As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $700k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns
To be on the safer side and not second guess your market decisions, I’d suggest you reach out to a proper investment adviser for guidance, they’re better equipped at understanding market patterns/movements and adjusting portfolio to match up with these market trends.
Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
My consultant is Sharon Louise Count She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for guidance. I basically follow her instructions and haven’t regretted doing so
Impressive, i’ll most definitely check her out. I buy the idea of employing the services of a Financial Advisor because finding that balance between saving and living requires counsel.
This the worst of these scams I’ve seen.😂
700k in starting capital and wondering how to be a millionaire?! You could damn near put that shit in a toilet and become a millionaire before year end
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
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 trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
@@carolpaige2 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?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $486k in the last six month. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently….
@@carolpaige2 wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio
The adviser I'm in touch with is Christine Jane Mclean She works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Insightful video. I just want to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments. I'm 27, and earn nothing less $150k per year, but nothing to show for it yet.
When people have money, they spend it. And some people spend more money when they have more of it. If you want to improve your financial management, you should consult with a financial advisor.
@@kashkat987 That's right, you can avoid the traps of lifestyle inflation by consulting an expert advisor to help you plan for your short- and long-term goals; it all comes down to proper guidance. Over the past two years and six months, I have seen my income build wealth and now have a fully paid off house and at least $650,000 in stocks. All this is the result of subsequent investments with my savings and the application of expert advice.
Nice, who is the Financial Advisor aiding you if this is not much i'm asking? my retirement plans are going down the drain with my 401k particularly losing everything it gained ever since 2021.
Her name is "JILL MARIE CARROLL", can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can search her online as she is SEC and FINRA regulated.
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.
Always having cash on hand is never a bad thing. It's flexible, it's anonymous, and you can buy anything with it. I have never run into somebody who said, "I have too much cash on hand."
Until their bank collapse and their money is only insured for $250k, assuming they have over that amount.
@@lotto5742😢 i don’t even have more than 100k let alone 250k.. so my safest option here is saving with high interest + 401k + my house 😬… idk how people have more than 250k on their accounts…
@@lotto5742 Very easy to just have 6 different accounts resting at 235k and dumping the interest out of them every now and then
Until you lose it
There are basic savings account for 1.5% monthly interest, imagine you have 68k in account, you have 1k extra every month for you to use
Taking early notes from Warren as to the importance of sound asset diversification and risk management It can’t be overstated. I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $300K for sometime now, I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions.
It's more challenging to create a strong financial portfolio, so I advise you to get help from a professional. You can then receive strategies that are specifically suited to your long-term objectives and financial aspirations.
Quite true! You don't necessarily need to be a flawless investor; all you need to do is seek advice from an expert. I began investing in 2016 and pulled a profit of roughly $900k that same year despite having no prior investment knowledge.
Due to the significant falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this advisor?
Nicole Desiree Simon is my advis0r. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I concentrate on. If you want to check her out, you may do so online. I usually trade in accordance with her strategy
I just checked her up online, and I must admit that she has an extremely outstanding experience in investment. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to send her an email right away
I’m currently retired, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, I decided to stay on the sideline for awhile, now I’m worried with the numerous bank failures as of late, am I better off reinvesting my savings in the stock market or do I wait?
Given the prevailing market conditions and the potential risks associated with the current economy, I would recommend refraining from investing in stocks for now. Instead, it would be prudent to consider retaining a portion of your assets in gold. Alternatively, seeking advice from a financial advisor could provide valuable guidance in this matter.
@@shirleneunglesbee1423 true, A lot of folks downplay the role of adviisors 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 license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
@@kansasmile It's best you do your due diligence, I have my portfolio overseen by ‘JILL MARIE CARROLL’ and her qualifications speak for itself. Most likely, the iinternet is where to find basic info, she has a noticeable page for consulting.
