I got tired of stressing about inflation and the economy and decided to start to build wealth for the future. I dont want to make a million overnight but build it overtime. I wish everyone doing the same the best. good luck to everyone
Thank you Brendan I am currently watching the 3hr video on udemy and liking it so far. Your explanation is so in depth and simple to understand really looking forward to more as am new to all this.
Congrats!!!! I'll be 36 in January! I won't be a millionaire though... I mean it's possible... but unlikely 😂! I'm at like 200k +/- ; it's moving alot atm 😅!
I don't like moving my money around like that, but I nonetheless enjoy watching your informative videos. I sometimes play your videos in the background while I work. 👍 Oh, one more thing, buy gold or silver, but more so gold! 😂
By far, the best video breakdown ive seen of recommended brokerages. I love listening to someone on this topic and not be stuffed with hot button words while getting all of the information i need, as well as getting some of the finer details you could only get from a good friend or good content creator. Just started with M1 and immediately switching to Vanguard before my initial deposit clears. Thank you
Great presentation. Thaxxx for the upload im gonna try the course of yours i just got acorns today. I wish i would of started investing earlier in my life but as u said in another video its never to late to start
trophy. You answered a boat load of questions for me. Thanks. When I start with one of these apps i will use your link because that is the way honest reviews are rewarded. You didn't hold back. Thanks again
you should have also clarified that wealthfront .25 only applies to their auto investing, which also does tax loss harvesting and other cool features. but picking your own stocks there is no fee. the tax-loss harvest is a big detail to include with that .25 charge.
Thanks so much for this video. I'mm currently debt free, no mortgage working PT 2 days week, for some thats retirement goal. I need my money to do more for me.
I don’t think you should just let someone else tell you where to put your money. Based on the info presented here, which app gives you what you’re looking for? What you want and like is different than what someone else wants.
Acorns waiver is a big deal. Yeah it’s a direct deposit but if you are doing automatic deposits anyway and using it that way , why not? Can limit your payroll to just the 250 with your company in many cases, get that fee waived and have it automatically invest or sit at 3/5% apy.
Also, Fidelity/Schwab/TOS doesn’t offer fractional shares and the menus take weeks to actually understand (coming from someone who works in Public Accounting)
Disagree with fractional shares being a necessity. It's hardly a big deal. If you like everything else about the platform, stocks split. If a stock is so hot, like nvda and tesla was during pandemic, then just go with a lopsided portfolio and put the majority of your loot into that single stock. Not being able to afford 1 share is temporary. This shall pass. Be patient and you'll be swimming in 10 figures before long. Fractional shares are not going to get you to your goals any faster.
So which one is the best? I want to invest in etfs/index funds and safe good yield bonds and have that money grow and set up a Roth IRA later since im a student. I want to do acorns but not being allowed to add money to stocks until you sell doesn’t make any sense if you are supposed to let the money grow. I also want to be able to buy fractional shares and have auto investing back into the stocks
Depends on you my friend. Idk what you mean by “not being allowed to add money to stocks until you sell” though. That doesn’t sound like any investing app I’ve ever heard of.
You’re probably right, I just reviewed their pricing page again ( public.com/disclosures/fee-schedule ) and don’t see anything crazy but I wonder if you’re thinking of the “Costs Associated with Investment Plans” fee section? Those look pesky and annoying.
@@BrendanEvan Correct! It's not a break the bank fee but still annoying! Considering when I joined them 2 years ago the ONLY fee was the optional tip. Makes me feel a little screwed over for tipping them "so much" only for the fees to change now that I have money on the platform. Great video! I'm back on the market for an app and this was just the video I needed!
@malec8517 Thanks!!! Yeah this seems to be the norm for just about every technology based startup these days. First 3 years: offer great stuff for very little money Next 3 years: introduce small fees Years 7,8,9: jack up the fees
Yeah the specifics are focused on American account types, but most of the class is about more universal concepts around investing. I’d say 75%+ is universal
Brendan, I appreciate your thoughts about stock lending. It was thoughtful and informative. I searched more for your credentials and background, and would like a link to your LinkedIn or professional bio please. thank you, Barbara
I have a question to be honest Mr.Brendan I'm seeing 5% APY on banks and CD's etc. But is there anything you can invest in that gives you a higher yield that you could recommend please ,🙏 thank u
The stock market on average has given something like a 9% gain each year over a long period of time. More would be great but to do that you’re taking on a LOT more risk.
Enough people have requested it that I’m making the video! Thanks for your input. Probably could take up to a month to get enough info and personal experience to make something quality
Poo... would have liked to seen bigger names here at least mentioned.... in a world of banks collapsing ect... who wants to invest with a mom and pop shop! Schwab and fidelity come to mind... its true, common sense not so common these days. Explain why
@JC-JC20 Hey it’s awesome you recognized it. Depends on how much you want to self regulate. If you want to be totally unable to gamble you could do Acorns. But you have to be ready to stop. I could share an M1 Pie that’s done really well for us if you still want some control but the platform isn’t made for gambling.
Kudos to a man who has affiliate links but still gives you the honest break down no matter the criticisms. Thanks for the solid info 👍
I got tired of stressing about inflation and the economy and decided to start to build wealth for the future. I dont want to make a million overnight but build it overtime. I wish everyone doing the same the best. good luck to everyone
Schwab is still my fav. Completely free IRA, Brokerage, and Checking with no mins, and refunds all ATM fees.
No fractional index investors
HOOP trophy
These comparison videos was the original reason I started watching your channel. Thanks for the content.

