Certainly. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are popular for long-term investments due to their diversified nature. ETFs offer exposure to a wide range of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, which can help reduce risk. Some top choices for long-term investing include broad market index ETFs, sector-specific ETFs, and bond ETFs, as they provide potential for growth and income over an extended period while minimizing the risk associated with individual stocks.
Numerous compelling stocks span various industries for you to consider tracking. While it's not necessary to act on every prediction, enlisting the guidance of a financial advisor is advisable. They can assist you in determining optimal entry and exit points for purchasing and selling shares or ETFs, ensuring well-timed decisions aligned with your investment goals.

For the Newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's sad truth. I remember when i just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 i ended up selling it because i have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2024 with $20k and I'm up with $232k in a short period of time
I'm new to cryptocurrency and i don't understand how it really works. How can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profit from cryptocurrency investments?
GREAT NWES!!started working with Christina back in April , and my financial goals have been clearer. It's like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Catherine Gauthier.

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Kimberly Ann Doran .

Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?
Personally, I would say have a mentor. Not sure where you will get an experience one, but if your knowledge of the market is limited, it seems like a good bet.
Yes i agree and right now the markets are going berserk right now. This is the best time to watch them, get to know them better, and strike when the opportunity presents itself. I learned that from a professional trader Thomas Rodriguez' he's seen dozens of market cycles over the past few decades, and he has a feel for how they move, why they move, and what comes next.

