In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad as it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short-time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advice but get buying, cash isn’t king at all at this time!
You are right! I’ve diversified my 350K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $730k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
Dividends got me into investing in the stock market. In my opinion, if you're investing and have income other than dividends, you can live on dividends without selling. That means you can pass this on to your kids to give them a head start in life. I have over $600,000 in my portfolio which include some covered call etfs for dividends and other etf`s for growth; (SCHD, DVY, VIG, SDY & JEPI)
Investing in REITs and high-dividend-paying companies long-term is a simple strategy for creating intergenerational wealth. It's surprising that over 98% of billionaires are stock investors, expanding their billion-dollar portfolios. The rich do what the poor fear!
Unfortunately When it comes to investing, most people seems to be ignorant and nonchalant towards it, when investments should be the best thing anybody can do for themselves. till today my profits in stocks and crypto continue to impact my wealth greatly. Therefore i don't feel any urge to solely depend on my salary or wait for the market to enter a bull run.
@@maryHenokNft This is precisely how I intend to handle my finances before retiring. Could you recommend the financial advisor who assisted you in getting started?
Investing indeed requires a good understanding. It's important to have a reliable support system, like a financial consultant, to guide you, especially in asset selection. I work with *Camille Alicia Garcia* an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. It has been an excellent experience for my finances. She is quite well-known for her services, so you might have heard of her.
oh! i never take this advises online seriously, but i checked CAMILLE up out of curiosity and i must say i am impressed by her Credentials. i emailed her already, waiting on her response
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional
I completely agree; I am 45 years old, recently retired, and have approximately $1,250,000 in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, having a portfolio-advisor for investing is genius!
As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. What are some strategies i can employ to be successful?
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from ‘Carol Vivian Constable‘ to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
i feel like dgro is better as it basically has the same holdings but its more evenly spread out. also the expense rate is 0.08 which is admirable for me dgrw is a very attractive etf tho ngl. Great video!
I'm a subscriber and enjoy your channel, but DGRW is old news. ETFs (including dividend ETFs) that include high-flying tech stocks are a dime-a-dozen. You won't find a higher quality dividend fund than SCHD. Their vetting process, annual repositioning, linear dividend growth, and underlying asset stability can't be beat. And of course the cost of this fund puts the others to shame. Sure, put 10% or so into your portfolio, but DGRW is not a serious contender against SCHD.

The crypto market can be highly unpredictable and often irrational. Being prepared for the unexpected fluctuations is essential. I tend to learn towards long term investment strategies which provides a more stable and measured approach to wealth accumulation.
These uncertainties will always be there. Thing is, every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away. If you're not ready for it, you shouldn't be in the market business. or get you a skilled practitioner.
Initially, I thought I understood the market. Iearned $50k in one year and felt elated. However, I later discovered a portfolio advisor who has guided me since the market downturn after the pandemic. To my surprise, I netted $179k during this dip, revealing there's more to the market than we know truth be honest
Insightful. I need some advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop successful market tactics. Where can I find this professional portfolio manager?
Finding financial advisors like CHRIS RYAN STEWART who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very smart option/choice. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I know this financial advisor. Chris Ryan Stewart is a genius in the market. I once watched him on BBC finance when he discussed his take on Real Estate Management and FX
I’m very new to this, moving from the savings mindset to the investing mindset. If I invest 50k into QQQ now, can I move that lump some out, in say 10 years, into a high dividend yield like SCHD with no tax penalty? Again please don’t roast me too hard I’m trying to learn here. I see dividends are not taxed if you fall under a certain income bracket. Say eventually if I were to get 50k a year from dividends, would that income go towards to my yearly tax bracket income? IE if I make 80k a year filing jointly I pay 0% taxes. If I get 50k in dividends will that move me to 130k total yearly income and push me into the next bracket (making me pay taxes on that dividend). Thank you. Anyone chime in and help please. Im leaning towards investing it all in QQQ for the long term then trying to get that dividend. I also have a Roth TSP that I invest about 1000k a month in through my job. Im 35 so I am running out of time
I would think that a major benefit of dividend investing is that calculating portfolio size needed is not relevant. We don't care about the value of the portfolio. We care about the sustainable income it pays. As you invest you can gradually see the income rise as you invest more and pull the retirement trigger when it's high enough regardless of the market sentiment.
By calculating how much additional income the contributions produce and estimating how that income rises. the capital value will fluctuate up and down over time so the amount of income new additions give you varies. so capital value being high with a market yielding 2% is no worse for retirement than the same portfolio at a different timepoints where the capital value is half and so the yield is 4%. so long as the yield is sustainable in real terms the capital value being half does not matter. its the same income stream at a different moment of low market sentiment vs high market sentiment.
Although there are many of chances in the financial markets, I've learnt enough over the previous few years to be sceptical about that. Knowing where to focus is crucial. When I started properly monitoring my investments, I started to amass riches and made over a million dollars in net profit. The importance of professional mentoring cannot be understated. Without the right coaching, people are more likely to make errors and lose money.
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 retirement plans are going down the drain. I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £250k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
Finding financial advisors like Colleen Janie Towe who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Bro I already invest in voo and vug which are both very tech heavy. The reason I like schd so much is because it is competitive yet have little to no tech in it so I’m more diversified. Throw some reits in your Roth IRA and you’re all set
I have buyer's remorse with SCHD. I have a 30K position and bought in in 2021. Unfortunately, outside of the dividends, this has trended sideways for three years. Zero gain and still at a $500 loss. I get the hype ... three years ago, but since then, this has done nothing. Looking at selling the position into something that will actually do something. SCHD ... equals hype.
SGOV is good *RIGHT NOW*. If your time-frame is 6 months or less, sure. But long term, it's yield is going back down, while SCHD, DGRW, and DGRO will be going up. In addition, don't expect and capital gain on SGOV. There are also tax implications if you do either in a taxable account. You'll get higher taxes in SGOV.

I think SCHG is a great compliment to SCHD......there's less than 1% overlap between the two.
Schd, dgrw 43% fund overlap! Instead do this vgt/schd it's a better strategy. Dgrw is a hybrid growth and dividend but it's more expensive too!
Etfrc is only showing a 29% overlap.
@@Biz005 ONLY!
I don't get allll the hype about SCHD. It is an underperformer, it's either stagnant of going down. There are way better choices out there

I get the hype ... three years ago, but since then, this has done nothing. Looking at selling the position into something that will actually do something. SCHD ... equals hype.
I feel your pain. I'm real close to swapping SCHD for DGRW. As long as Tech keeps leading the way DGRW will clobber SCHD.
For divs alone sgov is better with less risk
