Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
Yeah, brokerage AdvisoRs could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of investors raking in 6 to 7 digits in a space of months. So, I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and the least I returned was $140k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
Jenienne Miniter Fagan is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I think that Mark said this a while ago. Time in the market beats Timing the market. Rather than trying to aim for time or price to enter the market , regular investing into the market over time will better.
I'm 28 years old just starting out with investing, your videos have helped guide me in the right direction, I currently have $100 invested, better late than never
I'm currently 18 right now if I started investing in a S&P 500 (for example VOO or iShares) and put like 200 every month would it generate a good profit in the long term? I really need this answer please
Brilliant content as always Mark! If I think there would be a market crash next year, would it be better to wait on index fund investing until after it happened? Just curious and thanks
Hi, If you wait for a crash, you will wait forever and never invest. If you start today, even if it drops, you will pick up long term. This means 10+ years in the market. Thanks for watching MT.
If your investing experience is less than 10 years, then I suggest you start with 5-6 portfolio, Don't get too high on a single company. learn the process first. Initial diversification isn't bad, it really worked for me during my early years. Remember that the reason for every investment is to make good gain and protection of capital is a must.
I love that you educate people when it comes to finance, but really you can't just become rich by putting your money into an index fund. You have to have some capital, and if you don't have as much capital you still have to wait quite a long time to "become rich".
He’s highlighted the importance of time in the market and compound interest before, so he agrees with your second point, you have to wait quite a long time.
Little note of advice for investors, dont worry too much about what specific fund to go with, just choose the s and p 500 or a well diversified global fund ( I invest everything in the ftse global all cap fund ). But the real secret is to invest as much as you can as soon as you can
Thanks for the advice mate! I'm completely new on the investment market. Which app should I use? I live in Ireland. Also, should I only buy and keep it? How do I know when to buy or sell? I'm planing to buy only the S&P for now, I have 10k to invest

Hello Mark! Thanks for the best advices, I've always wanted this. However, why would in there be so many "S&P500" index funds? Like, why? Are they different? Scam? Why does that happen? Can you trust them? How do you "research" for trustiness?
Can you do a video series braking down the real-estate industry like the process of you buying a property decorating a property renting/selling a property id love to know
Just a quick question. Looking up just "S&P 500" on public yeilds more then one option, that all look almost identical. Is there somewhere specific I should go to look into index funds? I'm still vary new to all of this.
Thank you Mark! I was totally looking for something like this to safely put my crypto gains in! Also I was wondering what the difference between a ETF and Index Fund was, amazing video!
Every $1 you invest today is a little bit of time hat you you buy back in the future, the more you invest, the more free time you can afford in the future, having time and the freedom to choose what to do are the ultimate investing goal.
I’ve had people say to me they didn’t know you can start investing with small amount of money they 100% can and a $1 start is better than nothing at all
Been using vanguard for the last year, mostly using the Global All cap Index fund planning on depositing monthly for the long term. Up 15% this year 😁 will fluctuate as investments for but happy to keep investing for the long term
Buying stocks might seem easy, but picking the right one without a solid plan is tough. I've been trying to grow my $100K portfolio, but the tricky part is not having clear plans for when to buy and sell. Any tips on this would really help.
Buy from companies you know will not collapse when their stock prices are low, such as Microsoft or Amazon. Sell when the price is high and looks like it might decrease soon
Though dividend-paying stocks don’t offer dramatic price appreciation, they can provide a consistent income stream, I want to spread across $200k into profit yielding dividend equities but unsure of which to get into.
I stopped listening and taking financial advise from these RUclipsrs, because at the end of the day, I end up with a bunch of confusing stocks without knowing when to take profit, In reality, all I needed was professional advice to take advantage and make profits.
I recently subscribed to your channel, and I’ll admit, one of the best decisions I’ve made! When I get in excellent financial standing, I will definitely have you to thank! I will become a millionaire, and you heard it first, Mark!
If you’re in a jurisdiction where Vanguard operate, just set up an account and invest in the appropriate ETF tracking the index you want (VOO for S&P500) or look at any number of their funds. Good luck!!
As someone who is quite literally only just beginning to really look into stocks as a long term income stream, is there anything that I need to look out for (positive and negative) in various markets. Also, as I don't have great deals of capital, so need to be selective, S&P is looking like the pick for now, but how do you define what's your bedrock and what's your "fun money"?