Good video. Careful with adding SCHA if you have SCHB: 98.1% of SCHA's 1718 holdings also in SCHB... 1374 Number of overlapping holdings between the two
Crypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in Crypto is not investing. Basically, I just made my first $300,000 in crypto market and I barely don't know how to express how happy and excited I am right now.
How can one start, most times people don't know where to start when it comes to crypto. But it would be great if you can provide proper guidance on steps to follow please
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Joyce Albert. A widely known crypto consultant
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing Joyce Albert been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
my u.s etf portfolio is typically split 25% splg and 25% schd and 25% schg and 25% tech focus XLK and SMH). i do allocate 10% of my schd allocation to jepq
@@Marcos_Milla You the man! Thanks for the information and up the excellent work you do! Keep investing don't let these minor bumps on the road affect your investment decision moving forward! I buy 10 shares every Monday and when it dips like this I buy 25 or 30 shares of VGT! I'm good on SCHD!
Amazing content about investing & sensational graphics. 🏆😊🙌🏻 You just blew right by 10K subs, way to go brother!!! Always love seeing your videos. Nobody’s as hard working and consistent as Marcos!!! Keep up the amazing work. 🙏🏻🥳💪🏻
Hi, I like your videos! I am new to investing and I still trying to figure out things out. Can you do a video of when it's time to do taxes? About capital loss? Do you need to file anything? Thanks
Definately writing this down. Usually I’ll just give my 1099 to my CPA come tax season and I’ve never had a capital loss (never day traded or did anything out of impulse) so the only thing I had was dividend income and some realized capital gains. But I’ll include this in further updates.
Thank you very much Marcos, because you never or almost never mention the SPYG ETF as a growth ETF. Is there a special reason or in which category would you have it?
Totally. It’s 100% a growth etf in that category. There’s almost too many ETFs to mention that at times it’s hard to keep track of which ones to mention or not. In this video I made sure to have like 21 ETFs for each category just because it’s hard to choose 1 or 4 ETFs when there’s more than 1 ETFs that is good for a category. So no special reason
Marcos! I see you and others have smh as a good long term growth etf... as you know semiconductors. Well would you consider Soxq as a long term growth etf also? Just curious.
Hey Marcos! My 2 etf is VTI and VUG. I have 50k each into this. A total of 100k invested. I am 25 years old and planning to hold for atleast 25 years. May i have your opinion on this? Thank you
In terms of overall dividend growth, DGRO wins in that realm since it’s been able to grow its dividend payments every single year over the last 9 years compared to FDVV which has more inconsistent dividend growth. But overall returns go to FDVV since it does have a touch more growth stocks than DGRO, so it could have higher share price return in the future if technology continues to lead the way as the sector with the most opportunity. Both are solid choices!
Hi Marcos , I need growth , 65 yo and just starting investing.... your pairing of ETF's picks make a lot of sense. Not sure when you made this video , but today September 6th the market and all growth ETF's funds with all the Mags took a pounding... I think the rest of this year we will have similar results, now what ?
I agreed with the comment made by a subscriber. Just dollar cost average. No one can predict the movements of the market in the next 3-12 months. Recession on the horizon? no one really knows. Being in your age at 65, growth does pose a significant amount of short term risk of volatility and potential unrealized losses, hence why you said mags took a very big pounding. My plan is just to continue to dollar cost average slowly and have a good amount of dry powder sitting in money market funds paying me interest as that money is on the sidelines to use if we see further decline. Typically you want to be invested for at least 5 years is a good time period. Anything less than that is more of your bonds, fixed income, and high yield savings account route.
VUSA or VUAA should be an S&P 500 equivalent to VOO for Europeans. EQQQ should be an equivalent to QQQM. If you want to dig more, you can go to justetf.com and there you can find any ETF equivalent to your country👍🏻
My criteria is if it fits your long term goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. If you want income in the very near term or now, then JEPQ is something to research further but if you don’t need the dividend then you could take more of a look into schd instead of JEPQ. Your portfolio is going to be very volatile since it has mainly a large portion to technology and growth stocks so just know that but you already do I’m assuming
@@Marcos_Milla Thank you. Yes, I know. But still looking like SMH, VOOG, and FETC all besting the S&P500 in 1 yr, 3 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr, and life. But what would you say about SPYD + JEPQ 50/50 in Roth ?
Hey my friend. You aren’t missing anything. It’s my first time hearing about VBR. There’s many alternatives and I don’t want anyone to feel left out if I don’t include an etf they like or own in a specific category or what not if that makes sense.
Thanks for the reply. I think if you will check the history, the small cap value will outperform small-cap growth. I think the reason is if there are any good companies in small cap growth they quickly graduate out of the category.
I would replace VOO With VTI, some exposure to the small cap is a good idea. Just my thoughts. Anyways, 50%VTI, 35%QQQM/SCHG, 15%SCHD, will keep that way for 30 years.
Nothing extra. However there are some that are better than others. I am not a huge fan of the yieldmax covered call ETFs. I like the ones with a reasonable yield that isn’t 60%+ like those ones and a few out there in the market because the price of the etf goes down as well and it mostly returns back your capital
This is a great strategy for true diversification of small, mid, large and international. I plan to make a completely separate video on this topic for a well diversified portfolio!
E*Trade does offer recurring investments in ETFs with as little as $25. So yes they do offer automatic investing if you can’t find the answer online (because I don’t have investments with E*Trade so I’m not too familiar with that process) you can 100% call their customer service number and a customer service rep will walk you through how to do it in a couple of minutes. Very easy process, I would recommend you do that
Totally. VGT seeks to track stocks only in the information technology sector. So mainly technology stocks (100% tech). While VUG seeks to track US large cap growth stocks (so it has technology stocks as a main portion of the etf but it is NOT limited to only tech stocks since it has stocks from other sectors like communication, consumer cyclical, healthcare, financials, industrials, consumer defensive, etc). The overlap between the two is that they both mainly focus on tech.
I'm monitoring QGRW and Felg! They both newer etfs! They are both Morning Star Gold Rated! They are both beating VGT, XLK, SCHG, MGK, and everything else. The only thing it doesn't beat is those semiconductor etfs! SMH and the rest of the gangsters...
That S&P Chart must be old. Because since I have started investing I have lost my ass. I am almost back to 0 from the 5500 I started with 2 months ago. I have SPLG/SCHG/DGRO and Nvida. And SMH/AVUV/SCHH , MSFT ,Google and TSM In the Other. And I'm now around 400$. Haven't grown anything have only gone backwards. And is even more amplified cause I didnt have big $$ to put in. So I am lost. Good Etfs, Solid Blue Chips.
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.
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.
I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.
I've stuck with the popularly ‘’Becky Lou Gordon” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up
You need to wait for another bull market because you will lose money in the short term bear market, now. I prefer high dividend ETFs because I'm older and I want to live off dividends to some extent.
Doesn’t hurt to dollar cost average if growth is peoples thing. I’m def a huge fan of dividends investing as I near retirement (which won’t be for a while) because people really underestimate dividends and how you can live off them if done correctly
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional

