Thank you Brian, for the valuable information you provide. You go above and beyond and I appreciate that you do these type of videos alongside your reports.
After investing in my 401k and maxing out my Roth IRA every year, I've been putting all my extra money in VTI for 12 years now. Compounding interest is starting to kick in hard and let me tell you, it's beautiful.
@@lilblackduc7312Albert Einstein also cheated on his wife with his 1st cousin, and married his first cousin, and had a deformed baby, and abandoned that baby and cousin wife.
I retired at 60 with $750K in my 401K and IRA's. My wife and I did just fine in expensive Bergen County, NJ by living within our means. Home was paid off. No car loans. By withdrawing bare minimum, our health insurance costs were almost non-existant due to Affordable Care Act subsidy. SS kicked in at 62. Medicare at 65. Six years later, my IRA balances have grown to $850K and now my wife is turning 60 and her IRA's are now available. Anything is possible if you live within your means. Merry Christmas!!
I plan to retire at the end of 2025 at 62 after 36 years in Telecom as a sales engineer. My wife will retire in May 2026 and she's loving life! But walking away from a good income stream and building the nest egg to living from the nest egg is a scary proposition couple with the alarming recession and CPI report
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $80k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
The advisor am currently working with is Celia Kathleen Martel. i came across her in a Bloomberg interview for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Stock market’s historical performance estimate that over time, the payment (and reinvestment, and compounding) of dividends have contributed anywhere from 30% to 90% of the S&P 500’s total returns. I want to spread $400,000 into profit yielding dividend equities but unsure of which to get into.
Explore the option of engaging financial advisors, estate planners, or tax experts. Their specialized expertise can assist you in navigating intricate financial decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
Vivian jean wilhelm 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..
I have VOO, VTI, and SMH. I might add an international and bond ETF as well just for diversification. My individual stocks are: -AMD (which I will sell at some point) -Microsoft -McDonald's -Coca-Cola
This channel is highly recommended. I watched almost all TH-cam financial advisers, this channel exceeds my expectations. You are awesome, you deserve more viewers!
I like those all except QQQM, I’ve had that and it’s only up 3%, SCHD has annihilated it in my portfolio. Up 3% for a growth fund isn’t going to cut it.
I went the advisor route and quickly realized I was paying well over $500 a year in fees with only 30 K invested. I’m just moving everything to Fidelity and putting it in an index fund.
The stock market is likely the best smart investment. However, if you are thinking of investing in the stock market and you are not well versed, its advisable to work with a financial advisor who is an expert to guide you through the process. this way you could make more profit with less risk
I agree. I've been working with a financial advisor since 2020, and I return up to 15k every month, and I don't even have to lift a finger. Although I also think the reason I make this much is because I started with significant capital.
My CFA, Judith B. Richards, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really needed it. I looked her up on Google and explored her website; she has an impressive background in investments. I've sent her an email, and I hope to hear back from her soon
Thank you for showing up looking forward to meeting Sophia on Thursday thank goodness there are kind people like you out there that take the time to meet feed and teach others.
We all learn the hard way. Luckily, I was careful but if I had sold more of my stocks a few years ago and put the cash into ETFs, my account would have been much better off. It's never too late.
VOO is great. SCHD is great. Either approach is fine over the long term. Most important thing is to get started and build your income over time to continue investing more as time goes on
Great advice here. Diversification is *Key* I invested 30-50% of my income, over the last 6 years, in equity index funds, ETFs and individual stocks, which allowed me to retire in my 40s! Current portfolio value is ~1.4M and growing.
Thanks to You Mate, I have realistic expectations for this bullrun. Got into crypto early this year and I have truly learned a lot from you about cycles, crypto and markets as a whole. Now I know that all assets/markets are heavily tied to eachother and global economy has very high impact on Crypto. Thats why I am very cautious about when traditional markets top and how this affects Bitcoin and altcoins.