@@gagnepaingilly just searched her full name on my browser out of curiosity, spotted her consulting site without sweat, very professional. thanks for sharing!
Why not put your cash in money market funds? They give you almost the same high yields as savings and no worries on bank bankruptcy
If you're going to consider leveraged profit, you also need to consider the cost of leverage. If the interest rate is 5%, then that offsets the 5% capital appreciation
Regarding RE: Yes, appreciation happens greater than CPI, but how does it compare *after* taking annual property taxes into account?
I found your channel six months ago and I've been trying to catch up on some of your videos. You've helped me understand my finances towards a better future. Thanks for all the advice.
Food for thought: Place a sizable portion of your capital/savings in fixed-income securities like treasury bills, corporate bonds, government securities, debentures and let it grow. It will take you far I promise.
If one has a problem saving maybe because of a tight budget or something then there would be nothing to keep aside to in vest in the first place.
@@kristennn850 I understand the situation isn' t quite the same for every one but it's very important to cut your coat according to your size and find contingent ways to save, then you can find the best options to in v est that money. It's possible for anyone.
@@kevincooper0 Well if you put it that way it makes a bit of sense. It's realistically achievable. If one finds it hard to do this then they could always get a planner, it will save them a lot of poor decisions. They can setup feasible plans for you to save up, plan well for the future & retirement.
@@annMarien Well the idea doesn't quite sit well with me, letting another person manage your money for you plus did I also add it costs money too!!
@@kristennn850 No dear, true planners are mainly just advice givers and schematic on paper planning, they don't hold your money for you, it remains with you. All you need to do is follow the strategies they give you.
I would've spilled that drink talking with my hands like that lol, keep it up Humphrey
A hands on practical skill. Not a hard asset, however, roofing, plumbing, electrical, etc are skills that can save thousands and add thousands to real assets. They are also inflationary hedges due to the fact that people will always spend to protect their real assets, hence higher prices for services rendered.
Great point
Your videos are awesome. I appreciate these in depth explanations.
My parents (and really, their whole generation) was typically cash heavy. In learning about personal finance the last 10 years in our journey of undoing previous problems and working towards a future, cash is more important than what most of my generation believes.
1) Have enough cash on hand for 3 months of expenses. If you are hurt, or lose a job, or generally have to deal with a normal life problem, then typically you will be 3 months away from getting back to a normal situation. I work in a field of volitile employment, and my wife has a small business, so we are aiming closer to 6 months because we have more risk than normal... But for most people 3 months should be plenty.
2) have enough cash for planned expenses. We have a 25 year old HVAC system... It won't last forever, so we are saving up for this planned expense. This is outside of our emergency fund. We also have older cars, and while they are fine (I'm in denial they are not fine lol), we need to save up for their replacements soon.
Point is, knowing the age of your stuff, and having a realistic idea of costs, should be saved up for so that normal problems are easily afforded and don't derail the emergency fund that is for emergencies.
3) there is nothing else.dont hold cash!
Cash is inherently deflationary, so it always looses value. Investing diversely in the economy will ensure that you are always pegged with the economy. As things inflate, your assets will inflate.
Cash is a primary factor in determining net worth and class station; but, the cash value of safer alternatives is, as well.
Get an old, well-maintaned Toyota, it’ll last forever with basic maintenance instead of major repairs 🤣
that's why you need an emergency fund account for cash
Are there some places you recommend to get information on what dividends are for company stocks? I know its a lot to ask for, but if there was a place to see ALL of the available dividends from each stock that would be very useful. I have only found people claiming which 5 or so are the top dividends for regular and ETF.
The reason for the spike of M1 supply in 2020 was because of the change in definition of M1, which started to include some liquid savings accounts
Never buy collectibles to get rich. Buy them because you enjoy them. That way you will never lose.
The problem with gold is hiding it well enough that burglars can’t find it. But also hiding it so well that you can’t find it. 😂
it also tarnishes
Also, gold bonds lol
hahah
@@dukehober9591 no it doesnt actually. Silver does.
@@thooke222 Yeah, gold is not reactive.
Very sensible overview. I've also had good results with companies like Groundfloor, which are good for people who don't want to fully dive in on real estate, but still get a piece of the action. And of course, economic downturns are the best time to be grabbing ETFs to hold for the long term.
Thanks for the info! You should drop some videos around investing in real estate for the first time/etc!
I want to do that once I get into real estate and take you along my journey. Im looking for properties right now, perhaps even distressed commercial ones, cheaper ones...
in Texas with 3% property taxes and high home owners insurance you are not gonna make that much unless you own the home outright.
Great video!

