@@rick.austin it would be awesome to have Comparison videos based on portfolio sections for instance for the foundation, Voo vs VTI, for growth section, VGT vs QQQ (M) vs Soxx (Soxq) vs SCHG vs VUG, vs Voog, etc and dividend section for instance Schd vs Dgro etc.
@r.ryansadeghian8060 yes it's a great idea. I actually covered a lot of the growth and value sector, as you also mentioned. On my home you'll find a playlist specific for these comparison videos. For the foundational part I only compared VOO with QQQ (growth) or SCHD (Value) so far. Today I'll record VOO vs VTI as well as QQQ vs SCHG. Stay tuned for the next weeks!
Hey Manny, that's a good question. As I wrote in the other comment you left, I also believe you don't need both because of the overlap. But to be precise: they are not identical. 33% of VUG's 192 holdings are also in QQQ, and 60.4% of QQQ's holdings are also in VUG. Nevertheless, a substantial overlap for which a better choice is to choose one
We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680,000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision. You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.
I wouldn't invest much in a leveraged etf. Nothing intrinsically wrong with them, but they usually have higher fees so you need to jump on them at the right market moment. For example if you bought TQQQ 3 years ago, you'd have had a lower performance than QQQ. I would just invest in normal ones, even if you are in your 20s. But if you want to play a little with them to try to earn higher returns and you have a strong stomach for the downturns you will face periodically, nothing wrong with them!
@@مؤيد-ر8ب I would hold at least 50% in VOO. The other two depending on your goals. For long term growth maybe 30% QQQ and 20% SCHD. If you have maybe more interest in dividends and stability than more SCHD than QQQ
Hey there, another word about leveraged etfs. Leveraged funds do well only with low volatility or in a bull market. A 2x lev. ETF can ypically grow a little over two times in a perfect scenario, but can drop at three or more times the rate of their fund. This is called Beta case decay, And it is partially a function of the daily rebalancing and partially a function of needing to sell shares at a loss during a downturn. I don't believe leveraged ETFs will return the same im the future as they did in the last 10-15 years of bull run. This is also because we're not going to have the 0% fed rates anymore for a while and because the mix of high fees/expenses and the high volatility.may give you a lower return with the leveraged etf than with the original one.
Not a bad idea. How much you ultimately allocate to each etf depends on your preference, depending on what you put more focus on. But 50-50 is totally ok
@@MannySimoneCards not exactly, but there's some truth in what you say. 33% of VUG's 192 holdings are also in QQQ. 60.4% of QQQ's 100 holdings are also in VUG. There is a substantial overlap, for which I would also suggest to just choose one of the two. They are not exactly the same, though
Good to know! I worry about the emerging bird flu pandemic, though, it's in every state in small amounts, but has the potential to be 100 times worse than COVID...I'm considering shifting funds into treasuries, gold, or a good bugout vehicle. Probably the latter, who knows how things will go though? Hopefully vaccines will be available soon.
What's up everyone!
Are you investing in QQQ and VUG?
Let us know here!
Don't forget to subscribe!
Now this is what I am talking about, two solid funds for some SOLID returns!
Absolutely :)
Great video Rick!
Thank you Marcos!
Both divided in gorwth portion of ira with a dash of vgt for more semiconductor exposure
Well done
QQQM is even better with a lower expense ration and the same holdings as QQQ
No sir
Yep, i mentioned it in the video
That 0.20 vs 0.15 is nothing because it has no volume and you lose money in spread, plus with qqq you have options
That might have been a problem in 2020, when QQQM was first introduced. QQQM has now a volume of over $23billions and an average spread of 0.01%
Thanks for the advice Manu Ginobilli!
Ahah you're welcome
GINOOOOOOOOOOOOOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Incredibly detailed and helpful video thank you.
You're welcome, Nicky
Great video Rick , am holding the VUG.. if you can compare the VUG vs SCHG ..
Thanks John, I can do that!
Hey John, recording VUG vs SCHG today. Stay tuned next week on friday!
Do you have any comparison of VUG, VGT, qqqm, Soxq and Voog?
Hey there, I have VGT vs QQQ (QQQM is equivalent), VUG vs QQQ, VOO vs QQQ, and aome in the value sector. For SOXQ nothing yet
@@rick.austin it would be awesome to have Comparison videos based on portfolio sections for instance for the foundation, Voo vs VTI, for growth section, VGT vs QQQ (M) vs Soxx (Soxq) vs SCHG vs VUG, vs Voog, etc and dividend section for instance Schd vs Dgro etc.

QGRW for me! Bests both of them
Hey man! That's another great choice! Thanks for your input 👍
Since they cover pretty much the same companies, is there any point in having both?
Hey Manny, that's a good question. As I wrote in the other comment you left, I also believe you don't need both because of the overlap.

For beginners iin their 20s, do you think buying leverged ETFs is better ? And why

@rick.austin what is the good % for VOO, QQQM, and SCHD in your opinions. Knowing that i want to put them for a long period and reinvest dividends
@@مؤيد-ر8ب I would hold at least 50% in VOO. The other two depending on your goals. For long term growth maybe 30% QQQ and 20% SCHD. If you have maybe more interest in dividends and stability than more SCHD than QQQ

My favorite two stocks should I split my money in the middle between them 2 amazing ETFs

Why have both etfs if they cover the same companies?
