How on earth is all this information free? Am I a nerd for saying I genuinely found this video interesting? It made total sense and I had fun watching it.
They have a patreon account if you feel that guilty for consuming it "free." 😄
If you're American your tax dollars pay for them. They work for PBS
@@TJ-oo5mx The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is taxpayer funded but reportedly only accounts for less than 15% of the revenue stream of PBS. That's why they hold telethons and kindly request donations.
It's not free, youtube pays them based on daily/monthly views.
He means free in the sense that HE isn't paying anything directly, not that they work for free.
I feel investors need to be focus on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
I agree that there are strategies that can be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember years ago when I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k
This is definitely something I will consider! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

This channel is perfect for lowering the barrier to entry on financial literacy. You should try to advertise it to schools nationwide!
All thanks to funds_hack on instagram that dudes got me $5000 on my cashapp account you can also message him via whatsapp +1 442 900 1012. He has been a great helper to me and my family.
Seriously!
I’m in class right now watching this for an assignment.
Before this channel i always used to zone out when people talked about finance, now i can actually give MY two cents. xD
Wow, that's such an amazing change. The more you chime in, the more you're learn, and so and and so on!
Excellent video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Rozardner Mind Tricks Reality (just google it)? It is a good one off guide for revealing the trick to get the mind of a millionaire minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin after many years got astronomical success with it.
This is glorious, been searching for "can i buy index funds on robinhood?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Giyincoln Especial Genie - (just google it ) ? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering how to manifest success in life using this technique minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.

Well. Interesting graphics, simple explanations and some humor sprinkled here and there. THAT'S how education should work to keep people engaged.
"Aiming for average might be the best strategy of all"
That's what I wish she said :'(
I always recommend index funds and ETFs! They are probably the easiest way anyone can build wealth 😀👍
They can really be an effective and easy way to invest for the long term -- so glad you chose to join us Chris! -- P
No real estate or your house is better because you own, control and can manage it anyway you want
Money guy nope, no compound interest with a house "money guy"
@@jasonsanders8623 Are you insane? Have you lost your mind? Google what is Rent and what is Appreciation and what is Inflation. Real Estate will always be better than the stock market. With stocks, you don't have a fucking clue on what the fuck is going on in the company. Only the ceo and managers do. They can post a $22 Billion dollar loss like GE past quarter and you can't do shit about it.
Do you wanna pay rent for 70 years or for life or pay the mortgage for 10 years on a cheap $100k house? Which is more 70 or 10? Are you smarter than a fifth-grader? ruclips.net/video/FZL3J9NH4zM/видео.html
Money guy I’m not sure and wanted to ask: Don’t you pay more taxes with real state assets?
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
Angela Lynn Schilling is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an email shortly.
correction:
the fund has to make 1.4% plus the rate of inflation, just for the investor to not lose money! that would be ~3.5%!!!!!
You're right, if you're talking about the "real return" (aka, return after inflation). But we were talking about making more money, not *necessarily* higher purchasing power. Thanks for the clarification!
@@TwoCentsPBS That's fair. As an investor, the real return is the one that I look at when all is said and done. Thanks for your response to my $0.02!
The rate of inflation is a huge wild card. The inflation and market crash hit people at same time.
How are y’all making 4%????? I am only averaging 1.22% at the moment……..
I want Orlando to be my fund manager!!make it happen!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Best channel on the Tube
@North American RUclipsr _"Wassup everybody, I am Jaspreet Singh, and welcome to the Minority Mindset"_
Yes. Great info and given in such basic terms even I understand it 🤣
100% agree
I love the simplicity of index investing. From buying to selling all from your own home within minutes.
I swear, Phillips mustache grows more and more by the week.
that's how mustaches grow to be honest XD
Wait until Movember!
That's biology for ya!
Frightening.
We are already in a big crash Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.
Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner.
@@harrisonjamie794 I want to build a diversified portfolio based on my personal income. I am easily triggered/highly emotional, which could be detrimental to my portfolio. I hope I am a patient and systematic person. day trading is not for everyone and multiyear holding is not for everyone. I know my strengths that's why I need proper guidance to be able to venture
@@raychristopher7797 I have saved myself from all the hassle that chaotic market causes. These days the best way to come into the market space is by reading, studying, being patient, and seeking guidance when necessary, due to my line of work I can’t handle my portfolio so I just copy the trades of my FA. I saw her on Bloomberg business news. It’s been smooth since then.
@@harrisonjamie794 Please, how do I connect with your financial planner?
@@raychristopher7797 Surf the web for her info it's easier to get on her webpage.
I asked PBS for more funding for this channel on the quiz you give us a few months ago lmao
holy shit julia looks so different at the ending segment. I thought she was a different person!
Prenuptial/Postnuptial agreements would be a great topic to touch on!
Big time. Ever since i bought a house by myself i have been paranoid about the government giving it to my future ex wife

