I dont have that much extra money so I basically can only invest in VTI, I won't be stupid rich but by time im warren buffet's age ill have 6 to 10K a month from dividends
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2025, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks next year. Hope to make millions this 2025.
It's crucial to have a well-thought-out strategy and not make impulsive moves based on short-term market fluctuations. You should consider a market expert to guide you.
It's true that many people minimize the importance of advisers until their own feelings burn them out. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant boost to keep my business afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Lisa Grace Myer for about 4 years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.
I just googled her name and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a call.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mr Garrett
This is really insightful! 2025 It’s great to hear about the success you've had with Coach Garrett Eaton’ guidance. I’ve been looking to start myself and would love to learn more about his approach. Where can I find him, and is there a particular way to get started?
Surprised to see him mentioned here! he tailors trading courses to suit beginners’ needs and really knows his stuff. His advice has been invaluable to my trading journey-definitely worth it!
Why would you want to own oil companies if the supply of oil is going to increase? Wouldn’t that cause price of oil to fall? Maybe you want to own individual companies that provide equipment and services to oil companies.
I am not onboard for oil. The world is awash with oil. USA is now #1 in production, Canada, the middle east and Russia are pumping at record amounts. Why would these large oil companies want invest if the price will drop with more production. And china is going all in on EVs lessening their demand. Too risky
Will you suggest a lump sum 100k being put in one ETF or to spilt it up to 50k over 4 months , depositing when there is a dip. But looking at it, VOOseems to be on the rise all the time😂
I lost over $120,000 investing in $GME and $BBBY, which was very depressing. Now, with low risk tolerance, I want to invest wisely. I’ve been researching index funds, ETFs, mutual funds, and growth stocks. I want a simple portfolio with about 3 holdings.
I love SCHD and currently own 604 shares. I regularly buy more shares, but I also invest in growth stocks/ETFs. Right now, I focus on growth, but I plan to switch to dividend-paying value stocks/ETFs eventually. It’s advisable to seek guidance from a financial advisor for a well-diversified portfolio instead of relying solely on speculations.
I couldn't agree more on the importance of expert financial guidance! With my demanding schedule, I knew I needed help navigating the stock market. So, I consulted a pro and invested in 2020 during the pandemic. Fast forward four years, and my portfolio has surged to nearly $1 million! It's been a game-changer.
Rebecca Dolva Watson is the licensed advisor I use. Just google the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
Hey Professor G! Hoping you can help me through my thoughts here. Yourself and many others have suggested due to Trumps presidency that it MAY be a good time to look into energy stocks. My question is won't Trumps policies of expanded drilling and reducing energy costs cut the profits of these companies causing the energy sector to fall? During his first presidency, we saw some of the cheapest gas prices and also saw the stock prices of companies like Exxon and conoco hit dirt cheap stock prices. What are your thoughts?
This is a great video to look at different sectors in the market, and to see what could be affected in this next Trump presidency. On small caps, personally I prefer AVUV. It may be a new kid on the block, but it has a lower expense ratio than XSMO. AVUV expense ratio is 0.25%, and though it hasn't been around as long, in the last 5 years it has had an average return of 14.12%. Not bad for small caps. Adding a small caps to a solid portfolio just allows some extra diversification, and historically small caps have done much better than the large caps.
Yes that's a plain foundational ETF as he describes, the entire point of a sector ETF (and the video) is that you are trying to outperform a basic S&P 500 fund.
Not bad positions! It is very easy to buy in on trending stocks but the problem is knowing when to sell or hold, which is why having guidance is important. This is very crucial for asset allocation. I have 850k in equity, 275 cash earning 5.25 interest, 685k in 401k, 120k cash account, 80k in car assets ( paid off cars) Gold and silver bars. age is 48. My advisor helped me realign my portfolio to my risk tolerance and it boomed to over 80% in a short while.
I want to reap the benefits of small caps this year, but I don't understand how to benefit from a small cap ETF. If small cap companies do well, won't they grow enough to move into mid cap range and leave my small cap ETF only to leave me with not much? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how these funds work. Maybe i just need to watch how often the fund rebalances and take profits before they remove to big gainers.
I made $32,590 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last month.i started with 5k in last week 2024..... now i just hit $32,590
If you’re serious about investing, I’d suggest consulting a financial advisor instead of diving in blindly. They’re more affordable than you might think and have a much better understanding of market trends.
I’ve always been passionate about this topic and really want to get started, even with the basics. I believe this is the direction the future is heading. Do you have any recommendations or contacts who could guide me?
Absolutely! Grace Lorraine Austin is an expert who stands out in this field. She’s incredibly skilled at interpreting market trends and identifying profitable investments. Her strategies are well-researched and based on years of hands-on experience.
Cryptocurrency certainly has potential, but it’s important to approach it with caution. Having a financial advisor can be invaluable in navigating when to invest and when to pull out.
