Great explanation of the ETFs. For a beginner using a tax-advantaged account, would this same 3-fund strategy still be the recommended approach?

wow what a explanation

Thank you, I finally understand all the different jargons.

I'm 67. Am I too old?

ETF is a big game

How can I make good profit as a beginner starting with 10k.

Hi John, I’m honestly at a point where I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve spent the last 8 months waking up early, watching every how to trade video on YouTube, and taking notes until my hands hurt. But when I open the live charts, it’s like I’m looking at a different language. I don’t understand the moves, I’m scared to click the button, and I’m still losing money. Is it normally this confusing at the start?

I’m 45 and unfortunately I got a late start but late is better than never. I started with 2500 and today im up to 4k. I’ve been buying here and there and so far my return has been around 10% in almost 4 months. With my almost 100k in BoA, they have given me zero in the last 4 months, so I think investing is not a bad thing. Little by little and I think I can make some money in a few years

Everyone talks about of what u say in the video but nobody talks about TAXES!

My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.

HOW CAN ONE MAKE GREAT PROFIT AS A BEGINNER STARTING WITH 10K..

it still complicated lol

This explained ETFs better than other videos I’ve seen.

excellent explanations

How can I make good profit as a beginner starting with 10K..

Good for the young . I don't have 20 years.

The aggressive portfolio hitting $600K is tempting, but I feel like most people underestimate how hard it is to stay calm during big drops.

I think there is more upside in VXUS/QQQ/VTI/VOO and few company stocks which I own. Finally hit the 7 figure mark on my portfolio I'm grateful for my cfp. who handles all my investments and ensures I stay above the market..

80% in VOO, VTI, VGT, VONG are the ones I’ve chosen with my investment advisor But Then businesses that I have personal stake in either using their products or lots of people in my circle who do. AMZN, TSLA, NVR. Along with ABBV and KO when I focused on dividends; make up the remaining 20%

Investing is a mental game it means going against the grain. Buy low, sell high, and stay patient when you'd rather be doing something else. It's 5% intellect and 95% temperament. Jessica Lynn Catalan helped me see the bigger picture, focusing on long-term goals rather than short-term gains

Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed at record highs, with the Nasdaq logging its longest winning streak of the century. I’ve got 300K mostly tied up in tech, but I’m looking to diversify for steadier long-term growth. I’m just not sure how to strike the right balance between growth and stability.

You cannot safely invest in anything while Trump is in office manipulating the markets at every level from regulatory manipulation to outright insider trading. Trump and his cronies WILL short the market in 2028 leading to a colossal correction and recession.

Excellent explanation!! A wise investor is a competent investor. Is there a middle ground opitoon where I split 5k into all 4 ETFs? What would be good starting allocation %s? I'm thinking VOO and QQQ stay the same, but put 10% into each VXUS and VTI? Or some other suitable balance? Then I can have a slice of every pie, right? Is this a good strategy for an older "beginner" with just about 20 years before official retirement age (not that I will stop working then)? What are tax impacts when withdrawing after retiremen aget? Are there penalties or rules like IRAs? How can taxes be lowered/eliminated? Can these ETFs be purchased in the name of my small business or can only individuals purchase them?

What if your timeline is five years?

I can save you time. If you have $5K and want to invest. Put it all in VOO and forget about it.

Gemini says
Is this true?

The video provides a financial framework for long-term investing, but it is important to understand that the projections mentioned—such as turning $5,000 into $250,000 or $600,000 over 30 years—are hypothetical estimates based on historical average returns.
Here is why you should approach these numbers with a balanced perspective:
Market Volatility: The video emphasizes that these projections assume consistent growth, but the reality of the stock market involves significant ups and downs (16:52). Past performance, such as the 13.64% or 17.35% average annual returns mentioned (12:35, 23:38), does not guarantee future results.
Risk Profile: The "Aggressive Growth" portfolio (21:22) relies heavily on technology sector performance. While this can lead to higher gains, it also exposes the investor to deeper losses if that specific sector underperforms (22:43).
Mathematical Compounding: The math behind the growth is based on the principle of compound interest (18:45). If the market returns mirror historical averages, the power of time and automatic dividend reinvestment can build significant wealth (20:45), but these are not guaranteed outcomes.
In short: The strategy described is a standard approach to index fund investing, which many experts recommend for long-term growth, but no investment portfolio can guarantee specific dollar amounts 30 years in the future.

I will definitely go with ETF I have invested in Apple stocks but I didn’t see any progress in my trading journey thank you

So what do I do if I am now at the end of my working life and need more growth to supplement what little retirement I have?

This plan works the way it pricked ONLY if the next 30 years is like the last 30.

This explained ETFs better than anything I’ve seen. The part about doing nothing after investing really hit… that’s the hardest step. Makes me rethink how I’ve been approaching money lately

quá hay , video thật tuyệt vời

While "stacking bars" is a solid baseline for capital preservation, it’s not the only way to capitalize on volatility. I’ve been utilizing algorithmic execution tools lately to capture delta neutral gains, targeting about 300 ounces in weekly turnover during high volatility periods.

You can do everybody a favor by saying right in the beginning don't watch this unless you're 29 years old or younger.

Hi! great video! I'm trying to do my own spreadsheet based on yours but somehow I get the year one numbers right, but the year 5 won't, and the year 10 just doesn't appear like yours. For each year after one you are taking the Portoflio value as your starting amount and adding the capital appreciation and the reinvested dividens, right? but how are you growing your dividends? the div growth percentage goes way higher.

Excellent video and explain very well.
You guys explained better than me, and I will forward this video to my teenage 😀😀😀

My question is simply this, is .25% actually "Under 2 percent"? LOL.

7.6 shares of VOO for 5 k

Can anyone recommend how a beginner like me can start investing?

If we now buy these three etfs when the stock market reaches the historical high, we still can have this profit after 20-30 years from now on?

Very well explained..

I already have a Questrade account, can I use it instead of the brokerage you mentioned?
