      Firstly, thanks for your efforts to teach us about investing, I think it was very beneficial for those who are willing to learn something about investing. However, I'm at the very beginning phases of learning about the investing. Thus, those days I'm watching you and reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and hopefully will read your books, too. I remember in one video you suggest some books but they are just a couple. Therefore, I'm wondering is it possible for you to make a book list or make a video about the most important books in a certain order or maybe authors/investors in a more detailed way ? I've searched for it from the internet but I couldn't find a proper list. Thank you for your consideration.

      I really love your videos, Phil. It would be awesome if you would do a video on how you asses the real value of a company by analysing it's finances. It doesn't have to be a well-known company, just a real one. I'm sure it would help most of your followers get a much better understanding of this extremely important step.
      Thank you!

      Hi Phil, thanks for the video, you said it is no so much of a good idea to invest in ETFs, than what do you think of Warren Buffet's positive encouragement in advocating invidivual to small business to invest in the S&P 500

    There are as many methods to invest, as there are grains of sand on a beach and there is no one solution. Personally I follow a dividend approach through diversification of the various asset classes + a scattering of a few stocks from a select number of industry sectors. Personally I like having a good fiduciary broker whom can assist, advise and I can use as a sounding-board. You're right on about 7%, it's not going to happen over night and that it looks as if we're back into a 1965-1981 investment period.

    Hi Phil, thanks for the videos as they are so useful when it comes to value investing. I have a straightforward question, so let's say that we bought a company on a sale and after some time (it is about 6 months to 2 years), the company price will go back to where it was before so what to do next to sell it or hold it? How can re-value the company as it's not undervalued anymore?

    Sometimes you are stuck on 401k with limited conversation options and only stuck with higher fee fund as only choices.
    By the way, Trading on margin account and getting carried away is a huge Beginner mistake. I was getting too greedy without so much capital, so was buying stocks on margin which got me in bad debt fast. I have let myself get carried away with credit card in the past (hmmm, do I notice a pattern here 😔😳). I honestly found myself out of breath when I came to my senses. Fortunately I truly bought some stock on sale with average 30% gains, so trimmed my position to balance. I have not calculated my position between margin interest + Capital gains for the quick retraction would bring me up to. Anyway, I’m sure others will run into this , Phil please do a video on margin account, how to watch out for it, how it can sneak up on someone.

    Hi Phil, I'm from China and I have bought and read both of your books Rule #1 and Payback Time. I think your second book is my favorite. You said in your second book that you stockpiled bio-science and software stocks, but in one of your videos you said you were not a fan of high-tech companies. So do you prefer investing in high-tech companies to traditional industries? Do you think it's a good idea to invest in high-tech companies in China?

    I just started investing and I'm only in high school. I see it as a way to learn about the economy overtime and to feel involved in the global market more heavily whilst having a possibility to gain some sort of value out of your money. Many of these expectations aren't 100% accurate as far as I've seen and researched, but I can see where the idea originates from.

    Hey Mr. Town, I have a question. I am investing in some index funds on my investing platform I use that does not have a fee to purchase shares. My question is should I buy one share at a time when I have enough money saved for a share or should I continue to save until I have enough to purchase say 10 shares at a time? Which would be the best way to do it. Thank you in advance for your response.

    I would like to thank you for everything you are doing, because you are doing an amazing job, and I hope to see many more videos like this in the future! I've been following you and many other investors for a while now, so I already knew what you have said in this video, but is there anything you would suggest to someone who is trying to change mindset of his family about investing? I am still a student, and my mother is biggest problem, because she supports me financially, but she has a whole different opinion about investing, and she sees all the evil in trying to get rich (all those myths are real in her mind). I am still working on achieveng my financial freedom, I have some result, but they are not good enough to become independant, so I really lack support, because my family doesn't understand what am I trying to accomplish and why.

    After 5 years of investing, you turned your net worth into $1.4M.
    Even with compound interest and great returns, going from $4k to $1.4M is a bit of a jump!

    You often talk about sitting in cash and waiting for opportunities, which are likely to come sometime in the near future. When the market goes down (and it eventually will), should I keep my money (sit in cash) in a money market account? Although they are low risk, they are not risk free.

      I know it's cliche, but if you're on minimum wage, you need to invest in yourself. Minimum wage is meant to be a starting point, not a destination. Find a better job or start a side hustle. That's the best way to build more wealth on minimum wage.

    @BusterDarcy 5 лет назад +2

    It seems like everyone has a different number for what the stock market has averaged over the years. Some say 10%. Others 12%. You’ve put it at 7%. Is everyone just being selective about their starting date?

    • @robbertou
      @robbertou 5 лет назад

      Also some don't include cumulative interest and just use average yearly interest. For example if you invest $1000 and the first year you lose 50% and you're left with $500. Next year stocks go up 170%. You're left with $850. So one could say your average interest is 10% per year. However the cumulative is way less because of all the swings you take. That's the difference. Even if you average a good return you can see from this example that you can still lose money!
