To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .
An obvious way to invest for a recession is to buy shares in businesses that are likely to experience steady demand even in a downturn. Typically, those are consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare companies, but off course such decisions cannot be made by an average Joe, a financial advisor is important in making these decisions
Having an investment advisor is the best approach to the stock market right now. I was going solo without much success until my wife introduced me to an advisor. I've achieved over 80% capital growth this year, excluding dividends.
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
The stock market rally run is gone, but I'm not sure if equities will swiftly recover, keep falling, or fluctuate in a narrow range for a few weeks, or if things will quickly get worse. I'm under pressure to increase my $150k reserve.
Is this a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone is saying we are in the bull market and all, but obviously there are strategies to maneuver when there is a bear market but these strategies doesn't come common to the average folk, I'm attempting to create a portfolio for me and my children that will at least be $900k in value.
Making touch with financial advisors like Zachery M Demers who can assist you restructure your portfolio, would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.
One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.
You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.
I really want to get in with a financial advisor this year, especially as all markets are hitting highs. I don't want to be too optimistic and end up losing everything.
Finding financial advisors like Amber Dawn Brummit who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
I admire your dedication to educating your audience. We all aim for financial stability and a better life. Achieving this is possible through wise investments, frugal living, and careful budgeting. I'm grateful that I learned the importance of working hard for financial freedom at a young age.
In my opinion, making a smart investment is not only a technique for earning passive income, but also a profitable way of saving for future expenses. People who fail to make the proper judgments early in life often come to regret it later in life. Nonetheless, investing alone can be difficult and risky. As a result, I recommend obtaining an expert’s assistance. The challenge is not just watching videos and reading investing books; it is about implementing information effectively.
I’m a contractor, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 7 years now to match the present market condition and that’s how I’ve been able to stay afloat, knowing when to buy and sell…maybe you should do the same.
The advisor that guides me is Annette Christine Conte , most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name, She's established.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn which I myself took advantage of.. I made my first million from going diverse, mainly stocks, ETFs, coins and bonds credits to my FA.

Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.
thats really massive!How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
I have a female advisor named Lucia Alicia Cruz. I recommend researching her. To be very honest, I'm glad I decided to let someone handle expanding my finances even though I almost didn't think I should.
thankfully googled lucia Alicia Cruz and was able to schedule a call session with her, she seems very professional from her resumé with over two decades of experience
Started around 12 years ago and got serious about 8 years ago. Saved 25% of income and rode the market up. Simple to do. But, simple doesn't mean easy. It is difficult to defer gratification, but if you can do it, you can have more money than you originally imagined.
I agree with you. In my early 30s I wondered how my friends drove nicer cars, wore nicer clothes and lived in nice apartments could afford it. I put moneybin my 401k. I think that was the difference
@@cristoff3 so I did a future value of a present sum calculation using the year between when I want to retire and a year where I made enough money to "be comfortable" . I used the median inflation rate since 1972 (3.8%) as the compounding rate to calculate what that "retirement" number is.
From $10K to $110K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey" I plan to put 185K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice for stocks that can outperform the S&P500 this 2024?
I’m not well versed with the conditions of the marketplace, the avenue flow of transactions, not equipped enough with information. My best guess as to what outperforms the S&P is BRK or perhaps NVDA
The issue is most folks have the “I want to do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough during crash, apparently they get burnt. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 350%, since the covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.
truly appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to immeasurable progress, thus my desire for a reputable advisor... mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
Not to blow her trumpet, but '' KRISTIN AMY ROSE '' is exceptional in navigating tough markets. She has been planner ever since we met in London global economy conference. she's verifiable , so you could just search her and book an apointment. good luck!
KRISTIN AMY ROSE is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find her webpage and necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
For Brits we want to open a SIPP and a stocks and shares ISA (both tax efficient ways of building wealth). For Brits buy VUSA (pays you the dividend) or VUAG (simpler, automatically re-invests the dividend for you), if you don’t know what you are doing. Just hold them long term.
What's your thoughts on also investing in VUKG that tracks the FTSE 100, quick search seemed to suggest the FTSE 100 had slightly outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 50 years? (16,388% increase on FTSE 100 vs 13,109% on the S&P 500) - thinking of investing 50% in VUAG and 50% in VUKG - good idea?
@@DA-nh8ze well….. it increases diversification. Depending on who you listen to, that is good or that is bad. Personally I think the US will outperform the UK. But all anyone does is give it their best guess (educated guess if they study). Watch Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger videos for a good introduction. Also, be aware of your own limitations. And “Past performance is NOT an indicator of future results”.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
Interesting, This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro Investor?
