The problem with Vanguard Target Funds are that they start too heavy with Bonds early on and get worse over time. I'd suggest if you go with them, then pick one that is about 10 years above your actual target date. Other brokerages offer better allocations but higher fees.
Mine currently is allocated at 10% bonds. Is that too much? I’ve heard that having some bond exposure isn’t a bad thing. But i'm also looking at advisory services to better my finance
Go for it. When it comes time to growth investing, I would not have any more than 10-20% Bonds in my portfolio. Following the guidance of a seasoned advisor did the trick for me, helped turn my one year salary to 5 figure monthly dividends.
Katherine Nance Dietz is the licensed advisor I use. Just google the name and you'd find basic info. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
thanks for putting this out, curiously inputted Katherine Nance Dietz on the web, spotted her consulting page and was able to schedule a call session, she actually shows a great deal of expertise
Investors are watching a large hedged-equity fund's quarterly refresh of its options positions and quarter-end rebalancing by portfolio managers to potentially influence U.S. stock moves at the first half of the year. However it has been stalling since last year. I have approximately $500k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth.
Find stocks with market-beating yields and shares that at least keep pace with the market long term. For a successful long-term strategy you have to seek guidance from a broker or financial advisor.
I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions. I got into the market early in 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me, so I sold off. I got back in December 2020 and this time with guidance from an investment adviser who was recommended by a colleague.
Please can you leave the info of your invstment analyst here? I overheard someone talking about how a couple made $200k during this red season. I need such luck lol
I'm a law enforcement officer in NC. We receive a law enforcement supplement to our pension which makes our pension 100% of our top 4 year income. Also have $350k in my 401k which the state contributes. Also we have the state Health care for life at the whole group rate which is $50 a month. With 6 years left, I currently make 83k a year, and i make all these bigger by trading with the help of a professional, i'm pretty sure i'm doing okay.
@@theresagarcia1218 My consultant is 'MARGARET ANN WARNKEN" I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterward. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online with her name if you care about supervision. I follow her trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so. She can help you get started.
I have 2 pensions, social security (currently spousal and will take the max SS at age 701/2) and I also am working part time and am well paid. So I think of those sources of income as my bonds. For that reason I’m inclined to keep my vanguard investments in mostly stocks rather than a combination of stocks and bonds.
What is the best way to profit from the current market, meanwhile I'm still undecided about investing $400k in my stock portfolio to get some dvidends and minimize risk
Remember that investing in the stock market carries risks, and it’s important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
With the help of an investment advisor, I was able to diversify my $550K portfolio across multiple markets, and in just a few months, I was able to earn over $950K in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks, ETFs, and bonds
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon , and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
I used to be a fan of Vanguard but due to the choices they made to embrace the ESG movement I will be closing my Vanguard positions and moving them to a company that is focused on returns for shareholders.
I enjoyed your video very much. Some ofyour suggestions are part of the Vanguard Admiral group and not available to most of us. However, you offer great suggestions. Thank you Paul. Great information.
Thanks for this valuable information. Regarding Vanguard, in your article on a mix that beats the S&P500 by a mile, you recommend large cap value ETF RPV. The Vanguard ETF VTV is also large cap value. Would you also recommend VTV? Pros/cons?
Thank you so much, Paul. I have a question on your comment about living on dividends vs. selling shares for the cash you need. Wouldn't the tax be the same rate on long term capital gains compared to dividends?
A bit confused on Wellington 15 yr rate of return of 8.43% vs later in the video suggesting a safe withdrawal rate of 3 to 4%. If I retired now at 60 and took 8% withdrawals each year would I run out of money?
When trying to construct a portfolio that will support financial independence - the ability to retire if you want to and live entirely from passive income with the help Mr *Romero* *pieto* you can achieve that his indeed an expert in this field.
Even after watching most trading videos online I never thought it was ever possible till I got my first profit through Mr pieto , All it takes is to earn his good guidance.
I really do appreciate your help sir. I started of in this market not seeing the results I expected and not understanding why but ever since I started investing and trading with Mr Romero pieto I now understand and know the true worth of having an expert by your side .
I'm not finding anything close to the monthly payment on a $300,000 SPIA that you are showing....it's more like 5% or slightly higher. I'm 68, and I live in Texas....are one or both of those factors the reason?
