  • @richardjohnson1261
    @richardjohnson1261 Před 8 měsíci +4

    I like your content. the comparison you made is real and I think more people should be analyzing their paths similar to the way you presented your case. In addition, I think people need to know that, by investing in a broad spectrum of US stocks (VTI), they will have a built-in international portfolio. A large number of the largest US companies have an international reach and that's because those companies are succeeding in the international markets. Also, VTI has a 1.5% + yield as well as a positive ytd return. This covers all the arguments made for the 3 fund portfolio.
    Thanks for your insight. Cheers

    • @moneycessity
      @moneycessity Před 8 měsíci

      You don't want to focus solely on growth or dividends. It's more important to go after the greatest possible return!

    • @hiphopjewels
      @hiphopjewels Před 8 měsíci +1

      They seem to be focused more on growth, but their growth stocks pay dividends as well. Even the S&P 500 will pay you dividends of about 1.5%/year. Individual stocks like KO will too. You would get dividends quarterly, every three months. If you want to average it out per month, you'd assess your yearly dividend income for your portfolio based on the total value and dividend yield of the assets, and divide it by 12 to determine the approximate average per month.

Just make sure you do your own research before you buy any stocks or ETFs. Once you research you will find out that most AI ETFs invest in the same companies at the top 5 and then the diversification starts. The percentages will vary but the stocks are the same. MSFT, Apple, Nvidia, Google, Amazon are almost always the top 5 in almost every AI ETFs. Your decision would be in which other companies you want to invest and find an ETF that include those stocks.

    My husband and are both 60 and we have 500k in the stock market, for a year now, Fidelity has been managing our portfolio for the last but we have lost thousands! Fidelity has our portfolio diversified with many, many different funds and none have gained any significant increase, and we still have to pay a management fee! So my thoughts are that maybe we should relinquish Fidelity from managing our portfolio and establishing our own portfolio with the funds you have recommended. I feel like we've lost huge ground this year. Or is this happening to everyone because of the current economic crisis and should we ride it out with Fidelity managing our money. Side note, we do have several CD's and a high earning MM and rental property generating positive cash flow. No debits.

I recently sold out of VTSAX for VOO. I don’t see a year in the future let alone decades where a higher weighting of the top 500 companies underperforms a lesser weighting of all stocks, including the ones at the bottom of the barrel.

If you are not in your 50 's and near retirement you should not have bonds in your portfolio.