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source. Consulting a certified financial advisor can offer tailored strategies to optimize financial results by reducing expenses and enhancing income, regardless of whether it's earned through employment or investments.
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.
Same here. Invested all my money when I started college, with a selection of stocks and index funds (thanks magnificent 7 for making me so much money). So even after I was a NEET for 2 years after graduation, I still ended up hugely in the positive, and ever since I got full time jobs, I've always put my left over money into the market. I can pretty much retire now, but I kinda like my current job and work place, so I'm staying put.
You can do nearly any age now. Friend made $14 million in bitcoin buying in 2016 and sold some recently. He was 62 and IT tech guy who followed crypto.
*❤Amazing content, You are still the best! It's been a year since I found ways to improve my finances and by working with a recognized professional, I was able to achieve financial independence, I have to say this; "As long as you have determination and work hard, you can achieve anything you set your mind to."*
You are a blessing to everyone listening to your channel! I lost good amount in market but now making over $18,000 per week trading different stocks and cryptos.
I usually look up your videos for updates! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve, Thank you Ms Alice Terry, imagine investing $12,000 and received $305,500.
Love this. Diversification and stock picking made me so much richer. I see Index funds as a practice to stock picking, a lot of my stocks are actually influenced by the top stocks in those well performing funds. Perfect balance
My wife and I sold our house recently in Florida to move to Texas. I invested some of the money from the sale in the stock market. The portfolio is up 300k this month alone. I guess she knows the investment is making profit, but we've never really spoken openly about it. It's one of the best choices I made. Lesson is, it took us years to gather equity in our house, but just months to 500k. It's good to have slow and fast strategies.
I started at 40. 6 years later I’ve hit £200k. It took discipline, sacrifice and not bailing out in the downturns but I’ve every confidence I’ll hit my target by 57 now. No im not in vanguard I paid for financial advice and it was the best money I’ve ever spent.
I bought back pension years with my job so I can be locked into a fixed rate to retire early and move into a more lucrative career field. Best financial decision I’ve ever made.
I was raised frugally, so saving money was always ingrained in me. And my own desire to make the most money for the least work, made me an index investor. These two things combined together to make me well off (not rich, well, not by my standards). Edit: The majority of millionaires did it by automatically saving. The rest did it by living frugally. When you change your mindset from "how do I spend this money" to "how do I save and invest" this money, you set yourself up on the path to financial wellness, because learning how to save has to be ingrained in you. You need to learn how stop your self today, so you can have more tomorrow. Once you do, you will find yourself spending less, saving more, and thus investing more. No matter how much money you make, there are always ways to cut spending on (or alternatively, there are always ways to make more money if you have cut the limit).
Net worth truly snowballs after $100k! Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE!
My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. Thanks to my FA, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
Nice. People often underestimate financial advisors' importance. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 13 years, resulting in a $1 million portfolio, largely from early investments in AI and other growth stocks..
*Sharon Lynne Hart* has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
G Man clearly doesn't use Vanguard. SPY isn't a Vanguard fund. But, he's right its incredibly hard to beat the market, so just buy the market. IVV, SPY, VOO (VUSA or VUAG in the UK) they all basically do the same thing. Buy the one with the lowest expense ratio.
I got vusa. Also made 40.percent in Two years in another suite.of shares mainly due to buy RR when it was low. Berkshire Hathaway you can't go wrong either... And big tech giants love em or hate em ai is where it's at..
I've lost 10s of thousands in individual stocks, but ive also made 100s of thousands as well. The advice here is good, if you're passionate and work hard you can absolutely beat the market. There's a handful of these sound bites, repeated by retail investors who get them from reddit and fellas like galloway. I'd just like to let those with the ears to listen that these sound bites aren't true. If you're a regular joe, Scotts advice is bang on. But you can be exceptional if you choose to be. Cheers boys
beat the market, but are you actually generating alpha or simply taking on more risk and being appropriately compensated as such ? did you calculate the standard deviation and beta of your portfolio and compare that to the appropriate index using the Sharpe and treynor ratios ? and if you used options then you'll need to use another ratio . and if the above is true, how long did you beat the market ? people can beat the market on a risk-adjusred basis, but the question becomes how many can do so over 10, 20 etc years ? you're an outlier at that point and in this interview he talks about the 1 percent ...ya, not good odds , esp when the alternative is much simpler and will likely give you a return not significantly lower if you do happen to beat the market . if you're ultra wealthy, hey, I can see why you would like to have fun trying to beat the market, but most can't afford that luxury.