There are still real hackers dude
Love your videos!!
Can you do a video explaining employee stock purchase plans? I get it as a benefit for working for my employer and I just don’t know how it exactly works! Thank you!
They're confusing to be sure. I can see us making an episode about employer stock plans in the near future. Make sure you subscribe!
True that... I can testify to it.
I was given plenty of stocks, but then covid came and ate it all away... Including my job 😔
Just want to inform you, the link for Serving Up Science brought me to an old channel of theirs, I think. Cause I tried to doddle around and found PBS Food channel. Have the same host and theme. I think that's their channel now. Just fyi.
Love this vid btw. Julia is more blooming than usual. Thank you guys for all the finance info help.
Love these videos! Also the intro with the piggy bank is amazing 😂 Also, Serving up Science is an older channel? The latest video is a year ago :'(
They're doing a re-vamp with new episodes and a partnership with PBSDS! Check 'em out!
I learn more from you guys than I do in school. I love how you simplify the lesson instead of using so many complicated terms. The presentation is very basic appealing. That helps me focus.

So, you’re telling me that getting a cat would give me the best return on investment? Great! I wanted to get a cat anyways.
Only if you call your cat Orlando.

Very Informative! Thank You.
Step 1- Get out of debt as fast as possible
Step 2- Invest 15% household income
Depends on your interest rates. Dont waste money paying down low interest debt
You don't have to get out of debt to start investing.
Check out one big happy life's channel and they're thoughts on why you should invest no matter what your financial state.
Step 3- stay the course and don’t get distracted by shiny things!!
Step 0: live below your means
Step 1.5: build an emergency fund
15% of household income before or after taxes?
I was gonna explain this to my wife today, this is much better! Thanks
Such a phenomenal show. LOVE IT. Thanks to all who put effort into creating one of these episodes. Question: Just as mutual funds were the large investing vehicle of the past, index funds and FTE's are becoming the new large investing vehicle. What are new and up-coming investment vehicles that are slowly catching on now that 'might' be big in the future? How do they compare to the older types of funds? (mutual and Index / FTE)
Could you do an episode on how the index fund value is computed? Is it just one share from each company in the index? What happens when one company's share price goes way up or down? And how does the fund react to changes in the index itself? For example, a company can be removed from the S&P 500 index.
Two questions:
- When I invest in multiple index funds ti increase diversification, how can I minimize overlap?
- Tips for ethical investment with index funds (beside ESG variants) would be fantastic
For your first question: It's easiest to use index funds that don't have any overlap to start with, such as US stocks, bonds, and international stocks. I don't know about your second question.
'Beta' is a measurement on how a fund responds to market movement.
Blackrock has a sustainable ETF stock I invest in for ethical reasons^^
As far as diversification goes, you specifically recommended subscribing to ~3 index funds, which would already be a wide array of different investments. Do you have any specific rules of thumb as far as what percentage of your investments should go into index funds versus, say, mutual funds and other investments you've covered in past videos?
any 2cents for expat finances? like transferring currencies or what investment accounts can be used?
Index funds and ETFs are an excellent way to match market returns at a VERY low cost!
Great vid 👍
Honestly, you guys' videos should be played and taught in schools (i was never taught any of these things growing up), and maybe even have a focused / more detailed version of them on Udemy or a similar website as actual paid online courses for those willing to really delve deep into finance
Love this channel!!!
Thank you for explaining in detail! This is a great video!
Love this . I was actually researching what index funds are . A good coincidence.
Thanks for the channel recommendation. I am going to check it out.
Awesome as always, thank you both.
Watched around 10 videos of yours, finally subscribed :)
I've grown to love that mustache
Thanks dude!