As a rule of thumb, keep about 3 monthly salaries in an emergency account so you dont have to sell any stocks in case there are some big surprise bills. And the s&p is a good starting point as a base investment, just keep in mind that its only US stocks so you might wanna diversify a bit country wise
Im looking to get wealthy, not rich. There is a difference, good video though! I could be a millionaire, and I'd still live like an average Joe, working a 9-5 job, and wearing average clothes. Money is an incredibly powerful resource that gets you options and priviledges.
A couple days ago I decided I would put half of my savings into index funds but had no idea which ones to put it into. Thank you Mark. You are a godsend.
Great Video! S&P 500 question: Why did you suggest buying VFIAX or VOO ETF instead of SPY and SPX? Also, why are VFIAX and VOO ETF cheaper than the S&P 500 market price? I'm new to this so I'm confused 😂
I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore
For UK, look into VAPX, VEUR, VHYL, VUSA and VWRL (percentages allocated to each are up to you/your risk tolerance and goals), should give you enough exposure to everything!
Hi Mark, thanks for the great video. I wanted to ask is there a particular account you put money into as a security bucket ? After having watched this video I think I'm going to start automating deposits into the Vanguard S&P500 ETF for growth/compounding. But is there any particular account you would recommended for the emergency fund ? My concern is the with the super low interest rates on most of these accounts and the high rate of inflation that it's not a great store for your money. Many thanks for all your great content.
Hello! I am new to this channel and I have a question:)) How is it better? To invest a larger amount from the beginning and forget about it. Or to be consistent and to invest smaller amounts monthly. Thank you!
e mai bine sa o faci in sume mici si sa fi consistent..daca bagi toti banii pe care ii ai in index funds iar piata scade e posibil sa pierzi foarte mult, te panichezi si vinzi, cel mai bine e sa bagi cate 100-200 de euro lunar pentru a iti asigura o viata linistita
I feel index funds is a good place to always throw some money into, and just ride it. Have it on the side, then have all your other investments, businesses etc. I feel index funds is a secure way of having a good good sum of cash for when youre in your older years of your career, i wouldnt necessarily spend that money or use it in any liquid way. That just me tho. good video.
Hi Mark, interested as to why you prefer VWRL as apposed to VWRP (same fund but accumulation) with the joy of compounding. I know you can reinvest the dividends but seems better to have it automatically 💷. Seems a very popular fund I'm just not sure why people don't prefer the accumulation version ?
Thank you for sharing these tips! Passive income was a dream for our parents, and it's cool to see it's something we can achieve today. Hit 130k today pioneered by Expert Elena carmen
Hey Mark! Just wanted to thank you for really motivating me to make money and become the person i am, your videos are super helpful to me and to many others!
6:10 About dividends automatically being reinvested: Of course it makes sense to reinvest dividends. But how exactly this happens, either directly by the bank or by the person doing the investment, can make a difference regarding taxes, if there is such a thing as a capital gain tax in one's country that only affects capital gains that exceed a certain sum per year. E.g. here in Germany that tax exists and applies to capital gains exceeding 800€ per year, which then is taxed at 25%. If i were to use a ETF that automatically reinvests the dividends and i sell it in 20 years, then i'll end up having to pay a ton of capital gain taxes as all my profits are counted to belong to that year and will be taxed as they easily exceed the annual limit of 800€. By having the dividends paid first to me, and then reinvested into the same ETF by me, i can make better use of those annual 800€ that i won't have to pay capital gain tax on, while getting the same compound interest effect from the reinvestment. Reinvesting the dividends myself, in the case of Germany, saves me 3800€ in taxes over the course of 20 years (by not having to pay 25% taxes on 800€ of my profits 20 times instead of just once). And it really is super easy to do with an ETF savings plan, it just takes a small adjustment to the saving sum to include the earned dividends in the next ETF purchase, and by selecting an ETF that pays the dividends to me instead of automatically reinvesting it.
great video Mark. I only invest in Indexes as I aim for the slower less risky wealth gain. Any youngs kids watching this DO IT START NOW and be consistent it will pay off in the future
Great video Mark - Much appreciated. You mention at 6:13 that the dividends be reinvested into the fund and recommend the VUSA fund. I'm probably wrong on this - but it says the VUSA is a distributing fund, and the VUAG is an accumulating fund. I thought this meant that the VUSA would pay out the dividends and the VUAG would reinvest the dividends? is that right or am i wrong?
