What's up beautiful people! Tell us something about YOUR portfolio! And if you missed the giveaway instructions in the last video last week, after watching this check that out! By the way, Fred Jaravata mentioned in a comment here how Crowdstrike Holdings fell off a clip in the last 4 days because of the IT-Outage. And I want this to be a lesson for everybody: In this video I mentioned that, despite the great financials AND performance, I was going to sell it very soon. And that's what I did 2 weeks ago, right after recording this video and a week before the IT-Outage! What happened is just temporary and Crowdstrike will go back up at some point, but in general remember: be skeptical when a stock goes great and has an above average growth for way too long, even if the financials have been "solid". In the video I said that despite the financial growth the company has risen to the highest revenue multiple of any public software company above 75 billion market cap, and that’s not a good sign. So the timing was perfect and the decision of selling 2 weeks ago even more perfect! Honestly, this is one of those situation where buying back with lower price can make you money, but you need to consider 2 things: 1) the price was way too high before, so even losing 25%, we might have barely gotten to a fair price now 2) when these things happen, like Meta in 2022 when they dropped a project to pursue AI, you never know exactly when they're going to come back up. So if you invest you must be ready to hold it even if it keeps going down, otherwise you sell with a loss
Another great video for Investors who actually want to start and not only everything you need to know to be a better investor .great job 🎉🎉keep going very helpfull Rick

@@rick.austin Its OK,my Portfolio Hit 2500€ Last month im Just a bit tired ,im so Happy when im finally Out of school ,Just another 5 years XD Luckily i have Holidays now And you ?

Exactly! I wrote in the comments that since the recording of the video is 2 weeks old, selling it all the day after recording I couldn't have chosen a better time. But the truth is, I've been lucky. I could have sold a week and a half later and be really unlucky. As you say, individual stocks are extremely riskt for the average investor!
Hi Josh, IETC is indeed an interesting ETF, I have to say. Although actively managed, the fees are low. It's not simply market cap weighted, which may help, and you got companies like Amazon which are not in pure tech etfs like VGT. Performance is somewhere between VGT and SCHG. But I have to say, i wouldn't compare IETC to SCHG. Maybe to VGT, because they are both tech focused in nature, while SCHG, while having had less performance in the last 10 years, is generally growth oriented and more diversified. Between IETC and VGT i'd go for VGT. Anyway, considering IECT is from 2018 but had a similar (little lower) performance than VGT, I'm going to assume VGT's performance but a little lowered: 20% per year. With it, with 10.000€ in 10 years you'd have around 72.600$. But careful! Here comes the problem: the last 10 years are far from representing an average result for tech. I expect the 10 years starting in 2020 (or even today) to return far less than the previous. Maybe around 12-14% per year on average or even less. This also because of a correction that I expect to happen within the next 1-2 years
@@rick.austin Rick, you do highlight some reasonable points that I needed to delve deeper in my analysis. Full disclosure, I have decent position in VGT. I was looking at the AI boom still having another 5 years of growth underneath the hood. However, instead of jumping into another growth, I figured it will be less stressful to have a decent AI etf to compliment my portfolio. As always I thoroughly enjoy your content. You’re like the gift that keeps giving (knowledge in this context). Thank you
I currently have 10 altogether combined of stocks and ETFs. 5 each actually. For individual stocks I have BAC, BMY, PEP, VZ, WFC. As for ETFS I have BND, VTI, VXUS, VUG, VYM. As the percentages go, I have about roughly 75% in ETFS and 25% in individual stocks, however only 2% in Bonds vs 98% in stocks because I am currently 42 years old btw. So anyway I just thought I'd share that with you on here and to collect your thoughts on this as well
@@Fadi-hl8ox if you have such a high percentage in stocks, you need to ask yourself the reason why you want those and not others. Dividends perhaps? Everyona has his reasons and you surely have yours. Just want to point out that you have a strong overweight in 5 stocks compared to the etfs that contain hundreds of stocks, so obviously the choice of these stocks is of paramount importance. I think it's alright to have only 2% in bonds. The ETFs you chose are great choices. I wouldn't have invested so much in those 5 stocks, if you'll track them over time i'm pretty sure you'll make much more money from VTI than from the stocks you have
@@rick.austinyeah I do see what you are saying. I probably should've maybe only have 15% perhaps in those 5 stocks instead of the 25 and I do realize an overlap in the financial sector between BAC and WFC as well
@@Fadi-hl8ox some overlap is not so bad, i wouldn't worry so much about it, but maybe work on bringing the percentage down. I have around 15% in stocks but i have many stocks. 25% on 5 is heavy
I know that everyone generally considers an ETF that is so heavily weighted in technology as VGT to be risky but I don't consider it as much of a risk since I believe that tech will always rebound with new innovations. An interesting ETF that has come onto my radar lately is SPMO by Invesco which of whose three most weighted holdings are in tech but it is in fact an ETF that tracks the S&P 500. I recommend checking that one out as it has been out performing almost every other ETF that I have seen this year. First Price.
