🚀 The S&P finished 2023 with a 24% increase. That's nearly 3x the average yearly return (adjusted for inflation). It was a good year if you had skin in the index fund game! 🤷♂️ Why not subscribe? 👉 bit.ly/BirchFinance Thanks for stopping by!
wow! thanks, mate, for the simple language and easy-going style. I'm on my way to the first investments. Happy to find this channel. Cheers from Ukraine
Hey, thanks for letting me know! So glad to hear the information resonated with you. Index funds are a rather dry topic but powerful investment tool. The sooner you get those first investments, the sooner your money can start working for you! Stay safe. The world is with Ukraine. 🇺🇦💙💛
Great video! So easy to understand! I recently opened my Checking + Brokerage Account with CS. Question, in the 'strategy' section while buying, do you select mutual funds or ETF? I know that Mutual Funds will trade at the end of the day and for long-term investors this doesn't really change anything, but I was wondering what your preference was. Thanks and I hope you keep putting up great content!
Hey Luis, glad the video was helpful and welcome to awesomeness that is Chuck Schwab! Great question. When you're researching index funds, just type in the ticker symbol (such as SWPPX) and take a look at the Expense Ratio. The lower the better. Sometimes mutual funds charge significantly more than index funds - usually because they are actively managed. But if you're in it for the long haul, an actively managed fund isn't necessary. I don't hold any actively managed funds. Hope this helps!
Chickens are your ticket. But not just any breed. I suggest a Brahma or Rhode Island Red. Redcaps delivered in 2017, but were replaced by the Marsh Daisy in 2019.