Stock portfolio management and trading has always required the expertise of a broker. I made so much losses initially while trying to transition from trading from a Demo to a live account.
I agree with you George Goodman, Demo accounts can be misleading, as they don't reflect real market emotions and proper risk management. I personally explore the services a CFA, to manage my portfolio.
I’ve been familiar with these ETFs and index funds, but I always appreciate the depth you bring to the conversation, Brian. Your research and explanations are invaluable-thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Soild Picks, high quality content as always, ETF such as Voo & Ivv yeild 20%ish return just in a single year (120% 5 years) and the potential is enermous when market back to normal, this man's not hiding the good stuffs from viewers, props to Brian
SPLG (SPY) 34%, SCHG 33%, and Berkshire Hathaway 33%. It's a 3 holding portfolio of Blend, Growth, Value. A lot of people like to go with SCHD, DGRO, or VTV for their value ETF since they like dividends. I prefer share buy backs rather than dividends, no tax burden plus Berkshire is a value tank.
Merry Christmas boss! Just set up my WeBull account and looking forward to investing in the foreseeable future! I combed through (some a few times) a few of your beginner videos and I finally feel confident enough to invest in some ETFs and just setting them and forgetting them likely for years! Thanks you again for all of your insight!
I Hit 110k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. thanks to Charlotte Miller for helping me achieve this
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. started this journey with 6k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Thanks to You Mate, I have realistic expectations for this bullrun. Got into crypto early this year and I have truly learned a lot from you about cycles, crypto and markets as a whole. Now I know that all assets/markets are heavily tied to eachother and global economy has very high impact on Crypto. Thats why I am very cautious about when traditional markets top and how this affects Bitcoin and altcoins. If i havent discovered your channel I would have blindly holding instead of engaging the market........ I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 9.3Bitcoin to a decent 34Bitcoin. in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Harry’s Dent,, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
Over the years, I've been a part of numerous trading programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, nothing has come close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Harry’s Dent insights.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $150k. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?
I personally like SPLG @ 0.02% exp ratio if I had 40 years to let this slow cook along with $500 a month contribution I would. It is to me the easiest way to set it and forget it.
Warren Buffet isn't the only one saying that index funds are better for the average investor. Dave Ramsey says the same thing. This strategy has been working out very well for me over the last 10 years.
Excellent presentation for the less skilled investors. My opinion is to choose wisely. Make the effort and figure out which individual stocks have the greatest potential for growth, not necessarily based on past performance. Also look at which stocks are heavily weighted in index funds. Many funds are heavily weighted in the best stocks. Don’t put in money that you may need within the next year because of potential market drops that we need to sometimes ride out. Don’t gamble!
This is the real deal....I have my ETF funds that just sit there, boringly making me consistent returns while I ignore it. I have a separate account that I play around with that has done OK but definitely not better than my ETF fund that I never have to mess with. For whatever reason, I still insist on having the play around account because it satiates my need to gamble stupidly ("like a maniac", lol)
We need a video tutorial showing ppl how buy these funds. Literally open a fidelity account or whoever and deposit money into said account and buy the stock. I know the videos are out there but none of them say they sincerely care about us. You have said that in your past videos
I have a need to invest a large sum of money for 2 years. Everything I’m told is that’s not long enough to invest in the stock market. I’ve been investing in monthly T Bills which is fine but would love to improve performance for this 2 year term. Any ideas?
Іn mу 36 уeаrs of studying accross 4 different fields, I have come to realize that the number оnе factor for success in any field is gaining ample experience оr following reputable and proven methods in that field.
Thanks for making this as this message, along with your one about save 100k to gain compounding momentum, which i'd say provide everything young people need to know about saving and investing in two 10min well articulated overviews.

