    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

      I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes...

    Companies like intel and cisco pay out dividends though, which buffers the price - so it's not exactly a fair thing to say they never reached their previous high, as the value people would receive from having, say 100 shares and getting a quarterly dividend for 20 years isn't recorded in the chart price.

      @mythicalminotaur2115 Год назад +3

      @@BrettR39 be careful of the triple losses as well, these etfs are really terrible to hold long term. For example, if you enter QQQ and it drops by %10, it needs to go up 11% from the new low to be breakeven. If you enter at the same time with TQQQ it will fall 30% (because 3x), and as a result QQQ needs to now rise 14% for you to breakeven. So if it did rise back up 14% you would be up 2.6% on QQQ, and breakeven on your TQQQ hope that makes sense and invest well

    • @BrettR39
      @BrettR39 Год назад +2

      @@mythicalminotaur2115 haha, yeah it’s not exactly 3-1 to the QQQ. There is balancing based off buy/sell orders which fluctuates the price. The warren buffet rule gets really complicated from that point. The idea can also be looked at from the opposite direction, a large gain ends up being hard to lose. If you bought TQQQ at the bottom of covid, you would still have a 200% gain. Anyways, the market has never not recovered based off of a down-turn, so I’m not worried.

    Thanks for the transparency! TQQQ is a leveraged ETF. It means that if the market is going up, then the results are amplified. But if the market is even going sideways, you will be losing money on it. I don't think it is intended to be held for long periods of time, especially if your retirement is decades ahead.

    good video. but the key thing is how you invest going forward, or more importantly the funds you have evailabel to cover further market declines. a 500k portfolio with $2m sitting on the sidelines is no big deal. but if youre 500k in with only 100k to put in.. then if market dip another 30%- which could happen on tech.. you can't average down appropriately. basic formula is that if you think markets go down 10% keep 20%, go dwon 20% keep 30% IE you keep +10% more than the decline you think is possible, in cash., so for example google is around $95. it could go as low as $50 in a worst case.. seems nuts.. but could. thats basically a 50% decline.. so you should be keeping 60% in cash.. ie up to 40% invested.

      @@fromagedenoel Yes, he did lose the money, but not the amount of whatever he is holding to. It is worth less and he’s not able to get the same price that it was worth before, therefore he lost money.

    Can you do a video on your real estate portfolio? Are you investing as a limited partner or are you purcahasing and operating smaller properties?

    You should be very proud of yourself at 21 years old and investing. The opportunity these days is there for everyone’s taking, but the key is simply starting YOUNG… kudos and keep it up!

    you should not keep leveraged ETFs like SQQQ or TQQQ. They will decay over time.

    No point in holding VTI and VOO in the same portfolio as they have a 78% overlap. Would be better off choosing SCHD, VYM, or DGRO in your Roth account imo