Looks like both FSMD and XSMO are great. Thank you guys, I am surprised I never heard of them before. There is so much advertising about Avantis and Dimensional ETFs for mid and small cap ETFs everywhere, but FSMD and XSMO may be even better.
Yep, I bought FENY last week for the AI Revolution, FUTY this week for the AI Revolution, and AVUS as a core holding in one IRA last week. AVUS includes U.S. Large, Mid, and Small-cap companies in its portfolio. AVUS - Avantis US Equity is better than the S&P 500 IMO. "AVUS is an actively managed portfolio of US equities of all market capitalizations, with a bias toward smaller, more profitable or value companies."
I like the multifactor, has lower % in top 10 holdings (only 5%), lower expense ratio of .16%, like the diversity of the types of holdings, and great Morningstar ratings/risk, but hasn't been around very long, only 5 years now, but performance has been good over 10% return for 5 yrs.
@@NolanGouveia the other sectors you have presented us. High yield by investing in high greenhouse emitting energies feels wrong. That's all, want to invest responsibly. Following my own morals and dreams for our future.
I am already ahead of you Professor G the energy sector is already 8.5% of my portfolio. Vanguard Small Cap ETF and Vanguard Small Cap Value ETF combined is 7.25% of my Roth IRA balance of $43,650. The two foundational ETFs in my Roth IRA are State Street S&P 1500 Market Cap SPTM ETF and State Street S&P 1500 Value Tilt VLU both hold about 90% of US stocks both are 49.5% of my Roth IRA; SCHD 19% the rest are sector ETFs and covered call ETFs like JEPI and JEPQ.
Values? You like men in women's sports and bathrooms? You support having illegal immigrant criminals running about freely? You like high taxes and high inflation? Nice values!
When you give recommendations of ETF’s to look at, can you tell us if they are foundational, growth or dividend in case we want to add those to a % of that area in the 3 fund portfolio. Or teach us how to determine where they should go. Thanks.
Professor G the only thing is I hold XLE in a taxable account, some say it's not a good idea due to the high yield. Do you think I should continue holding it in a taxable account?
Once again, G, info reference to today's current events is spot on. I fully agree with all of your posits. I do have concerns with small caps, as they have not followed through with market expectations, but in general, I agree small caps are "due" for a good run soon. Thanks again. sgtfish.
Great insights into how different ETFs might perform under Trump’s presidency! I really appreciate the detailed breakdowns of sectors like energy and small caps, especially with the potential policy impacts. I also agree with your point about having a solid foundational ETF like VTI or VOO in your portfolio - (I personally use SPLG) -- it’s a smart move for long-term stability. For anyone thinking about ETFs, it’s always key to weigh fees, dividend yields, and long-term growth potential. Keep up the great work simplifying these complex topics for investors-your explanations are super helpful!
Does any of the strategy depend on him executing well? I'm concerned about that because deep diving into everything he did last term, none of it was actually as effective as intended. I think financials are always great though! Ultimate value stock backed by the government effectively now lol
What did I miss? He said 5 ETFs then listed 7 or 8! And in 4 sectors For the first two, he gave two options, then his favorites Energy XLE Small Cap XSMO Financials VFH Whole Market Either: VTI, VOO or SPLG.... That's 4, what did I miss?
Canada here eh?! Don't listen to our Government. We are looking forward to watching Trump get the US back on track. Whatever happens in the US affects Canada. A positive move to being profitable in the US will force Canada to follow suit. None of my stocks are Canadian. All US.
My philosophy is a 3 category portfolio with as little amount of ETFs as possible. Some of these fit in the category as options, so no I think this goes well!
@dae8894 his 3 fund portfolio is the absolute, simplest way to invest wisely long-term, without doing any homework. Some people may take on more risk if they feel certain sectors will out preform others. So they may add a sector specific etf to their po 9:19 rtfolio.
Correct, they do have a lot of overlap but VTI does have some smaller holdings as well. So, if you were going to put 10,000 in VOO anyway, just split that investment and do half and half. 😊
Four years ago, I put all my money into Pardoning Family Members, Inc., the High Inflation Corp., and the Flooding of the U.S. with the Third World Company. I've made off like a bandit(o).
Tariffs, deportations and deficit spending will DESTROY America's credit rating! Expect inflation, interest rates and unemployment to DOUBLE by the end of the year! Then stocks crash 50% for years!
Price of oil usually goes down with Republican admin so some segments of the oil sector will do much better than others. I'm sticking with pipeline companies like EPD and ETP that are not dependent on oil prices.
What are the best ETF’s when Recession hits? With costs of tariffs, removal of cheap labor (immigrants), and higher inflation (Trump pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates), recession if not depression seems likely.
For energy I like MLPX. I have xsmo but also like AIRR (industrial small cap) and FYC. I like kbwb and iai for Financials. Also UTES!! Utes is defensive yet an AI play. Voo is overhyped. Spmo and add value etf for balance like wtv...both outperform voo. Spmo is low in tech....no problem... add smh/ vgt. Also xmmo.