I cannot make any investment decisions on your behalf. Always look for funds or strategies that fit your long term goals and risk tolerance. Simple is always better. I would try and stay away from individual stocks at your age
@@Marcos_Milla yes and thank you. I understand. Yes I don’t touch individual stocks. I am basically a Fidelity investor and I am looking for ETFs. I currently have SPLG.
Hey Marcos! I still have a thousand left undeployed in my IRA. Any thoughts? How best to deploy it. It's Merrill Lynch Edge I don't think it's fractional shares. Any great US stocks on sale this week? Ha! Ha!
a lot of stocks are down as of this last week. I believe it was the worst week of performance since June 2022 for the Nasdaq and March 2024 for the S&P 500. best way to deploy your money is to dollar cost average. Just buy your portfolio on a weekly or time cadence that you can follow be disciplined to for … decades. Or if you really want to, you can lump sum but some do not like that given risk of further potential downside in the markets through the next 3-12 months. For individual stocks if that’s your question. I like high quality blue chip stocks. None of those ones you hear on Wall Street bets or those with weak cash flows and not a strong balance sheet and lack of future projection of growth and innovation.
@@Marcos_Milla Hi friend. I don't know why but my Merrill Lynch Edge broker says because I'm self directing I have to DCA manually. I really wanted to automate my DCA bi-weekly. What would you do? If I have M1 Finance could I automate DCA without added fees? Maybe I should move off the ML EDge platform?

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Catherine Gauthier.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
You trade with Catherine Gauthier too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
VOO and SCHD for me

very good combination that let you sleep well at night.

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Kimberly Ann Doran .

Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?
Personally, I would say have a mentor. Not sure where you will get an experience one, but if your knowledge of the market is limited, it seems like a good bet.
Yes i agree and right now the markets are going berserk right now. This is the best time to watch them, get to know them better, and strike when the opportunity presents itself. I learned that from a professional trader Thomas Rodriguez' he's seen dozens of market cycles over the past few decades, and he has a feel for how they move, why they move, and what comes next.

Nice, on which platform can I find this expert
I’m about 60% SCHD and 40% SCHG
I plan on doing a video on a combo like this more in depth 💪🏼
Me too. Also have SCHB for Broad Market exposure, including medium & small sized caps. Best of both worlds

Crypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in Crypto is not investing. Basically, I just made my first $300,000 in crypto market and I barely don't know how to express how happy and excited I am right now.
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much?
How can one start, most times people don't know where to start when it comes to crypto.
But it would be great if you can provide proper guidance on steps to follow please
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.

Amazing content about investing & sensational graphics. 🏆😊🙌🏻
You just blew right by 10K subs, way to go brother!!!
Always love seeing your videos. Nobody’s as hard working and consistent as Marcos!!! Keep up the amazing work. 🙏🏻🥳💪🏻
Thank you my friend !💪🏼💪🏼
Hi, I like your videos! I am new to investing and I still trying to figure out things out. Can you do a video of when it's time to do taxes? About capital loss? Do you need to file anything? Thanks
Definately writing this down. Usually I’ll just give my 1099 to my CPA come tax season and I’ve never had a capital loss (never day traded or did anything out of impulse) so the only thing I had was dividend income and some realized capital gains. But I’ll include this in further updates.
The best ETF Combos and analysis. Thanksxxx
🫡💪🏼
Thank you very much Marcos, because you never or almost never mention the SPYG ETF as a growth ETF. Is there a special reason or in which category would you have it?
Totally. It’s 100% a growth etf in that category. There’s almost too many ETFs to mention that at times it’s hard to keep track of which ones to mention or not. In this video I made sure to have like 21 ETFs for each category just because it’s hard to choose 1 or 4 ETFs when there’s more than 1 ETFs that is good for a category. So no special reason
Marcos! I see you and others have smh as a good long term growth etf... as you know semiconductors. Well would you consider Soxq as a long term growth etf also? Just curious.
I would consider SOXQ as a great long term semiconductor focused etf !
Buy the dip👏🏽👍🏿🤜🏿🤛🏿
Exactly!
Some of those covered call ETFs have return of capital which means you do not pay income tax until you sell or your cost basis goes down to zero.
as long as it’s not the yieldmax ETFs. I don’t like those
@@Marcos_Milla the only covered call ETFS I have are the ones on Market indexes S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, Dow Jones Industrial Average.
1/3 VOO 1/3 SCHD 1/3 QQQM.
👀💪🏼
Hey Marcos! My 2 etf is VTI and VUG. I have 50k each into this. A total of 100k invested.
I am 25 years old and planning to hold for atleast 25 years. May i have your opinion on this?
Thank you
Very good analysis!!
I try 💪🏼🫡