90% of actively managed funds are underperforming but there are also a handful of others who consistently outperform any index fund (Medallion Fund, Citadel. Buffet,...)
Ive lost thousands in individual stocks but Ive also had the biggest return in individual stocks over 500%. But I still like SPY over everything because the trend in ALWAYS up. Slower but never bet against the market.
I get why people say you can't use the same degree of leverage with stocks as you can with real estate, because with real estate it's direct, i.e., the borrowing is FOR the property and WITH the property as collateral. But I took out a 5-year unsecured 3% consumer loan in Hong Kong for $1.4 million HK$ (about US$179,000) and used it to buy SPY in my American brokerage. Seems to me as if I bought those stocks with more than 4-1 leverage, even though ultimately the debt was unsecured, not secured by the stocks. (As with most people's mortgage, my ability to repay the loan had nothing to do with the performance of the underlying asset; I just paid monthly payments out of my earned income. If SPY hadn't gone up, I'd have been okay).
Spy has 0dte options and voo does not, if you want to sell daily covered calls on your 100 shares for extra income, you would want spy. Not voo. If you don't plan on selling covered calls to reach your goals faster, stick to voo, it has a lower expense ratio at .04
In Australia 12% of your pay goes into a balanced fund of your choice your entire life it gets taxed at 15% on the way in with zero tax on the growth rate, that's why most people become millionaires in Australia automatically at some point in their life, pretty much everyone entering the work force now will have a few million if they work for 40 years, I've got mates that already have 500 K in there fund and they're 30, and they piss up the rest of their pay every week
Even the sp 500 has beaten Warren Buffet in the last 15 years mainly because nvidia and tesla had twisted the average (a kind of companies wb wouldn't touch with a barge pole).
I guess you can ask 'is it too late to invest in.....' just about anything today. Real Estate has gotten so expensive, good stocks have gotten so expensive, etc. It seems like you need money to make money but today you need so much more money to live day to day as well as needing more money to invest effectively. Getting kinda scary for normal average (not rich) people.
Index funds are fine, but it's not that hard to outperform the market. Diversification into the bottom half of the S&P isn't going to serve you well. Diversify into different asset classes instead. If you invest into the best performing tech stock, the best consumer goods stock, the best e-commerce stock, the best commodity, etc., then you are better positioned than if you did SPY.
This guy is wrong. Bitcoin is a better to grow wealth than Index funds. Also, he isn't accounting for the changing world order. Bitcoin will beat the inflation rate by a large margin
Bitcoin has no intrinsic value its price is just driven by herd mentality. Investing in real assets ensures they will always have some value or pay a dividend. Bitcoin for fun only. I’ve too many friends that have been burned with bitcoin and other crypto.
Yes but Crypto has a huge volatility and it’s not easy to buy and hold. Emotion roller coaster I experienced last 5 years and counting is something I don’t lightly recommend to others.
@@BobSaysWhat22 its volatile in the short run, but increasing in value in the long run. Amazon dropped 90% in the 2000s. People who kept holding Amazon through that are sitting pretty now
@@Mactakun that is wrong, ETF is a security, it can track an index or nothing (you have active ETFs). SPY is and ETF that tracks the S&P500. I know it’s semantics but an index does not mean it tracks a basket of ETFs
You can only judge that but you should already think of a 15 year safety buffer from your first investment because that is the time the market needs to be 95% in the green and not red numbers… Hope this helps
Imagine being worth a hundred million dollars and bragging about not paying tax. F all you poor people needing health care and hospitals and schools… I need MORE!!! Rich get richer and poor get poorer. Shameful.
This video is not specifically about FIRE at all. And diversification & index investing have been around a lot longer than the FIRE acronym. Good grief.
Again. This information is no good to anyone over 35. When I was young in the late 90’s early 2000’s having employment the paid you an income that would allow you to invest $1000 a month was hard to come by. Not to mention if you did have that kind of money you would have to pay someone to manage it for you because there was no high speed mobile internet. They make it sound so simple to put your money in the stock market when you’re young forgetting that the barrier for entry was very high when most of us were growing up.
@@TR-lh9yz A Bitcoin miner would be the lottery ticket equivalent. Buying bitcoin, the asset, is like buying a winning lottery ticket and winning in slow motion. Everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve.