That last one is two separate things
What about the AI sector? Is there an ETF that contains the AI companies involved in Project Stargate like Oracle, Palantir, etc?

Voo
XSMO? What about AVUV?
Yup both are great!
You didn’t join the dots on the case for XLE - surely “drill baby drill” increases supply which typically leads to lower prices so why will XLE go up?
thinking the same
Agreed! Since supply is increasing, transportation and storage of oil will be in high demand. Midstream is a better route to approach, imo.

My philosophy is a 3 category portfolio with as little amount of ETFs as possible. Some of these fit in the category as options, so no I think this goes well!
@ the three categories being foundational, growth, and whatever the SCHD one is correct?
@dae8894 his 3 fund portfolio is the absolute, simplest way to invest wisely long-term, without doing any homework. Some people may take on more risk if they feel certain sectors will out preform others. So they may add a sector specific etf to their po 9:19 rtfolio.
Im buying ORCL
Should someone that follows your 3 fund portfolio and keeps it basic with one ETF for each add in some small cap (long term?)
What investment advice do you give your young students who might like to live on a planet with a healthy environment?
So expand from the 3 fund portfolio to 7 funds?
Not necessarily
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Thanks prof g !
Has February been a bad month for the stock market?
You mean is February usually bad? It just depends
Professor, what about AIQ and QTUM? Trump even said AI and Crypto will be the focus.
Brand new investor here. Thoughts on my portfolio?
25% VOO, 25% QQQM, 25% SCHD, 25% VFH
More drilling plus more EVs equals LOWER prices/profit for fossil fuels!
Or doesn't supply and demand work anymore?
Any thoughts on Crashie Wood's ARKK etf during Trump presidency ???
I’ve never really believed in the hype of that fund and I still don’t
@@NolanGouveia Thanks for reply Im stuck in it !
You a g my g
I appreciate that!
RWJ and AVUV are also great small cap funds
Agree!
HXS, HXQ and VDY dollar cost averaging weekly up here in Canada 😮
Thanks for indexing your videos!
A less volatile Energy ETF is ENFR and EMLP
Isnt the Prez trying to drive Oil / Gas prices down ?
Please let us know what you think about Stargate.
Pauses the video to buy XLE!😂😂 Thanks professor, ❤ your content! Now, back to the video!
You rock!
VOO and chill.
Voo is overhyped. Spmo with smh and wtv for value. Also mlpx and utes. This combo superior to voo.
Yep. VOO has no exposure to the small-cap sector.
@@dogeeeeeee574VOO is safe for those of us that want low risk. Yes that means low returns but that’s a personal choice
Is it crazy to invest in VOO and VTI at the same time?
Not crazy but inefficient. The overlap is very significant
Correct, they do have a lot of overlap but VTI does have some smaller holdings as well. So, if you were going to put 10,000 in VOO anyway, just split that investment and do half and half. 😊
Muito bom!
seriously great stuff here. Thanks for all the tickers, and all the thoughts!
SPMO 👍
Buy stock in Crime Inc. The next 4-6 years are going to be off the charts.
Yes, sending all the traitors from the Bi-dumb administration to prison will be big!
Four years ago, I put all my money into Pardoning Family Members, Inc., the High Inflation Corp., and the Flooding of the U.S. with the Third World Company.
I've made off like a bandit(o).
@@napoleonwilson3912 Yeah, Joe got rich from high inflation. Cult45-47.
What do you think about fxaix?
It’s a SP 500 fund so it should be part of your foundational allocation if you choose it instead of VOO
Perfect one!
@NolanGouveia I have a large amount of money on sidelines . Should I wait till end of year or 212$ would double in 7 years and throw it all in now lol
Bought some MSTY
Keeping us on track as always - thanks.
Tariffs, deportations and deficit spending will DESTROY America's credit rating!
Expect inflation, interest rates and unemployment to DOUBLE by the end of the year!
Then stocks crash 50% for years!
Price of oil usually goes down with Republican admin so some segments of the oil sector will do much better than others. I'm sticking with pipeline companies like EPD and ETP that are not dependent on oil prices.
All absolutely plucked out of thin air.
What are the best ETF’s when Recession hits? With costs of tariffs, removal of cheap labor (immigrants), and higher inflation (Trump pressuring the Fed to lower interest rates), recession if not depression seems likely.
IGV for oracle, microsoft, and palantir exposure among many others, ai software boom incoming
Had great returns with
QQQ, IVV, SPMO&DGRW
Che k it out!😅
For energy I like MLPX. I have xsmo but also like AIRR (industrial small cap) and FYC. I like kbwb and iai for Financials. Also UTES!! Utes is defensive yet an AI play. Voo is overhyped. Spmo and add value etf for balance like wtv...both outperform voo. Spmo is low in tech....no problem... add smh/ vgt. Also xmmo.
