Can You Lose Money With Index Funds (The Shocking Truth!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2024
- Can you lose money with index funds? You can lose money with index funds if you panic sell when the overall market is down. Index funds are unique in that a broad-based index fund doesn't change very often, but it does adjust when companies go bankrupt and another company comes and takes its place. Index funds are probably the best example of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to investing that will work well for 99% of people. One big fear that every new investor has is losing money, and it's a scary possibility when you closely follow the stock market's day-to-day fluctuations.

Great video ❤
Thank you!
does the time you purchase matter... i.e. if the market is low when i invest in index funds will I see larger gains over time or does it really not matter and just track the overall market. Thanks so much for the advice!
Assuming the market will return to its peak and beyond then yes it is better to buy low. however, that is market timing and market timing is extremely difficult/near impossible. It's generally better to continuously invest for the super long-term (lifetime). I hope this helps! :)
@@OnCashFlow this helps a lot, thanks so much for the reply! :)
@@averygump Of course! :)
Thank you, I started freaking out because my losses showed $69.... I hate losing money lol
how about now 2yrs later and our sp500 index is a LOT higher then 2yrs ago
Zach...your thumbnails! Hee Hee 😁
I need to get into Index Funds. I am going to spend some time on all the videos you have on them...to really get a better idea of what I am getting into.
I enjoyed making those haha. Honestly there are so many amazing resources out there that can explain index funds so much better than I can, but I truly appreciate your support!
If you are willing to learn then here are some great resources that have really helped shape my mind on index fund investing:
JL Collins "Stock Series
jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/
Book: "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing"
Podcast: ChooseFi
Good luck in your research! Always make sure you understand something before investing in it!
@@OnCashFlow Thank you Zach!!!
I just turned 18 and i want to start investing my money but i still don’t know exactly what to do, I heard about index and now I’m doing researchs... Any tips?
I suggest that you read JL Collins stock series! And of course, never stop learning!
How do I see exactly what I got in there where do I go to type it
I'm not sure what you mean?
Please, i am from africa. can i still invest and how do i go about it?
Sorry, I don't know the specifics of investing in your country...There are many different countries in Africa, and I would think that the answer would differ drastically between many of them.

As long as one reminds oneself that the money one is investing in the long range account(s) won’t be needed (because you carefully planned it that way) until age 50 or 60 or 70, then the emotional endurance side of investing is easier.
What do you think about creating an account drawdown strategy video? Do you think there are enough people interested in it, because I know you and I are!
OnCashFlow if it stays simple, doesn’t get into complicated time segmentation, I see value it it.
@@dmoon9037 Ok It's going on the backburner!
A friend told me that when indexes lose value, they are "on sale." This is based on the historic trend that the market will recover. I plan to buy into the S&P this month.
That is the way I see it as well. Always look for the positives. If you are investing for the long run then buying shares as soon as you can is always a smart move!
