  1. Thx
    No idea what to do now 😂
    But nice explanation

  2. I like how this video doesn't even mention Index Mutual Funds. John Bogle must be spinning in his grave!

  3. Rocking those NVDA, PALANTIR, TSLA, and APPL shares. Holding onto them for the long haul sounds good, but hey, I'm all up for grabbing those short-term chances too, aiming for that sweet $400,000.

    It seems certain stocks are undervalued, flying under the radar despite their potential. You can't help but wonder when the market will recognize their true worth. How can I invest $600K wisely to ensure our future security?

  5. @milanshah4 says:

    Correction: ETFs also change their percentages and at times, companies too.

  6. Investing in mutual funds offers a structured and diversified approach to building wealth, managed by professional fund managers. While there are costs and some limitations, the benefits of diversification, professional management, and ease of access make mutual funds a popular choice for achieving a variety of financial goals.

  7. This isn't really the full story but a decent gist of things

    I would love to DCA into ETFs for the next decades - if it goes up, fine. If it gets down, I'd opt to buy more Mutual funds.....Do you have better recommendations? I've got $250k ready money to invest and secure my future, I'm 31

  9. @FREEDMFTR says:

    That answered nothing - Thank you

  10. I love this short - to the point - video. Thank you!

  11. From what I've read, etf's outperform mutual funds and are far cheaper. Not sure if mutual funds have any advantage.

  12. Nothing is free. No one will get you rich. No one will just do the job for you. You don't deserve anything. Unless you are already rich, you don't get rich just by giving your money to someone expecting huge results while you sit on your lazy @ss watching stupid videos, playing games and posting about yourself.

  13. Mutual funds tend to have higher fees than an ETF product. Mutual funds can have high minimum investment requirements. With an ETF the minimum is the price of one share. The best thing to do is buy about 10 to 15 individual stocks and have everything else ETFs for diversification. You may want to consider Closed End Funds as well. Those are a bit more complex to explain.

  14. @BenAreCadet says:

    Still don't get it? Mutual fund is an automatic & Etf is a stick shift. are you committed to learning or no. you'll still get to point B.

  15. I would just go ETF and hold. I mean, if youre experienced at trading and want to penny pick then I get it. but for me, I feel going the ETF route is more independent yet still guided by someone picking out the stocks. So you have the flexibility to get in and get out if you want. Personally, I find ETF more secure if you stick with a good stock (VTI, VOO, SCHD etc) and just hold…. If were managing more, then I think i would be more in trouble to be honest.

  16. @pietjan2650 says:

    Buy the individual stocks etfs and funds steal your money

  17. An etf is a mutual fund that trades like a stock and in today's world they both have the same fees.