Great video as always Mark! I have a question on which site is the best for investing in index because i live in bulgaria and vanguard isnt available in eastern europe at all. Is fidelity the best one or am i wrong?
the secret of building wealth is to buy and hold. The ETF makes is too easy to sell when the market declines and one is panicked, because it's time consuming to sell a mutual fund, this will prevent one from panic selling. Also, it costs money, in fee and commission to buy and sell any ETF shares, the FXAIX from Fidelity has such a low fee and no commission, its .015% means one pays just 15 cents per $1,000
Hi Mark, thanks for a great video. I've got a large chunk of money in VWRL, but I've just heard some Chinese stocks are being delisted soon? How concerning do you think this is for an All World Index fund?
Very good video Mark, and I love that you mention that you spice things up with other types of investments next to your index fund investments. Everyone should know that index fund investment is the way to go, but that single stock is the more fun way because you could see a real big profit there, and that is where you get addicted to making money haha :)
You should always use an index as base investment and calculate how much your projected to earn and adjust accordingly, like invest x amount per year and see where that leavs you for desired retirement, then use single investments for fun and potential higher gains.
Sounds great, Mark. I'm 21, from the EU(not the UK though) and I want to start investing. What platform do you recommend I should use in order to invest in S & P 500? Thanks in advance!
Yeah ETF are great. I personally wouldn't invest in the S&P500 because a huge portion of my single-stocks are allready from the US + 70% of the usual world-etf is also from this pool -> For me, the ETF is purely my investment fallback line which means that I don't want a big regional risk which I would have if I only invest in the S&P500. My preffered solution is a mixture of world etf + emerging markets etf (roughly 70/30). I try to keep this ETF pool at about 50-60% of my overall stock-market investings. It really depands on the type of investor you are but I wouldn't be able to invest even more in ETFs because researching new companies and thinking about long term strategies is to much fun, even if I might earn more money with 100% ETF.

great video Mark Just found your channel. I have 75% VOO/VTI and 25% VGT and QQQ. I have no interest in international or bonds at the moment given the current climate. I just made a video on my strategy on index funds. If you get a chance would greatly appreciate it if you watched it and let me know what you think. Again, thanks for the great video.
This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a certified trader, Suzanne Stephens Ellis and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment. Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. it's not enough to calculate the risk yourself, get a professional now, try querying a search with the above name.

There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
Yeah, brokerage AdvisoRs could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine.

S&P 500 question:
Why did you suggest buying VFIAX or VOO ETF instead of SPY and SPX? Also, why are VFIAX and VOO ETF cheaper than the S&P 500 market price?
I'm new to this so I'm confused 😂
I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore
For UK, look into VAPX, VEUR, VHYL, VUSA and VWRL (percentages allocated to each are up to you/your risk tolerance and goals), should give you enough exposure to everything!
Hi Mark, thanks for the great video. I wanted to ask is there a particular account you put money into as a security bucket ? After having watched this video I think I'm going to start automating deposits into the Vanguard S&P500 ETF for growth/compounding. But is there any particular account you would recommended for the emergency fund ? My concern is the with the super low interest rates on most of these accounts and the high rate of inflation that it's not a great store for your money. Many thanks for all your great content.
I bought my first thing of stock and the SNP 500 is next all thanks to you mark ❤️
Hello! I am new to this channel and I have a question:)) How is it better? To invest a larger amount from the beginning and forget about it. Or to be consistent and to invest smaller amounts monthly. Thank you!
e mai bine sa o faci in sume mici si sa fi consistent..daca bagi toti banii pe care ii ai in index funds iar piata scade e posibil sa pierzi foarte mult, te panichezi si vinzi, cel mai bine e sa bagi cate 100-200 de euro lunar pentru a iti asigura o viata linistita

I feel index funds is a good place to always throw some money into, and just ride it. Have it on the side, then have all your other investments, businesses etc. I feel index funds is a secure way of having a good good sum of cash for when youre in your older years of your career, i wouldnt necessarily spend that money or use it in any liquid way. That just me tho. good video.
Great video, learned a lot, definitely looking forward to doing some of these when I become an adult!
