    Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

      People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

      Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

    Quick notes for new investors: 1. *NEVER* use an "advisor" you find in a youtube comment thread (including all the ones you'll find below). 2. If you just walk into a bank to talk to someone about investments, they'll likely be more sales agents than genuine advisors, trying to sell you the bank's (possibly expensive) products. 3. Deep dive The Plain Bagel's videos, and the other channels he sometimes lists (e.g. Ben Felix) to pick up a bunch of great tips, learn how it all works, and things to watch out for and avoid (like your buddy telling you to jump on the latest fad).
    This can all be confusing, but it doesn't have to be complicated. Good luck!

    If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

      I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 150K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities.

Some may have no account minimums and charge annual management fees of less than 0.5% per amount managed. Self-directed investment accounts have the lowest fees and give you the most freedom, but the risks are higher. A safer choice is to hire a financial advisor and let them guide your investment strategy.

      I see no reason for stressing yourself over these things when you can get a financial advisor. A financial advisor can help you determine if dividend investing is a good fit for your financial goals and can help you develop a strategy. They can also help you consider your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and short- and long-term goals. Consulting a financial advisor can be especially helpful if you're new to buying and selling individual dividend stocks. You can also ask your advisor questions about reinvesting your dividends.

      Mechanics charge for things people “can/should” do on their own too. Same thing for computer repair services. And basically every service out there. Unless you have a disability you can learn how to accomplish literally everything in your life outside of select medical treatments, but you can’t learn all of them at the same time, or in one life.
      Personally I’d go to a mechanic every time because I want it done right, and my time is better spent doing other things. No shade to people who do this stuff themselves, that’s awesome. They might be the sort to pay someone to fix their computer which is cool too, even though that’s not something I’d ever do. This is why humans, as a species, are so successful: We don’t all need to know everything, instead we can trade for skills and knowledge of others.
      I’m a DIY investor, but, knowing one person that charges people for things their customers could do themselves is actually two stupid reasons to not get an advisor:
      1. They know more than you, and actually know to so these things that people could do for themselves. Knowing the things to do is the first step in doing them, and actually doing them is the second, if people aren’t doing it themselves (for whatever reason) and if paying someone else to do it costs less than the benefit, what’s the problem?
      2. The fact that you’re friends with an idiot doesn’t mean everyone in that profession is an idiot on too.
      You do you, obviously. I don’t have or use an advisor myself, but I’m comfortable with my knowledge at this point. That will change in the future, assuming things go well.

    This was a really well-balanced take, but I think it overlooked how HUGE the cost of a financial advisor can be over a lifetime. If you make market returns with an advisor who takes a 1 to 2% (or more) per year, the lifetime cost of that advisor for an average retirement saver can easily be $100k+ and if you live a long semi-prosperous life with 95th percentile wealth, maybe $500k+. When you think about numbers like that, compared to the amount of work it takes to learn how to manage and invest a passive or semi-passive portfolio, the answer is clear. This video really made it seem like it was a 50/50 argument, but in reality 95% of people are fully able to learn how to manage their finances appropriately in a few weekends with resources available online for free. For those with more complex financial situations, it might make sense, but those people are a minority. Anyways, love the channel and sorry I nitpicked this one to comment on

Why couldn’t he do for me what he’s done for himself ? The truth is that they can’t anyway because they are rule bound these days.

    I think the era of a financial advisor who will handle your relatively straightforward stock portfolio with minimal input from you is over. Target date retirement funds and roboadvisors have filled that role. Now a financial advisor needs to earn their keep by proactively managing complex situations, not doing the exact same thing a 3 fund portfolio does while costing me 95% less.

    My investment situation is that I can't tolerate losing any money, I need a return that after taxes keeps up with inflation, and I anticipate to need some or all of the money within 3 years.
    And in this market environment I'm convinced that this is impossible. "Risk free" returns don't keep up with inflation, even before taxes, and a three year time frame prohibits any investments that might go down in value. At this point, 3 year bonds offer about the same return of a "high yield" savings or money market account meaning that even if inflation is really "only" 2% over the next 3 years, that's a guaranteed loss of $1,700 for every $100,000 saved. What do I need to pay an investment advisor another $1,000 per 100k for? To offer me comfort that I'm being eaten alive?

    Q's 1) can an advisor/account manager force through their actions the investor to take capital gains (e.g. rebalancing the portfolio, liquidating a position that is showing bad indicators)?
    2) if ETFs/indexes are "safer investments" because they have historically had net positive value, isn't this a contradiction of the philosophy of "past performance is not an indicator of future performance" or "this is just too big to fail"
    3) not even butter on the bagel?

I might see a stock with sound fundamentals that is trading well below its intrinsic value and want a second educated opinion before committing significant funds or I might wish to refine my method for selling covered options. Can I get the assistance of a financial advisor for short term guidance like this?

    Been in the industry for a decade and my honest take is that if you aren’t prone to bad decision financially and you know how RRSP/TFSAs work (I’m Canadian) and you have less than 100k you should probably discount broker an index fund. The advisor you would get has a high likelihood to have less knowledge than you at that point especially at the banks. Once you have more than that I find usually the tax and strategy advice from a *real* advisor will substantially beat an individual investor paying no fees. And your fees will significant reduce as assets grow. I find the competitive pricing is around 1-1.5% on an entire portfolio for 500k but I’ve seen portfolios north of 1m being charged less than 1% on average. If your situation doesn’t sound close to this you are probably getting taken for a bit of a ride. Great video probably the best advice for finances I see online!

Instead take a look at the company and what they’re doing, If they solve autonomy, that’s a multi-trillion dollar opportunity that could literally replace 2 million+ jobs in America alone. They also will be selling around 20 million vehicles a year then, which if you do a simple calculation using an average selling price of ~30k and 30% margin (these are both low balls imo) is already 180 billion in pure profit per year. Then add on robotaxi revenue, insurance, and in car entertainment and you can see why I think the way I do.
