It's time to invest in world index etf and avoid being only exposed to SP500, because in medium long term it's possible that USA will lose some strength in the global economy because USA just break trade relations trust with their former allies
Thank you for a great video. I'm always skeptical going into this kind of investing videos, since there is a lot of FUD and FOMO. But when watching your videos (starting with this one) I feel you calmness. You speak in a way that I see that you know what you're talking about.
ETF is good for passive investments, but what's your thought on DCA on dividend stocks?
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!❤️
What if, besides two or three ETFs in my portfolio, I add up 30-40 single socks, diversified in various sectors, and kinda build up my own ETF, so to say? Should I still expect to outperform other typical major ETFs?
Long term, do you think it's better to be in Developed World indices now or All World ones? I'm pondering because most developed world ones don't include China, and it's unclear to me if they would rebalance into China, should China surge.
Felix gas a stable job and good salary. He divides and invests weekly in low cost ETFs (and some stocks and REITs) and when market drops… He buys a bit more 🙂
I'm not so sure. That man basically broke world order that existed for 80 years. And if he'll continue in such manner he can cause new Great depresion (for example if US would not be able to pay for bonds). Just to remind you that during Great depresion 90 percent of the stock value was lost. It took many decades to restore value. As I have invested some money into ETFs I hope it would not happen. But…
😭I am lucky to come across you who make me see reality as it is, yes as a private investor to invest I tended to base myself on the return weighted according to time
In 2022 European asset managers liquidated funds investing in Russia at the absolute low and then investors couldn't buy any more due to sanctions. Who guarantees that the same won't happen even temporarily with the US ?
ETFs and index funds are your best friends as a beginner. Low fees, built-in diversification, and no stress about picking stocks. Use them as your foundation and branch out from there.
I made 12k last year doing bank switching and matched betting casino bonuses. I have invested the lot, along with money I would have normally invested, made a loss like everyone else but until that loss equals more than the money made from matched betting it doesn’t feel like I lost anything as none of that money was earned as such. I used the bank switching offers to start matched betting casino bonuses.
The reason I am saying this is because I think if I had just lost over 1k in investments without having made 12k from essentially nothing it would feel a lot worse. In reality it’s all the same, it’s all money but my mindset is different, I don’t worry about it.
I'm 41 and retired back in 2018 thanks to some investments I made during 2008 and lucking out with a great redundancy package a few years later that paid off our mortgage. My wife still works as she enjoys her job and we put 50% of our monthly income into investments and can comfortably live off the rest (we have no debts and our monthly fixed expenses are just utilities and food pretty much). I don't really pay much attention to the news or what Trump or anyone else is doing this day/week/month as I am not really interested nor can I control it.
I don't think in days or weeks or months or even years; I think in decades when Trump will most likely have passed away from old age. I know I am no way near smart enough to try and "play the markets" with day trading or trying to predict the future. Honestly I don't even think Trump knows what he is going to do in the next week so how on earth can I try and predict it?! I just sit back and enjoy my life for what it is today and not worry about 20 years down the road.
The last thing I am gonna do today though is take any of my money out of my investments out of fear of what "may" happen. I've personally seen several friends destroy their finances by reading the news and panick selling only to regret it weeks or even days later. Buying back in is almost always more expensive than just letting it sit when you factor in fees, taxes, etc. If anything I will have a tighter month with our non-essential spending and put a bit more into our investment accounts while they're low.
I am from Brazil and my english is not so good but and I want to say thanks for you does not speak so fast, so I could understand everything. I start this year to invest but after see this video I'm so peaceful and I will continue to invest. Thanks a lot.
What if while being relatively passive, you just use indicator lines to keep an eye on the index/ETF once a week or so? Examples like the 10/20/50 day moving averages? When an index is closing below a 10 day line theres a potential of a downward correction as the momentum has changed, when the 10 day average drops below the 20 day average, you have more confirmation that it might be time to sell and wait? Sure you might lost 1-2% if its just a bit of sideways momentum, but you then are also out the way if you have a 10% correction (and the same indicators can be used for buying back in at a lower level and holding there, example being 10 day going back over 20 day and value is going back up and hitting 50 days as a sign of the bottom potentially being hit) or worse, a recession which could wipe your account down 30-50% and take 3-5 years to get back to the peak position if 2008 is used as an example, or over 10 years from 2000 through to 2013 or so on the S&P 500.
Of course, taking any money you would invest and keeping it to the side for emergency use if there is a recession and if you dont need to use it, bulk investing it in when the dips likely stopped dipping.
The fact that Dark Eclipse AI is constantly improving is a huge plus. $DARK's future looks bright, and I think it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. What do you guys think about the project's long-term potential?
I’ve mainly got a passive portfolio, I’m pound cost averaging monthly, but have taken this as a buying opportunity and am also making changes to my portfolio to not be so a. Magnificent 7 heavy and b. Not so US centric. I’m paying into a global tracker, but also have the VanEck global dividend leaders, some ishares physical gold, some regional focus with the ishares continental Europe OEIC (only 0.5% charge with my broker) and have a few active funds. The Ranmore Global Equity is a contrarian fund which has been top quartile almost every year – it flies under radar but for me it well justifies its 1.0% ocf charge as it has no mag 7 and is value focused and evenly split around the world. A hidden gem.
Have you ever thought of having a Dollar Cost Averaging strategy, and when the market crashes, doubling or even tripling your reouccring investments? Given the fact that you are financially capable to do it and be aware of the financial consequences.
I find it curious that every investment video about the current events is focused on avoiding panic. What about the much more rational fear of missing out?
Think about it. If it is indeed smart to just keep investing in times like this, then surely that means you should be putting even more money into your investments in times like this. Logical, right?
But not everyone has the means to do that. Personally I don't understand the panic at all. If you think investing is smart to begin with, why would you be fearful when everything is on sale? But the real problem is the fear of missing the opportunity.
Say your cash position wasn't big enough and now opportunities are passing you by. Then what? It might be years before the next crash. What's the solution to this problem?

First time he actually has a good idea.

Im reassurred by where you went this video. I agree and im staying the course.
What breaks ETF investing is the 41% tax in Ireland which does not make sense at all. They should support safer investments.
Felix gas a stable job and good salary. He divides and invests weekly in low cost ETFs (and some stocks and REITs) and when market drops… He buys a bit more 🙂
Never sells 🙂

It is not the first crash and wont be the last.
Keep calm and stay in, do an autoinvest and check again in 20 yrs.
So Anna was right all along and in spite of what DJT is doing there's no hint of an example given about what could actually harm an ETF?
Is it less interesting to invest in US ETFs right now and to switch now towards global indexes?
In 2022 European asset managers liquidated funds investing in Russia at the absolute low and then investors couldn't buy any more due to sanctions. Who guarantees that the same won't happen even temporarily with the US ?
Index investing is not dead,
But the future will be in new world indices.
I would say diversify and don't be top heavy on US stocks plus put some in Gold and Bonds ..

Just stay calm, all in FTSE AW. See you in 30 years.

If 1 man is able to break any market… then the market was already broken before him.
