      @@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

    I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or whenever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

    I've kept much of my savings in cash for safety, but I'm unsure if it's right for retirement. Contemplating investing $400K in stocks, as I've heard investors can profit in tough times. Unsure about my next move.

      It's impressive how much you saved during your working years, a feat not many achieve in a lifetime. Now that you're retired and rely on your investments, it's wise to redistribute your capital to mitigate risks during market fluctuations. Consulting a financial advisor can help simplify this process.

    • @Agatha.wayne0
      @Agatha.wayne0 29 дней назад

      Yeah, I’m also closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in more profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years.

    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

    In Canada, the MERs are some of the highest in the developed world, often bleeding off 2+%. My mutual funds for the better part of a decade didn't even net more than inflation. I have since moved my money to Questrade and invested in Vanguard's asset allocation ETFs. It's only been just over a year (and granted a very good one) but I've already earned about 12%. Anyone not doing this should focus on researching this and getting their money out of any actively managed funds. Thank you for the great info

    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?

    VTSAX... over 3000 companies in the fund with an expense ratio of 0.04%... great index fund to just set and forget. I personally use VTSAX as my real estate purchasing fund. I just cashed it out a few months back and bought a property. I plan on rebuilding it in 2020.

And a few moths later, today I have just invested my first few euros and set monthly savings into motion! It wasn’t easy as different countries have different laws, firms and costs, but I made my dream of investing come true thanks to you guys!! You are the best!❤️

    This is really good stuff, but I wonder if since there's so much invested in index funds following large companies such as the ones in the S&P 500, won't those companies end up being over-valued, since so much stock in those companies is automatically from the index funds? It makes me think that the companies that are almost but not quite big enough to be in the S&P 500 might be particularly good investments since if they can get big enough they'll get that huge boost from all the funds invested in the S&P 500!

    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.
