I rarely comment, but I have to say this is one of the best channels on youtube. This video is very very good, straight to the point, no BS, I love it.
99% of investors should stick with a low cost index fund. Put money in every month and let it compound for decades. There are probably less than 10 people who have the ability to outperform the market year after year and I can assure you they are not working for a mutual fund company or working as a financial advisor.
Same!! I was trying to invest in VOO and put $50/month in. I could NOT figure out how to do this until someone kindly told me that is an Index Fund (have to buy at the stocks price) not an ETF (can do fractional investing).
You've been a fav of mine for a little over a year because you have an ability to explain everything from taxes to the market in very simple ways. Thank you for all your hard work, and Thank You for caring about us during these times when we see so many wolf's in sheep clothing 😊
I needed this video...please make more for ppl who kno absolutely nothingvabout investing...I will watch this video multiple times....please make more ...thanks
Great video on index funds. You can't go wrong with picking ETFs or Index Funds, especially for beginners. Investing into and index that tracks the S&P 500 returns about 10.7% year over year on average. Your local bank offers less than 1/2 of 1% to hold onto your money. It's a no-brainer to go with ETFs or Index funds!
@@rookie4582 index funds are easier for passively investing since you can automate the process unlike (most) etfs. However i think etfs are better for brokerage accountants and index funds are better in roths.
25% VTI, 25% SCHD, 25%VGT, 25% in 15 Individual Dividend Growth Stocks- AAPL, MSFT, MCD, AOS, PEP, LOW, O, JNJ, WM, V, PG, LMT, AWR, SHW... and BRK.B because I'm a Warren Buffett fan lol. All held in M1 finance and will DCA over next 30 years!!! Good luck everyone with your investing journeys and future financial freedom 🇺🇲
I have an index fund. I want to roll it into a targeted index fund right now, to try and capture the most and or lose less money in the upcoming turmoil. Want area should I target? Let's say for the next year or two
Good stuff Brian. I personally love index funds/ETF's. It's a great way to make passive income. I love checking my account to see I got paid a dividend from one of my ETF's. Literally did nothing but buy the ETF and just watch the dividends come in monthly or quarterly (depending on how that particular ETF pays.)
@@MuvvLuvv lol lots of ETFs give dividends. VOO is a good one that follows the S&P500, it has a great expense ratio. You could try others like SPY which also follows the S&P500 but has a larger expense ratio. I personally like Vanguard due to their low expense ratios. The dividends depend on how much you have invested. So don't expect 100 dollars from only 1000 dollars invested into VOO. You can google a lot of this like their expense ratios, dividend yield, life time growth etc. then decide which is the best option for you
Index funds are a great option for beginners due to their simplicity and diversification, making them a low-cost and easy way to invest in a broad market.
Sorry if this sounds dumb I am just getting into this but would it be better to buy little amounts every so often or can I just buy a lot at once? Would it make a difference for long term
Brian. In the beginning you said you cannot buy Index Fund, which is true. Later in the video you said Index Fund vs. ETF. I think you meant Mutual Fund vs. ETF that track Index Fund. For example, VFIAX (Mutual Fund) vs VOO (ETF) that both track snp500 Index Fund.
Is there some type of commitment when it comes to index funds? I hear you say it’s bad if you’re trying to be a long time successful investor but couldn’t I just take all my profits else where after a while? Btw great vid! I found it really easy to write down all the things you taught in the beginning of the video
I really appreciate this type of content . I am definitely interested in learning more about investing and this is exactly the type of information that I needed. I appreciate you taking the time to be very concise, patient, and thorough with introducing information to people that are beginners in this area. You are greatly appreciated.
I do stand corrected and it's part reason why I am on here but considering the recent economic reaction, how safe are indexes? considering the fact that index funds only track the s&p 500 and most blue chips are underperforming.
Great video, my retirement 401k is in an index fund. I’m not a fan of the stock market. I personally like physical assets like real estate and my retail business.
Have you already covered the 2X 3X ETFs and the risks as with the popular TQQQ SQQQ. I hear some youtubers say they are loading up on at times etc but dont talk about the risks involved with those as with UVXY and others.
Why would international out perform? Millions of refugees will not save the EU. That aging population will need more care and the new refugees also burden the systems. See Japan, same issue. Everyone is poor in Europe.
Vanguard has an index fund that is even more diversified than the 500 index. It's called the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index that includes both large cap and small cap companies.
good stuff, look forward to the next video on this topic, please suggest some low cost good ai index or etf, international index funds tech or mineral etc...keep up the good work
Why don't you just trade Stocks, with $10 k you should be making up to 3,700 monthly after tax under good management plus risk is covered, this is my fourth month trading and I'm glad I started
For me personally, any investment that’s less than 3 % rate of returns I wouldn’t even bother to waste my time because you have to consider inflation as well which is eroding your purchasing power by 2-3 % a year on average and in 2022, US inflation rate hits 8.3 %
I had to get an expert, Sir Eric Arlto to manage my Stocks portfolio as I have no skills for that, my portfolio has been growing up weekly depending on market conditions and this is the sixth month for me
Popular funds have min buy in cost. Can you expand on fees and how one should look for them when buying an index fund? Also, how to pull money out of a fund, people say they can pull a small percentage each year to supplement their living expenses.🤑
Brian... quick Q: Index funds invest the same amount of resources on all companies that make up the fund or percentages according to some determined criteria ?
I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other RUclips trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow

@@ryanclark9668can you say that again
@@ryanclark9668you def can; you just need to buy when the stock market is open. If it’s closed, you can only buy full shares.
Can someone explain the difference for me pls? Still trying to figure it out
This is a perfect 101 video. I will share this with anyone I know who is at the beginning of their financial journey. Thank you for making this

Great video. Thanks Brian.
Can't seem to find a video on your RUclips page that talks about Roth conversions. Did I simply over look one/two?
Index fund can come in an ETF or a Mutual-class. They are both still considered index funds though
Been a fan of VOO for years.

You pay ETF fees
@@eqqq54 Its called an expense ratio and the amount you pay on an index ETF is negligible.
How and which one? I want the same experience but I have a hard time understanding. Or is all this information best kept to one self?
@@MuvvLuvv I recommend you research Larry Williams investment, his investment fundamentals are easy to understand.

Hi Tolik, I said you can’t buy an index, but you can buy a fund that tracks the index.
Good job Brian! I like how you made animations, it's much more easy for people to imagine and understand. Keep it up! 💪

I needed this in 2019-2020 when I was painstakingly figuring out the differences on my own.
When would one take their gains from an index fund?
Using the compound calculator can also help put the numbers more real in terms of how much you put in and the amount of time
Thank you! I wish you a nice day too!
Thank you Brian for this topic this is your subscriber on the West Coast Los Angeles. Thank you.
Actually , I’m here because of Warren Buffet 😂. He said he started with Index funds at age 11.
Again my brother you are the MAN for taking the time out to educate the masses . Thank you 🦾

Another big difference you forgot to mention is you can auto invest in mutual funds, ETFs you cant you have to buy a curtain number of shares
Is that for all brokers? I know for a fact that Schwab doesn’t let you do that for ETFs but I don’t know the situation for the others
@@Boblol126 yeah ETFs trade like stocks you have to buy a specific amount of shares, with mutual funds you can invest a certain dollar amout

Brian... quick Q: Index funds invest the same amount of resources on all companies that make up the fund or percentages according to some determined criteria ?
Awesome video man. Very helpful
The list of index funds is mind boggling still. Any advice?
MTUM… several RUclips videos on it.. outperforms regularly
I invest in VOO. It invests in all 500companies of the S&P 500.
What's a mutual fund, and how does that work?
Average yearly return for S&P is almost 12% for last 60 years. Index funds are way to go for most average Americans. I like VOO
How do I invest with index funds? Which app should I use ?
I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other RUclips trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow
Is this similar to ETF funds such as SCHD ? Sorry for my ignorance.
Never mind you covered it lol
Nice information! Thankyou!
Thank you for your honesty 😄
How much does it cost and where and how do you buy or invest in them?