Hi Mark, interested as to why you prefer VWRL as apposed to VWRP (same fund but accumulation) with the joy of compounding. I know you can reinvest the dividends but seems better to have it automatically 💷. Seems a very popular fund I'm just not sure why people don't prefer the accumulation version ?

If you are Canadian the ideal ETF would be XEQT or VEQT. these cover 4 markets and are super diversified all equity funds
Hey Mark!
Just wanted to thank you for really motivating me to make money and become the person i am, your videos are super helpful to me and to many others!
6:10 About dividends automatically being reinvested:
Of course it makes sense to reinvest dividends. But how exactly this happens, either directly by the bank or by the person doing the investment, can make a difference regarding taxes, if there is such a thing as a capital gain tax in one's country that only affects capital gains that exceed a certain sum per year.
E.g. here in Germany that tax exists and applies to capital gains exceeding 800€ per year, which then is taxed at 25%.
If i were to use a ETF that automatically reinvests the dividends and i sell it in 20 years, then i'll end up having to pay a ton of capital gain taxes as all my profits are counted to belong to that year and will be taxed as they easily exceed the annual limit of 800€.
By having the dividends paid first to me, and then reinvested into the same ETF by me, i can make better use of those annual 800€ that i won't have to pay capital gain tax on, while getting the same compound interest effect from the reinvestment.
Reinvesting the dividends myself, in the case of Germany, saves me 3800€ in taxes over the course of 20 years (by not having to pay 25% taxes on 800€ of my profits 20 times instead of just once). And it really is super easy to do with an ETF savings plan, it just takes a small adjustment to the saving sum to include the earned dividends in the next ETF purchase, and by selecting an ETF that pays the dividends to me instead of automatically reinvesting it.
You're such a good teacher and encourager Mark. Thanks!
great video Mark. I only invest in Indexes as I aim for the slower less risky wealth gain. Any youngs kids watching this DO IT START NOW and be consistent it will pay off in the future
Great video Mark - Much appreciated. You mention at 6:13 that the dividends be reinvested into the fund and recommend the VUSA fund. I'm probably wrong on this - but it says the VUSA is a distributing fund, and the VUAG is an accumulating fund. I thought this meant that the VUSA would pay out the dividends and the VUAG would reinvest the dividends? is that right or am i wrong?
Yes you are correct, I did add this on the screen in the corner and the fund shown was VUAG :) MT

SAP500 is great it has averaged anually 8% but now its even more!!!!
Great video as always Mark! I have a question on which site is the best for investing in index because i live in bulgaria and vanguard isnt available in eastern europe at all. Is fidelity the best one or am i wrong?
Fidelity
the secret of building wealth is to buy and hold. The ETF makes is too easy to sell when the market declines and one is panicked, because it's time consuming to sell a mutual fund, this will prevent one from panic selling. Also, it costs money, in fee and commission to buy and sell any ETF shares, the FXAIX from Fidelity has such a low fee and no commission, its .015% means one pays just 15 cents per $1,000
Hi Mark, thanks for a great video. I've got a large chunk of money in VWRL, but I've just heard some Chinese stocks are being delisted soon? How concerning do you think this is for an All World Index fund?
is the FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund any good ? do you think its better than VWRL ?
Hey Mark which platforms are the best for EU citizens. And which index funds
Hi, The index funds mentioned will all be good for you, trading 212 is a good European based platform which may be worth looking at. Thanks, MT
What about Europe, which kind of website or index funds would you choose?
Very good video Mark, and I love that you mention that you spice things up with other types of investments next to your index fund investments.
Everyone should know that index fund investment is the way to go, but that single stock is the more fun way because you could see a real big profit there, and that is where you get addicted to making money haha :)
You should always use an index as base investment and calculate how much your projected to earn and adjust accordingly, like invest x amount per year and see where that leavs you for desired retirement, then use single investments for fun and potential higher gains.
哈哈哈，什麼也沒教給我。
Bro is the reason Im not giving up financially
🙏🙏
How do you get compound interest on those companies that dont do dividends? Is it in the function of and index fund?
If they don't do dividends then the value is gained on fund appreciation
Have done great w/index funds - the difference between investing and gambling... and having compounded it over the last 20 years - - well, you know.
Comparing the Metaverse to Ready Player One is possibly the scariest thing this man has ever said.
So I’ve got both my brokerage and Roth IRA amounts completely invested in the VTSAX. Are there any modifications that you’d recommend?