Man, 200 single position is literally impossible to monitor over time, because you must check the financials of the companies and stay up to date on all of them. Yes I can only suggest you to increase your base of broad based ETFs!
Hi Rick, I really like your video as they are very informative especially when you provide the US equivalent ETF. I follow a very similar strategy that you adopt. I take the first price of the day when I DCA regularly for a set of ETFs. Doesn’t matter what price, low or high, I purchase the ETFs at that first price, rain, hail or shine.
I've been lucky and sold it all before the crash, right after recording the video. I sold it for the reason i explained in the video and i'm not going to buy it back now. But i have to say, this is the kind of accident that happens to good companies like what happened to Meta back in 2022, for which you might actually buy at a really good bargain. Nevertheless the company had a way too high P/E, so I think we're not yet at the real value.
By the way crowdstrike has been sued by shareholders for the internet outage, so they are not going to recover in the close future. It's worth following how it's going to develop in the next months/years, though
I'm new to trading, and I've lost a good sum trying out strategies I found in online tutorials. I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations you have.
Hey man, in my opinion the problem with overlap is overrated. If I have 2 shares of s&p 500, it's like having can also say that I have 2 single shares of s&p 500 that overlap 100% with each others . It doesn't mean it damages me. And when I have s&p500 and single stocks, or S&P500 and World, or S&P500 and single sectors, I do it to overweight a part of the market compared to the weight given in the S&P500. So that gives me an advantage if I believe a part of the market will perform better!
@@rick.austin It's not overrated, having overlapping stocks accross multiple different ETFs that hold the same ones makes it harder to track each stock's % weight on the overall portfolio, especially when they hold the same stocks at the top but at different weightings and with different rules that make the portfolio change throughout the year (like QQQ and SPY). All I'm saying is there's a simpler way to do it and get the same weightings. What I mean is that you do it to overweight X part of the market but the % by which you overweight those parts are harder to track when there's a bunch of overlap.
Do you want to know the beautiful thing about youtube? I need around 2 weeks to make a video from start to finish, so I did sell Crowdstrike holdings COMPLETELY around a week and a half ago. Talking about timing, THAT was perfect timing! 🎉 And you see, this is what I always try to "teach" in my channel: when a stock goes great and had an above average growth for way too long, even if the financials have been "solid", it's always good to cut the optimism and be skeptical instead! This is why I'm not touching NVDA or all the other great performers of the last years until the fall back down for some corrections!
@@rick.austin Nicely done! yes, thank you for reminding me that good youtube videos are generally made about a week or two before publishing. I appreciate your videos and especially on how you think about investing. Thank you for all the lessons you've shared with us. Keep it going, Rick!
Hello I’m from Romania I’m 35y I just started investing with revolut and I have invested 500€ in vanguard sp500 and now I wanna buy VGWD • Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield (Dist.) ETF for the div income for long term I wanna live from that over ❤15-20 years you think it’s a good investment ? I’m planning to invest 300-500€ / month . Thanks 🙏 have a nice day
Hi Alex, Glad to hear you started investing. I'm not really the dividend investor myself because i'd rather focus on the total growth, and the all world VGDW didn't have the best. But it's well diversified. If you want dividends it's ok, if instead you're looking for world diversification then a regular world ETF would be better