Great video, can you talk about REITs?
Hey guys! I love this channel. I was wondering how one goes diy indexing. If I know what stocks are in the index, why can’t I just buy them all myself?
As a person who hates uncertainty, this really hits close to home. I'd rather have my investment grow at a constant rate than have it fluctuate between extremes or even go to negative figures.
Oh I'm glad I found these videos :) will be bingeing every one this weekend. Is a index fund a retirement package or can you pull out after ten years? Could someone point me in the right direction to a short term investment fund for independent contractors/sales workers? Those jobs are usually not lifelong and an exit nest egg could be a life changer.
EDIT: I see I asked this question 3 years ago. I'm returning to these videos in my last year in college for financial advising. I eventually felt capable of going for it when my casual vocabulary grew larger than the average Joe's. Thanks
Awesome channel! I hope this channel stays around for a long time! The U.S. population needs it.
Great vid, I learned more things about index funds thank to your vid! Can you guys think about making a video showing example of a portfolio of "3 or 4 index funds" that give AVERAGE annually nice return (7%) =) ? Thanks
Another great video! Thanks Two Cents!
This is one of my favourite Finance YT Channels! You guys are too adorable and the information on this channel is very valuable and informative. Thank you so much for creating amazing content!
Just a heads up, but you spelled John's last name wrong around 4:05. Love the video!
So glad I found this channel! I HATE the music 😂, but ❤ the content! THANK YOU for your priceless knowledge 👍
I have learned a lot in this channel. As a new college teacher here in the Philippines, this channel helps me understand finances better. Thank you.
Love this show
Love your channel.
Great video. I’ve invested a few different index funds.
Great video! Can you please do a video on Socially Responsible Investments, SRIs? Also, your link to Serving Up Science didn't work! FYI.
At least I have learnt something I had no clue before. Thanks
I love this channel! Thank you for all these videos :)
These videos are very, very helpful.
Long live Jack Bogle!!! I've learned from him more than from all others together.
He died earlier this year, so...
@@Jayhbentley King is dead. Long live the king!!!
Mr. Bogle died, but may his deeds live forever.
I was so excited to hear about Serving Up Science... but it looks like they've only posted 2 videos of 2:58 seconds combined time since 2018 (2:39 min for one and 0:19 min for the other). Do you know if they're posting more? or there're some hidden videos that I just could not see? Thanks.
Hey it looks like they posted the wrong link as those videos are now on the PBS Food channel here ruclips.net/video/qk9uv2SjkCw/видео.html
Great video!
I tell my non financial savy friends to watch your videos al the time. Great job and keep it up!!
This is like The Magic School Bus for adults
Could you do an episode that explains compound interest? Or maybe explaining the difference between revolving credit and fixed credit!
🤣Cheesecake Factory menu😂😂😂
great presentation, you just earned another subscriber
This is all interesting stuff, and it's teaching me what to do once I have money to lay with. But is there any advice you can give about pulling yourself out of poverty? So many of us tradesmen work 40+ hour jobs, (often more than one job) and still barely survive paycheck to paycheck. I myself am constantly one ER visit away from losing everything I worked so hard to build.
1. Sell things you don't want or use on online resale shops like Mercari.
2. Discover what you're REALLY GOOD at and turn that into a business.
3. Cut back on unnecessary spending and use what lil you have to start investing TODAY.
4. Research Passive Income here on RUclips. You can start making money in your sleep.
All the best

My wife and I love your videos! Keep up the good work
Any reaction to Michael Burry's recent statements about index funds and their saturation? Or, generally, what should the average investor do when what they're invested in is getting covered in the news but not in a particularly positive or negative light?
2:34 is incorrect the stat was 90% performed worse after including the cost of paying the hedge fund managers so the hedge fund managers actually very very slightly out performed the market but by such a small margin that you should not be paying them to make these investements.
So would it make sense to put the majority of savings in an index fund since the return is 7.4% annually vs high yield savings account that max out around 2.5% APY which is a little higher than the rate of inflation right now?
I love so much how easy you make these things! Love from Italy
I am learning something new everyday 😱
Wow!.. first time here, great vid
Great shirt
Is there any way to look up a list of indexes ?
I'd like to see a "from scratch" explanation for how "markets" work (how it started, where does the money come from?), how different kinds of "funds" work (again, how it started, where does the money come from), etc
I don't want any implicit assumptions in the model ("let's assume that this is how markets work. now, let's see how funds work"). No, I want a complete first-principles explanation to the world's financial systems, not just a black box understanding.
Can you suggest some books or resources?
I don't need 100% details, but I need enough details to feel that this isn't sorcery. I want to know the history behind how our current financial systems came to be.
A good example of such a resource for an unrelated topic, quantum mechanics, is the book "Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality" by Manjit Kumar. It explains how the need for quantum mechanics arose and what are the problems that it solves in our understanding of the world.
Great!
How and where do you go to invest in all this though?
Another great episode in you series that made me so much regret I didn't watch you earlier or tapped into investing earlier. I did that recently 2 weeks driven by stagnant business and dropped cash flow. I also liked the match of colors in your clothing's that is evident in each episode. :)
Kudos for mentioning Jack. What he accomplished is like an angel sent down from above to help the average investor.

Last week I split my pension funds 3-ways between a general low-risk fund, S&P-500 fund and general stock fund. Now to see which one does better :)
awesome
i love this page
So you said an index fund can be bought within an ira or 401k. Where else can I buy them and which one do you suggest?
Its kinda hard to trust a "professional" when most times all i hear is stories of awads who just take your money and invest it really badly
So Mr. Whiskers which stock should i pick this month?
Where do you invest into an index funds?

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Can you do one in Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL’s)? There’s a guy named Doug Andrew that talks a lot about them for your reference/research.
I recently got a job in asset management, your videos are a real life saver! Thanks you two!
Now that's a worrying thing to hear.

Can somebody enlighten me about using index fund for retirement? I understand that the value per unit grows as time passes. However, when I retire, as I do not get any dividends from index funds, I need to sell some units. Isn’t this right? Meaning as time passes, my units decrease and then will eventually become nothing. Isn’t it better to invest in dividend-paying stocks and just live off the dividends?
