      I been putting 10% of my earnings, sometimes 15% each month into SPY/VOO. For about 3-4 years now. I tend to sometimes buy some crypto, but obviously those are much riskier. Generally speaking most people on RUclips tell you to invest no more than 10% of your earnings, however I read the book, I believe it was called Simple Path to Wealth, in which the author said to work/earn so much you can comofortably put 50% in your investment.

    thoughts on jepq as an index fund? its yeild rate is 7%

    • @JayFairbrother
      @JayFairbrother  2 месяца назад +1

      JEPQ is fine as an income fund (I actually own a bit of it), but I wouldn't consider it an Index Fund. It writes options contracts against an index in order to produce that 7% yield, but the goal of the ETF isn't to track and provide the returns OF the index like a true index fund would.

    What’s the difference between the vanguard fund and etf? Also, what’s the allocation between the suggested equities? I’m sure it partially depends on age.

    • @JayFairbrother
      @JayFairbrother  5 месяцев назад +2

      Basically ETF's trade like more freely like a stock would, mutual funds process any buys/sells once a day. Allocation totally depends on your age, your investing goals and how much risk you're willing to take on.

    can anyone explain the difference between index funds, mutual funds and etf's? I want to invest but there is like 3 different forms of "basket" investments...

    • @JayFairbrother
      @JayFairbrother  2 месяца назад +1

      Basically ETFs are funds that trade just like a stock would, you can buy & sell any time during the trading day for whatever the current price is. Mutual Funds only process their buys/sells once per day and everyones trade processes at the same price. Mutual funds also typically have a minimum initial investment, where ETFs dont. "Index Fund" just refers to a type of mutual fund or ETF that passively tracks an index (such as the S&P 500), instead of an active fund where a fund manager is in total control buying or selling whatever he/she sees fit in order to try and maximize the funds returns

    • @aspreedacore
      @aspreedacore 2 месяца назад

      @@JayFairbrother so basically index is just a list of mutual and etf's and to invest in an index you invest in either a etf or mutual fund and mutual fund you can trade once per day but have a purchase minimum and etf's can trade multiple times a day and has no minimum? I'll look more into this when I finally understand my job's 403 B lol

      Fidelity has equivalent funds to all the Vanguard funds I mentioned here, for example their Total Stock Market fund is FSKAX. Just search up the names in fidelity and you'll find all of their versions.

    Bonds are only a good investment when interest rates or declining. If you think the Fed will be lowering interest rates next year, bonds may be a good investment in preparation for the drop. When interest rates are going up, bonds are a terrible investment, a guaranteed way to lose money.

    International equities only do well when the US is in a depression, e.g., after the Dot Com crash, which only affected the US. In 2008-09, it was a global depression which hurt everyone. However ,the US was in a better position to recover sooner than the rest of the world because the US was only somewhat Socialist whereas the rest of the world is *very* Socialist and had that albatross around their neck.

    So accounting for fees…what’s your total net? You might be surprised. All brokerage companies had to follow suit with Robinhood with no commission trading fees so where are those fees now…? You guessed it…ETF’s. You think there revenue went down after zero commissions nope they went three the roof …how..you guessed it raising all hidden fees in their etf’s products. It’s deep, deep I. The writing and sense nobody reads it…they jacked up the price and pitch these etf’s as the greatest thing to invest in cause it’s safe and it gets you all the best…not really.

      the vanguard etfs have an expense ratio of UNDER 0.10%. A literally insignificant amount and the lowest you'll find on any openly traded fund/etf.