You’re still way ahead of the game Zak, and Happy Early Birthday!
Thanks!! 🥳
Significant issue with Public. When you sell shares in a position, they consider fractional shares have no value.
Why no Fidelity on this list?
CONGRATS ON BEING A MILLIONARE
🙏

Team M1 Finance 🤑
I just found your channel, i subscribed. Great info
m1 finance here confirm some features should be more easy like buying or selling something that will work good its like swiping to left or righ to buy
By far, the best video breakdown ive seen of recommended brokerages. I love listening to someone on this topic and not be stuffed with hot button words while getting all of the information i need, as well as getting some of the finer details you could only get from a good friend or good content creator.

Thank you, you detailed it easy for better understanding and judgment. Learnt quite a lot.
Great presentation. Thaxxx for the upload im gonna try the course of yours i just got acorns today. I wish i would of started investing earlier in my life but as u said in another video its never to late to start
I have a 401k at work. I let that do its thing. Just trying to do something on my own. I would like to pay off my $280k mortgage. 41 yrs old.
Trophy! I'm ready and want to get my tween started.
trophy. You answered a boat load of questions for me. Thanks. When I start with one of these apps i will use your link because that is the way honest reviews are rewarded. You didn't hold back. Thanks again
Very informative review. Thank you sir.
Maybe M1 listened because they simplified their offering.
Team M1!!!!
Tigger liked this, Pooh was ambivalent. No trophy for you. The word for world is forest.
I'd like to make a correction in the video: There are NO fractional shares with Ally Invest.
Ooh you’re right! Thanks for this!!
Trophy. Thanks for the awesome breakdown!

I prefer examples than words.. make a table, get a board and write on it to actualy stock marker teaching... gl.
Best video on this topic I’ve found that’s resent and honest. Thank you
Oh yeah Poo Trophy 😅
Thanks!!
Let me ask you this, is it worth making another one of these as a sort of mid-year update?
I appreciate this video!
m1 borrow is a feature you should learn about before you move out of m1
The one thing im suprised you didnt mention about webull is that its pre market and after market hours tend to be way longer than on robinhood
I like public App
lot of good info, but sadly I still don't have a clear idea of what company to go with
I don’t think you should just let someone else tell you where to put your money. Based on the info presented here, which app gives you what you’re looking for? What you want and like is different than what someone else wants.
Facilitated the video precisely
AMAZING content! Thanks!
Trophy spouses are expensive.

