    Investing in stocks may appear simple, but selecting the appropriate stock without a proven strategy can be tough. I've been trying to develop my $210,000 portfolio for a while, but the biggest hurdle is a lack of a clear entrance and exit strategy. Any feedback on this topic would be greatly welcomed.

      Investing in multiple asset classes can mitigate risk more effectively than placing all of your capital in one. See a financial consultant if you don't comprehend finances well enough.

      Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.

    You make an excellent case! . I’ll add 1 more point… Seeing my monthly dividend income grow is EXTREMELY motivating to continue investing . Buying growth makes sense intellectually, but during a bear market, watching my growth portfolio shrink…the motivation isn’t as high as it is for dividend investing. A lot of this is psychological!

      It's crucial to have a well-thought-out strategy and not make impulsive moves based on short-term market fluctuations. Patience and a long-term perspective are key. You should consider a market expert to guide you.

      If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.

    Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

      Now I have another question... once you decide to invest in one of those, do you have to keep some cash on your account in case the fund goes down? Or is it enough to deposit the required 3000dlls amount and never have to worry about how’s the market going until I decide to withdraw 5 years later??

    Video seems pretty helpful i just have couple questions cause im pretty dumb.
    1. If i were to buy 5 shares would i have to keep buying shares every month or can i just hold on to those 5 shares for couple years?
    2. How long do i have to wait to cash out those funds so it can be tax free?

    So are you transferring money into your settlement fund each month and THEN buying ETFs? Or do you only put money into the Roth when you buy stocks?

    • @ABCDEF-hl1rf
      @ABCDEF-hl1rf 3 года назад

      In your Roth IRA account, each year you have contribution limit for upto $6000 or $7000 if age 50 or older. You could set up an automatic investment plan on your Roth IRA account and maximize your contribution, make lump sum contribution or a specific dollar amount per month, biweekly etc. When you put money in your Roth if the intention is to buy ETFs or stocks it would need to go to the settlement fund first, then only can it be used to purchase securities.
      Hope that makes sense

    Thank you for another great content! I have a question I am in my mid 40s and just opened a new ROTH IRA. This is what I came up with:
    VTI 50%
    SCHD 15% (added for dividend purposes)
    VXUS 15%
    REITs 10% (custom portfolio with about 1o reits)
    BND 10%
    Please let me know what you think of this. Do I need SCHD/REITS? Allocation %? Thank you so much for all your videos!!!

  • @keybladewar22

    I have $147.79 in my balance on Vanguard but when I click preview order it says trade cannot be completed because it will exceed my current available balance. What does that even mean? I assumed if I put just enough above the amount price that I am buying would be a safe bet so I would not have some kind of issue like not having enough for what I am buying since the price is always changing. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