Sounds great, Mark. I'm 21, from the EU(not the UK though) and I want to start investing. What platform do you recommend I should use in order to invest in S & P 500? Thanks in advance!
Vanguard or fidelity
Yeah ETF are great. I personally wouldn't invest in the S&P500 because a huge portion of my single-stocks are allready from the US + 70% of the usual world-etf is also from this pool -> For me, the ETF is purely my investment fallback line which means that I don't want a big regional risk which I would have if I only invest in the S&P500. My preffered solution is a mixture of world etf + emerging markets etf (roughly 70/30). I try to keep this ETF pool at about 50-60% of my overall stock-market investings.
It really depands on the type of investor you are but I wouldn't be able to invest even more in ETFs because researching new companies and thinking about long term strategies is to much fun, even if I might earn more money with 100% ETF.
Great video with amazing value as always💪💪💪.
Thank you Mark 🙏🙏🙏
To the person reading this, start investing and you will thank yourself in the future.♥️♥️♥️
Hi, Your welcome as always. MT
I put 10 k into vanguard global all cap. I'm currently down 9 percent. Thanks mark
Mark is such a Chad, he so cool, want to be like him!
Edit: Yooooooo
Hi, Thanks man. MT
Fidelity zero cap large index fund pulled 23.86% ROI over 2021.
Talking about passive income and investment, I will go with crypto currency 💵💰
Cryptocurrency is one of the best investment one can make and build wealth for their future.
Well with the cryptocurrency market favorable as it is, investing now wouldn't be a bad choice
Exactly, it's really good keeping an expert with years of experience close. Just like I have Pamela Morgan she has made a lot of profits for me.
Wow😮 I'm shocked someone mentioned and recommended expert Pamela Morgan , Pamela Morgan is the best...she's the plug .
My first investment with Pamela Morgan gave me the assurance that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got 2 of my friends into his guidance already
Hey Mark, I am your subscriber and regular viewer. Thank you for the amazing video. Could you please tell which will be the best S&P to invest from Australia. Thank you 😊
Everyday am winning
How possible?
I have found ur videos more useful than what they teach in school
Thank you
Hey Mark, great as ever. Could you give a "once-over" on CTI Biopharma please? It has had a rally overnight of about 10% (inc post close) and I understand there is a FDA announcement on the cards (not guaranteed). Be great to get your view please
Now in feb 2022 - etfs I invested in have slumped. Buyer beware
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life. Life was hard for me until I started making profits on my investment with the help of Tisha Lauri
How is it possible to be able to teach me pretty much everything about business in pretty much three videos. Your videos are great!!
great video Mark Just found your channel. I have 75% VOO/VTI and 25% VGT and QQQ. I have no interest in international or bonds at the moment given the current climate. I just made a video on my strategy on index funds. If you get a chance would greatly appreciate it if you watched it and let me know what you think. Again, thanks for the great video.

Where do I go to investment? What site or app do I download to invest in the S&P 500 Index?
This is the problem! Most times people with little or no knowledge of the stock market try investing by themselves. It once happened to me, then I learned my lesson and contacted a certified trader, Suzanne Stephens Ellis and everything changed. I started enjoying huge returns from my investment. Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. it's not enough to calculate the risk yourself, get a professional now, try querying a search with the above name.
Favorite youtube channel, easily explained. I personally invest in the s&p 500 vanguard etf, compound interest is the 8th world wonder👌
Thanks for the tips and details! Surely will subscribe, I am a child right now and when I grow up I hope I can use what are you telling us right now!
Probably the best thing to happen to YT since its creation. Thank you!
Hey mark I’m a young 13 year old who is trying to learn about finance and things along that line, you have helped me so much and I wanted to say keep up the good content 👍
New to learning about the index fund and how to get started I have a couple questions in hopes that somebody can help me answer them ?
Is there a minimum you have to buy ?
Is there a penalty to withdraw ?
Do you get taxed when you withdraw ?
How long before you can withdraw ?
I want to make good of some money I have but just don’t know if I’ll need it 1-2 years from now and instead of tapping into it I want to ensure I’m In someway investing it and making money.
Thanks for any information
Mark what is a good place to buy Index Funds? (Specifically Fractional ones as I can't purchase them all)
Can you make a video about yield farming?
Right now running
