  • I think I'm becoming the $5 a Day Investing Guy - and I love it! But...what happens when the stock market DROPS and you end up NEGATIVE. Was the $5 a Day Investing even worth it? Or a complete waste of time (and money)? I reveal my portfolio and more on this second week of April 2024, when the S&P 500 has it's worse losing streak since March of 2023.

      Those rate cuts are priced in at the beginning of the year which they said was A. I. Bull trap rally. There’s definitely a 10%-20% panic sell off when JPow announced a rate hike of 100 Basis points.

    I know the market is down, so as an Aussie thinking of doing the $5 a day ($8 aus) in SCHD lol. It's easier to buy US at the moment as Australian stock market needs a $500 min buy in.
    Is there any others that might be worth looking at? The SCHD is roughly 5.3% returns in $aud. Mix that with our all index S&P 200 with a 4% returns and that to me seems pretty strong.

    I could not agree more its really about how many shares u have in VOO or any stock to see massive long term growth .And here is why lets just say u have 100k Just into VOO when the stock market does good those gains are going to be so massive in 1 day that u will thank yourself u still invested money into the stock market.because people might not think its possible but that 5,000 u have now in just too 30 to 40 years from now for me it could be 1 million plus in reward.

    So is the market about to drop like in 2022? Because I lumped summed 3.5k into SCHD and 6k into qqq, so far I’ve lost 600 and if it’s just going to keep going down I might as well sell and buy when it’s low like in 2022, there’s no point in waiting over a year just to break even again

    During these long slides when I was just getting started, I made it a game to try and make sure with every monthly statement that my portfolio value did not reduce. In other words, if it dropped, I put in more money. Eventually the portfolio got large enough I couldn't win at the "don't let it drop" game. But that means I won at the investing long game.

I have subscribed to your channel and your discord channel just because of your honesty, I think that I am going to give up my Starbucks Coffee for $5.00 a day towards a solid dividend stock SBUX. Get it? SBUX is Starbucks. I'm using myself as my market analyst. I love Starbucks just like you and many, many more. So, instead of drinking away my $5.00 I am investing it in SBUX. Let's see where this goes in a year.

    We are putting a lot into FXAIX and SCHD and a few others. The thing is we have no debt no mortgage and a decent emergency fund. If our investments went to zero we still will own our home and feed our faces. But still I think we all need to hear the old saying, invest what you can afford and buy low sell high.