What would be a better investment between DGRO vs FDVV?
In terms of overall dividend growth, DGRO wins in that realm since it’s been able to grow its dividend payments every single year over the last 9 years compared to FDVV which has more inconsistent dividend growth. But overall returns go to FDVV since it does have a touch more growth stocks than DGRO, so it could have higher share price return in the future if technology continues to lead the way as the sector with the most opportunity. Both are solid choices!
@@Marcos_Milla thank you!
Hi Marcos , I need growth , 65 yo and just starting investing.... your pairing of ETF's picks make a lot of sense. Not sure when you made this video , but today September 6th the market and all growth ETF's funds with all the Mags took a pounding... I think the rest of this year we will have similar results, now what ?
Dollar cost average
I agreed with the comment made by a subscriber. Just dollar cost average. No one can predict the movements of the market in the next 3-12 months. Recession on the horizon? no one really knows. Being in your age at 65, growth does pose a significant amount of short term risk of volatility and potential unrealized losses, hence why you said mags took a very big pounding. My plan is just to continue to dollar cost average slowly and have a good amount of dry powder sitting in money market funds paying me interest as that money is on the sidelines to use if we see further decline. Typically you want to be invested for at least 5 years is a good time period. Anything less than that is more of your bonds, fixed income, and high yield savings account route.
Hi, nice video but what about europeans? Is there any similar options?
Icannot invest in any of those showed in the video. 😢
VUSA or VUAA should be an S&P 500 equivalent to VOO for Europeans. EQQQ should be an equivalent to QQQM. If you want to dig more, you can go to justetf.com and there you can find any ETF equivalent to your country👍🏻
How about 25% SMH 25% VOOG 25% FTEC and 25% JEPQ / SCHD?
My criteria is if it fits your long term goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. If you want income in the very near term or now, then JEPQ is something to research further but if you don’t need the dividend then you could take more of a look into schd instead of JEPQ. Your portfolio is going to be very volatile since it has mainly a large portion to technology and growth stocks so just know that but you already do I’m assuming
@@Marcos_Milla Thank you. Yes, I know. But still looking like SMH, VOOG, and FETC all besting the S&P500 in 1 yr, 3 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr, and life. But what would you say about SPYD + JEPQ 50/50 in Roth ?
Why would you like VBK over VBR? It has better returns. What am I missing?
Hey my friend. You aren’t missing anything. It’s my first time hearing about VBR. There’s many alternatives and I don’t want anyone to feel left out if I don’t include an etf they like or own in a specific category or what not if that makes sense.
Thanks for the reply. I think if you will check the history, the small cap value will outperform small-cap growth. I think the reason is if there are any good companies in small cap growth they quickly graduate out of the category.
My target allocation is: 40% Broad market (VOO), 30% Growth (25% SCHG, 5% SMH), 30% Dividends (SCHD) 🙂
I would replace VOO With VTI, some exposure to the small cap is a good idea. Just my thoughts. Anyways, 50%VTI, 35%QQQM/SCHG, 15%SCHD, will keep that way for 30 years.
💪🏼
Do you have to do anything extra when investing in a covered call ETF? Or do you just keep throwing money in like every other ETF?
Nothing extra. However there are some that are better than others. I am not a huge fan of the yieldmax covered call ETFs. I like the ones with a reasonable yield that isn’t 60%+ like those ones and a few out there in the market because the price of the etf goes down as well and it mostly returns back your capital
@@Marcos_Milla you’re the best
@@Bur6212 thank you my friend 💪🏼💪🏼
Do you max out your Roth IRA every year? And also invest in some of these? Also do you put money in a 401k too?
Correct! I max out my Roth IRA, then I max out my 401k up to my employer match, then I use the rest of the money I make and put into a taxable account
@@Marcos_Milla great thanks. Is there a reason you max out your Roth first even if you can’t take it out until you are MUCH older?
what about vti + vxus? good ones?
This is a great strategy for true diversification of small, mid, large and international. I plan to make a completely separate video on this topic for a well diversified portfolio!
The market now is sh!t
Dollar cost average 👀
Would there be a reason why I can’t turn on automatic investing with DGRO on etrade in my Roth IRA??
E*Trade does offer recurring investments in ETFs with as little as $25. So yes they do offer automatic investing if you can’t find the answer online (because I don’t have investments with E*Trade so I’m not too familiar with that process) you can 100% call their customer service number and a customer service rep will walk you through how to do it in a couple of minutes. Very easy process, I would recommend you do that
@@Marcos_Milla awesome thanks
SPMO!