But you sure do talk slow, and hem, haw, around, as if there is the time to just sip cocoa and eat popcorn. But maybe we should anyway, and treat it like a finance course in our saving and spending. But you don't talk about spending very much.
I do my best to assess the reward/risk and to invest in names that have significant upside potential. With Peter Lang at the helm of my trades. I have been able to build up a portfolio of shares that has generated a decent retutn of $367K in profit trading long term.
First, you should invest early enough, there's never a perfect time. Use automation to stay disciplined. Leverage tax advantaged accounts for faster results. Most importantly the stock market is versatile, cover risks. My FA handles that so I'm good.
I don't understand why any one thinks bonds are less risky than stocks. That might have been the case a few years ago but bonds today carry about half the risk of stocks while offering one third the return. Just look at the big downturn we had just days ago and you will see how poorly the bond market held up. Instead of a balanced fund I mix my stock portfolio with gold. With gold in my holding I know that not all my wealth is paper wealth and that I can lay my hands on my wealth in case an internet event takes place or something with the banks or some other events.I think the world of investing changed fundamentally last year and I think if Jack Bogel were alive today he would agree.
Go short term .corporate .less risk than treasury in terms of price volatility, interest rate & inflation risks.. Long term treasury are a disaster at the moment unless you hold individual until redemption date.
I lost so much money in the long Term Treasury Bond fund the last 4 months, 😢. My stock funds are fine. Good thing I don’t need the money right now, will transfer it once it goes up.
How do you feel about leveraged etfs like spxl and spuu go 20/20% and then go BNDX 60%. If you bought every Dip, you would end up with triple those returns over time because stocks have longer bull runs than bonds.
Too much old style thinking,and keeps getting permeated by folks like this. There is ONLY ONE fund for ALL. It is the USA Economy, the domestic USA Stock Market. The process is based upon 80% Stocks, and 20% Bonds...the 'bonds' are also used as stock 'dry powder' in case of stock drop of 10% or more. Think of it as an internal bank, as the stock account will have to return the value 'borrowed' back to the bonds sometime in the future. The Vanguard ETF's I use are: VTI and BIV, that's all folks!
Good mix, beats a lot of others. I ran it through a back-test, but if you use good managed funds like VPMAX and PIIMIX, you can go 50/50 which lowers volatility and still beats VTI/BIV, or if your like me, I like to diversify a bit more and use all 4 of them. By the way VPMAX and PIMIX at 80/20 has a max drawdown slightly less than VTI/BIV, but a lot more return. I also like well managed long term balanced funds like PRWCX, JABAX, etc...but for most of them, you do have to give up some return for the peace of mind in volatility.
Mike..I think that’s great advise fir inverstors 10 plus years away from retirement,but allocating assets to fixed/bonds really makes sense as you approach and enter in to retirement. Capitol preservation in the short term can be critical to that group..and allocating,say,40 to 50 percent to bonds/fixed investments is just the sensible thing to do. I don’t consider it “old school”.
Great video! Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Excellent presentation. I agree that annuities should form part of a Retirement portfolio. Timing is important. At current rates better to wait until you are 70 or 75 if you are younger and have enough capital, as interest rates are expected to rise. Fixed annuities have some inflation risk but no other Financial risk if the provider is sound. They also provide a protection against wealth taxes & government "grabs" which socialist administrations have an appetite for!!! A purchased annuity/pension is tax efficient only the interest element being subject to tax. The balance of blended funds is the statistically proven best long term least risk Investment plan for the average investor who isnt into speculation.
Have you asked vanguard where your money has gone, sounds like fraud. I'm sure uk government bonds, haven't lost that much in such a, short time if ever

You have been added to my UA-cam playlist a private citizen and a Vanguard investor in Melbourne Australia
As always, Mr. Merriman, your presentation was exceptional and very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you so much you gave me courage to do this on my own!
Vanguard removed their annuities, last year. Does that tell you something about the value of annuities?
I used to be a fan of Vanguard but due to the choices they made to embrace the ESG movement I will be closing my Vanguard positions and moving them to a company that is focused on returns for shareholders.
Are you moving to Strive Funds?
I prefer to have index funds that have an expense ratio less than .05%. Such as, S&P 500, Mid Cap and Small Cap. Intermediate Bond Fund is at .07%.
This is a fantastic video Paul! Thank you for consolidating down all this information and for planting the concepts that one has to consider.