It's my pleasure and thank you for all the support Michael! Happy Friday!
Such integrity. Ya gotta love Brian..
I have a mix of index. All Fidelity.
FXAIX - S&P 500
FSKAX - Total market
FSELX - Semiconductor
FSFGX - Large cap
Semi is up way too much, correction prolly will happen soon.
wonder how much overlap you have?
I own the Fid contra. Had been outperforming, lots of big tec.
You don't need both FXAIX and FSKAK. They're basically the same thing.
If you have total market everything you have is redundant, with the exception of your NASDAQ.

I do VTI (Vanguard Total Market) , ONEQ (Fidelity Nasdaq Composite), and SCHD ((Schwab US Dividend) and re-invest all dividends into VTI shares.
Try QQQM, lower expense ratio.
Love SCHD
@@ThomGarson Love VTI
VTI - it combines VOO and VXF, the best of both worlds. You get the S&P500 plus the extended stock market.
I love my VTI!
Same with SCHB. You get the S&P500, but also medium & small sized caps. Best of both worlds, indeed.

I am from Singapore and the etf that best suited us for S&P 500 is CSPX in the london stock exchange.
Absolute beginner here! Thank you so much for this video. Very much appreciated! Happy New Year!
Brian is a man of the people.
This channel is highly recommended. I watched almost all TH-cam financial advisers, this channel exceeds my expectations. You are awesome, you deserve more viewers!
I'm 100% in on schd, I auto buy one share daily for the last couple years. It's slowly adding up
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. SPLG = SPY and less expensive per share and a .02% expense ratio.
I just bought more Schwab swppx funds. Good price for index fund.
Imma do that...thanks!
I’m 50% VOO- 30% QQQM- 10% VGT- 10% SCHG
“If you wanna act like a maniac” 😂😂 dude, I swear you’re the funniest
im sure Brian was talking about me😂
VOO or VTI for life. Also like SCHD (40%), DGRO (40%), QQQM (10%), FTEC (10%) and just call it a day. DCA into it over 30 years
SCHB, exact same stocks, fraction of the price
VTI, VXUS and SCHD here.
I like those all except QQQM, I’ve had that and it’s only up 3%, SCHD has annihilated it in my portfolio. Up 3% for a growth fund isn’t going to cut it.
VTSAX is better because it has a lower cost ratio
simple path to wealth: SCHD/SCHG 50/50, with overlap by weight only 1%
I went the advisor route and quickly realized I was paying well over $500 a year in fees with only 30 K invested. I’m just moving everything to Fidelity and putting it in an index fund.
That is one of the best financial advices I've gotten for free. Thank you, Sir!

I stick with VTI and some SCHD shares.
Currently have 241 shares of VOO & 265 shares of FXIAX! Dollar cost average, set and forget. Add QQQM heavily, too.
Yep that’s the way to go. Set it to a few hundred a month automatically and chill
@PepeToTheMooon Yes, I dollar cost average no matter the price. I love it when the market pulls back, way cheaper

We all learn the hard way. Luckily, I was careful but if I had sold more of my stocks a few years ago and put the cash into ETFs, my account would have been much better off. It's never too late.
I have a 3 fund portfolio but I have finally decided to invest in ETFs, alongside. I’m looking at SCHD, VOO, XLK or SCHG.

AKA baby SPY. This!!!

How about FNILX, The Fidelity Zero Large Cap Index?

I am in TSP. It seems to be doing well.
another option for you folks out here, I started investing in this ETF around 2021, BBUS, tracks the S&P500.

I basically have 90% in VT (I like owning every company in the world like ASML that are not necessarily US based).10% is in Bonds
Invested in VGT for the past 15 years. Outperformed practically every other low cost index fund.
VGT was killing it past 1-2 years. 40% growth crazy
Why does everyone state go for SP500 ETF? When Nasdaq has been bettee
Thank you! Been following you for a while and love your strategies towards long term investing!
Thank you for all the support!
I have no idea what you said Brian but one thing I’m sure is that it it’s straight facts…and yes one day I’ll understand every word you said🙏
We need a video tutorial showing ppl how buy these funds. Literally open a fidelity account or whoever and deposit money into said account and buy the stock. I know the videos are out there but none of them say they sincerely care about us. You have said that in your past videos
I’m doing FXAIX, SCHD and QQQM. All evenly across.
I made 39% on my VFIAX and VTSAX from the past year.
Great information Brian
You never steer us wrong.
I definitely will grab some of these
I have a need to invest a large sum of money for 2 years. Everything I’m told is that’s not long enough to invest in the stock market. I’ve been investing in monthly T Bills which is fine but would love to improve performance for this 2 year term. Any ideas?
CDs might get better rates and you can choose inexpensive for the time you have.
Іn mу 36 уeаrs of studying accross 4 different fields, I have come to realize that the number оnе factor for success in any field is gaining ample experience оr following reputable and proven methods in that field.
Gaining experience can be time consuming, following an expert's calls is way better
@@ChealseaNorkl I think the right thing to do would be learning or tapping directly from an experienced person, following all their moves
But finding that mentor can be challenging, and that's a real problem
QQQM etf is the top 100 nasdaq tech companies. Very good year this year
Thank you so much for taking the time to break it down 🙏🏽
Should I just invest in a etf that tracks that s&p 500 or should I also invest in other different etfs to have a more diversified portafolio?
Great stuff. Blunt, to the point and no BS.
how about SPLG? its cheaper to track sp500 as well
VOO + SCHD + QQQM. 👍👍👍
This is the way
Same here
Thanks for making this as this message, along with your one about save 100k to gain compounding momentum, which i'd say provide everything young people need to know about saving and investing in two 10min well articulated overviews.
Splg cheapest s&p etf. Plus schd and schg, all you need