What’s the difference between vgt and vug
Totally. VGT seeks to track stocks only in the information technology sector. So mainly technology stocks (100% tech). While VUG seeks to track US large cap growth stocks (so it has technology stocks as a main portion of the etf but it is NOT limited to only tech stocks since it has stocks from other sectors like communication, consumer cyclical, healthcare, financials, industrials, consumer defensive, etc). The overlap between the two is that they both mainly focus on tech.
@@Marcos_Milla great thanks! Perfect was to put it!
I'm monitoring QGRW and Felg! They both newer etfs! They are both Morning Star Gold Rated! They are both beating VGT, XLK, SCHG, MGK, and everything else. The only thing it doesn't beat is those semiconductor etfs! SMH and the rest of the gangsters...
👀
That S&P Chart must be old. Because since I have started investing I have lost my ass. I am almost back to 0 from the 5500 I started with 2 months ago. I have SPLG/SCHG/DGRO and Nvida. And SMH/AVUV/SCHH , MSFT ,Google and TSM In the Other. And I'm now around 400$. Haven't grown anything have only gone backwards. And is even more amplified cause I didnt have big $$ to put in. So I am lost. Good Etfs, Solid Blue Chips.
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.
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.
I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.
this is all new to me, How do I find a suitable market strategist, can you recommend any?
I've stuck with the popularly ‘’Becky Lou Gordon” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up
No love for SCHG?
Schg is on there right? I have schg in my Roth IRA. Should be in the growth category
You need to wait for another bull market because you will lose money in the short term bear market, now. I prefer high dividend ETFs because I'm older and I want to live off dividends to some extent.
Doesn’t hurt to dollar cost average if growth is peoples thing. I’m def a huge fan of dividends investing as I near retirement (which won’t be for a while) because people really underestimate dividends and how you can live off them if done correctly
VOO and SCHD is only 8% overlap? really? 😳😳 i didn’t know that. i thought all the SCHD corporations are already in VOO 😩
That’s what I thought too haha. I was expecting a 15-20% fund overlap then I saw and was like damn… haha

Hey Marcos! I still have a thousand left undeployed in my IRA. Any thoughts? How best to deploy it. It's Merrill Lynch Edge I don't think it's fractional shares. Any great US stocks on sale this week? Ha! Ha!
a lot of stocks are down as of this last week. I believe it was the worst week of performance since June 2022 for the Nasdaq and March 2024 for the S&P 500. best way to deploy your money is to dollar cost average. Just buy your portfolio on a weekly or time cadence that you can follow be disciplined to for … decades. Or if you really want to, you can lump sum but some do not like that given risk of further potential downside in the markets through the next 3-12 months. For individual stocks if that’s your question. I like high quality blue chip stocks. None of those ones you hear on Wall Street bets or those with weak cash flows and not a strong balance sheet and lack of future projection of growth and innovation.
@@Marcos_Milla Hi friend. I don't know why but my Merrill Lynch Edge broker says because I'm self directing I have to DCA manually. I really wanted to automate my DCA bi-weekly. What would you do? If I have M1 Finance could I automate DCA without added fees? Maybe I should move off the ML EDge platform?

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors 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
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