Literally the majority of the inflation is due to companies greed not the fact their is more money.

Banks are giving as much as 5% interest rate. We are in bad economy. Holding cash in the bank is by far “the smartest thing to do” in today economy and yes hold it in bank that give good interest rate
On the real estate you need to take into account the interest you’re paying in the $400K mortgage balance. Hopefully you can rent the second home for more than the mortgage and then sell for a profit
my only advice is to buy a collectible you like not one you plan to flip, I have been sitting on a top pop grade 2021 Morgan that I got for a good price and I have been sitting on it for almost 3 months.
I have 50k sitting in the bank. It was supposed to be my down payment on a. Home but that's a pipedream now in my area. I'm not sure what to do with it so just gonna stick it ina. 12 month CD for now.
I have $100,000 in cash hoping I could buy a home! But interest rates and prices keep going up! I plan to rent my current paid for home for $1,800 per month. This cash flow would help pay the new mortgage but yikes $2,600 a month still seems high for me. I understand out of pocket would be $800 assuming my tenant always pays.
Oh I didn’t know US has diverse bank products such as high yield savings
What is your opinion on money market?
What if I have a savings account that has a 4% interest rate? Is that worth it.
Would you be able to recommend books about personal finance? I’d really like to hear what’s is your favorite books are?
I like the one by Ramit Sethi, I Will Teach You To be Rich.... has very practical advice all around
I find it incredibly difficult to find gold at market value. It's ALWAYS overpriced because of the cost of turning it into a fancy little bar with text stamped into it. It's not a good investment at all. Imagine buying a stock, but there's a $1000 processing fee for each stock. That's gold.
What about target date funds
Collectibles are a good place for some cash. BUT, you really need to either be intimately involved in that particular collectible market or do A LOT of research. People get burned all the time because they think they have found a wave to ride, just to be left holding a bunch of stuff nobody wants. There are three major 'dials' that affect collectibles: Rarity, Quality, Demand. If you can max out all three, then you stack the odds more in your favor. But, Like HY stated... liquidity can be a problem. Great vid!
Exactly, yeah! Thank you. Now I wish I had a pokemon charizard psa10!
We need to get the man a coaster for that beverage! For the table’s sake.
There is a lot of expenses with owning a home, Like property tax maintenance etc
There's a lot of expenses for holding cash like inflation 😅
@@triple_gem_shining just saying that 25k you made on the house is 25k - property tax, insurance, maintenance, etc, Also that 500k for the house may not be 500k like in 2008 or 2009, It could turn into 400k or even 300k, Also when selling house that’s another 6% so - 30k in fees,
Rental property 🏠 then you don't pay for anything
@@Midwest.. you pay rent all your life, pay someone else mortgage and you own nothing.
Pay rent all your life and building that persons wealth and you own nothing in the long run. So renting ain’t much better
In metro cities esp. the Bay Area there's no room for appreciation in real estate with people willing to pay so high in recent years, end up screwed with not much equity in the long run considering high rates, cali taxes, mello roos, hoa and only 20% or less dp and may lose equity if you can't sell at break-even after broker fees
best advice ever
Excellent video Brother

Example of $100K down on $500K Home that goes up by $25K is offset by the realtor who will charge 6% on $525K to realize a loss of $6.5K. Not to mention all the other fees and costs of listing the home.
Can someone explain why Vanguard charges a min on Index Funds and none on ETFs? I was just curious to which one is better. I can afford the 3k minimum. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
I think its for economies of scale purposes, like vanguard wants certain amounts to make it worth it for them to manage an index fund. I just assume an ETF is less managed.
Mutual/Index Funds are actively managed (beating market return, tax optimization, etc) so there's people that Vanguard has to pay. ETFs are passive since they just mimic an Index (SP500) and less managed, hence less fee. Performance wise they're similar but Vanguard is the pioneer of low cost ETFs and that's what most people use Vanguard for. If you want fee, there are actively managed fund (ie: Berkshire Hathaway class A or B) that you can blow your $ on.
@@ragequitdiary8203 Thank you!
They have index funds and etfs that are exactly the same in terms of their investments. In fact the index funds have lower fees in many cases. The difference is if you want to trade in and out, this is best done with an etf which is liquid all day, you will trade it with a market maker. The index funds funds you can only enter and exit at certain times each day and you will get in or out for NAV. You also might prefer the tax treatment of one over the other. There is a certain amount of admin work for vanguard associated with an index fund, perhaps this is why they have minimums.
The differences are minute and largely speaking there is a very limited difference between the vanguard index fund and etf if they each track the same index passively.
There are some commomnmistakes in logic here with Real Estate. Because of property taxes (and other costs which vary by type) RE is a liability not an investment. Even if the value increases more than your accumulated holding costs (which is rare people just conveniently dont count it) you have transfer costs, commissions, and other possible tax costs depending on RE type that further erode any possible profit when trying to realize it. you could borrow against it and leverage further investments but trust me not worth it. If you do the math Realistically (which for some reason nobody does thereby Pretending they made more money than they actually did) all types of RE are bad investments compared to the opportunity costs of other options.

Keeping money in the bank is the same as paying the government and banks. This is how it goes: The bank lends you the money and charges interest that is manifestly higher than the rate of inflation before giving you, the depositor, interest that is lower than the rate of inflation. Your loss is net as a result. I enjoy investing because of this, and on average, my wealth manager consistently generates returns that are higher than inflation!
Buying houses for rental properties, while nice for a passive income, is damaging to the rest of the people who want to buy a house to live in. The price of housing in this country is getting out of hand, and residential investment properties are a big part of it.

That 25% return on real estate it's pretty disingenuous. You have to be paying 0% interest on the other $400,000. With 30 year rates north of 7% and that for many people their primary residence is a large part of their net worth, investingbin real estate doesnt look so good

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, and some individuals use hedging strategies or allocation of their portfolio to defensive assets for market downturns. financial advisory is vital for achieving this, This approach has helped me stay financially secure for five years, yielding nearly a million ROI
Credits goes to *Michael Hugh Terpin* , one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. he's widely recognized; you should take a look at his work.
I recommend exploring passive index fund investing and expanding your knowledge in this area. Personally, I experienced both successes and challenges when initially seeking a reliable passive income.

Lol. None of these are safer than cash. Smarter long term, yes. High yield savings at 5% is the safest, which you didn't even mention.
I say that at the end, but yes, HYSA is the safest
Losing principal isn't the only risk. Losing value due to inflation is also a risk so his picks were fine
