the stocks, hold on to the cars and start saving like crazy to replace one of them.
I’m trying to plan for my retirement(I have none) and I understand that a recession is where many people make money, Someone I listened to on a podcast made a profit of $150k in less than a month. I'd appreciate any tips.
You may need to get some professional advice from an Investment planner if you need an aggressive return.
@Hillary You really do sound as though it's that easy.
Some individuals stocks are okay like JP Morgan and Stanley Morgan - Growth stocks. The majority should be in an Index fund for sure.
I buy only individual stocks to avoid the management fee. Saves thousands of $$$.
Put a stop loss on your single stocks once you're done buying shares. So many order types to avoid big loses.
He's right, far better to buy the index such as VGRO or VTI. DCA each month and forget about it. Individual stock purchases take way too much time.
It's so hard to simply DCA in VT.
the only time I would sell when it's down is if I was planning on buying it back when it went even lower and get more shares you have to be careful though it doesn't start going back up so it's risky as most single stocks are but selling outright and not repurchasing is just accepting defeat and taking a loss and I think that's ridiculous if you don't need the money just hold it it will go back up eventually unless it's a company that's in trouble but it doesn't sound like he's picking ones that are risky
Not only that, you get to show the loss at tax time...
There’s nothing wrong with buying single stocks 😑
You should definitely diversify and also put a good chunk in the S&P. But single stocks are fine to invest it
Here comes this video as I watch Amazon waiting for it to crash more so I can buy 😂😂. I just need to stick to my SP500 index fund.
Good thing this caller is following the total money makeover, lol
Lol the moment the caller said “but”
Do not sell the ibonds. They are making 9.5 percent.
Yep
2 years ago bitcoin was 19k, 61k today
Preach!
Do we sell stocks now, buy mutual funds today? Etfs? I mean mutual funds are down also, right?
Only buy individual stocks if you know what you're doing! The price you pay matters! It is not an index fund. You aee an owner of a business. Know what you are buying and for how much.
The only single stock that I purchase is through my ESPP where we get a 15% discount through my company. But that is supplemental. That is my boat and motorhome money for when I retire.
I think Dave is wrong on this one. The caller needs to simply stop investing in single stocks but doesn't need to sell them. Just hold on and ride it out until it goes back up which they eventually will. But I think I agree with ditching the I-bonds. They aren't bad but there is no loss with those and you can use that money to pay down other debt.
Your opinion on Tim Sykes for penny stock investing?
“Good futures” is NOT Netflix stock.
Technically he didn't. Netflix and Facebook are in the S&P 500 and Alibaba isn't a bad company at all. The only reason it's affecting him is because he needs the money now. He needs to leave the stocks there until they recover (which is very likely considering the type of companies) and sell them when they have increased in value. After that he can change his strategy and invest in ETFs.
Don't sell the stocks dude lol. You are going to regret it. Trust me. I know from experience.
I think the bigger problem is that he has invested money that he needs to be liquid in the short term. Being poorly diversified is also an issue. It's all tech stocks, which is also an issue since they're correlated with each other. He's trying to do too much at once and not getting anywhere.
thanks for sharing. one of the best videos I have watched today.-
This is going to age as bad as milk sitting in the sun on a 90 degree day.
Alright, I bought the dinar thing. Sounded crazy at first but I did enough research to convince myself to put in $200. I'm so dumb I thought I was "diversifying" because my job offered a 401k.
Think it’s bad advice not to pick individual stocks. It’s worst advice to sell when they are down. If your money is in solid companies with little fundamental issues and the over all market is down then you should be buying more and aggressively (if you can)! Knowing historically the market will probably recover and beat its highs then I would not sell and if you can buy more on the cheap. Now I’m not suggesting to buy individual shit companies but you can’t tell me if Apple or Microsoft or Facebook is down 30 to 40 percent down with no fundamental issues and the overall market is just down that you should sell them now. Terrible idea Dave!
March/April 2020 was a huge opportunity, even for ETF stocks