I love the idea of Betterment, but it seems like a hefty cost to optimize for things like tax loss harvesting.
Wish you had Etrade review
TD Ameritrade was amazing.... That Schwab didn't aquire it too is criminal.
Why wasn't fidelity on this list
Can’t test them all! But enough people have commented that I may have to add Fidelity in the next competition!
Also, Fidelity/Schwab/TOS doesn’t offer fractional shares and the menus take weeks to actually understand (coming from someone who works in Public Accounting)
@@utcfist4442fidelity absolutely offers fractional shares. They have for a long time now.
Public is the best
I use M1. The person who put me on to investing uses M1 so I stick with that. I like it. I’m satisfied
Glad you found what works for you!
Let’s GO! Been waiting for this video!

my issues with m1 is they don't have some ets or stocks that I need.

Depends on you my friend. Idk what you mean by “not being allowed to add money to stocks until you sell” though. That doesn’t sound like any investing app I’ve ever heard of.
Didn't public change their fees this last year? Before they had almost 0 fees and they charge fees on everything.

On December 29 I sold 50 shares of bitforms and I didn't get my money from that trade
Great video

Hi Brendan, do you still feel M1 is not worth it ?
Is your class for beginners more for investment as an american , cause I saw you talk about 401k but I am interested in more world wide
Yeah the specifics are focused on American account types, but most of the class is about more universal concepts around investing. I’d say 75%+ is universal
Thanks ✨
Thank you
What about sofi is just same thing as ally?
which app should i use if i were from the Pacific ?
Brendan, I appreciate your thoughts about stock lending. It was thoughtful and informative. I searched more for your credentials and background, and would like a link to your LinkedIn or professional bio please. thank you, Barbara
I want to know which of the Apps you mention, is showing fractional shares added, as soon dividend has been received. ??
Can’t you just move the cash settled to the high yield account inside public yourself?
I have a question to be honest Mr.Brendan I'm seeing 5% APY on banks and CD's etc. But is there anything you can invest in that gives you a higher yield that you could recommend please ,🙏 thank u

POO. thanks for the information. ill take it into consideration when i switch the app im using
Team m1
I’d like to hear your thought on SoFi
Enough people have requested it that I’m making the video! Thanks for your input. Probably could take up to a month to get enough info and personal experience to make something quality
Trophy!! Awesome
No mention of Acorns fee waiver with direct deposit? Seems like a pretty good setup for a beginner or am I missing something?
Yeah I mentioned it in the dedicated video about acorns but yeah it’s possible if you’re willing to direct deposit $250+. I’d rather not personally.
this guy is awesome..
You’re awesome
what am I missing? Acorns starts at $5/month for the high yield savings. M1 Finance is only $3/month.
M1 finance just lowered their price about 2 weeks after I published this video
Team Wealthfront!
👍👍
Gotta love their robo/tax loss harvesting investment account. Wealthfront 💯
Being new to investing, why use more than one app to start?
Oh it’s a pain to use more than one so you probably shouldn’t. I just wanted to rate a bunch for you here
Pooh and trophy 🎉
What's the ticker symbol for the SoFi weekly dividend ETF you invested in during the Robinhood demo?
Apparently it’s been removed from Robinhood, WKLY, I’m not recommending it
@BrendanEvan Damn. Can't have too much fun I guess.
Ideas about both SoFi and Acorns together?
Whatever floats your boat
what app should i use to invest ?
Just watch this video 😑
Watched this for a whole hour just to realize that none of them are available in my country 🙂↔️
🙁 dangit

Which is the best app?

What were your main holdings for the last 10 years that helped made you a millionaire?
That’s a great question, one is a total stock market index fund (like VTI) and the other main one are a couple different 2050 target date funds
Schwab? Fidelity?
I say fidelity
What about Stash ????
What is your P.O V. About Eqifund, Delphi and Elevate
Never heard of any of them

Why is fidelity not in here?

@@BrendanEvan I'm trying to get back on track for investing! Where do you suggest? I was mostly gambling.
