There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell stocks.

Thanks for the great video! Great to see a refresher on the idiot grandson portfolio. I think the idea behind the portfolio was dividend income for the long term… so you would never have to sell down your shares. There is no way that could be done with 75% invested in international shares. That is relying on speculation of the share price. You’d also have to sell down shares for income, which would reduce your principal and be subjected to CGT. This defeats the purpose of the portfolio. Keep up the videos. They’re great.
Love your videos Michael! It would be really good to see you talk about some of the more ethical ETF's and maybe even compare them to some of the big ones that have stake in companies like BHP and the big 4 etc
Your two ETFs portfolio is much better than Pape’s portfolio. Even the allocation % is way better. My mistake in my personal portfolio was not buying VGS until 3 weeks ago. I am hoping to make VGS my core holding over time while my AUS exposure makes my satellite holdings.
I love your insight towards ETF's and I enjoy how they are explained in much simpler terms to someone like me who doesn't have the best understanding of investing terminology. If you don't mind me asking, how much have you invested into your ETF portfolio?
Hey Michael, love your work, keep it up!! Have you thought of doing a vid on the thematic ETFs setting the world on fire at the moment "ARK Invest"? I'd love to hear your opinions on them from an Australian perspective.
Great summary of all that the Barefoot is known for in terms of shares investing. My thoughts on Barefoot was almost exactly like yours: Says index funds are the best, then goes on to recommend an LIC, and then runs a stock-tip subscription :S. I still recommend his book to beginners, but I always stress that it's a very BEGINNER book, and aimed to try and make things as easy as possible for those who suck with money. Not to mentioned he's skewered the market to AFIC and Hostplus due to the popularity of his book.
Both great simple options, can’t go wrong with either. Only thing to note is VDHG has a 10% allocation to bonds, which is probably the main thing to consider
Hi Michael, I’ve been enjoying your videos. I think the two fund portfolio makes total sense. What do you think about diversifying to specialised ETFs such as ethical and sustainability ETFs and cyber security ETFs? Would love to hear you talk more about these. Thank you!
Thanks Mike. It broke down the Idiot grandson really well. Really made me think about simplifying my non super portfolio further!. Would you say Idiot grandson allocations are more income generating?. Hoping to partially retire in 6-10 years so looking to make non super portfolio more income generating and super mainly growth . What are your thoughts?. Thanks again:)
I really did not get in to the Barefoot Investor stuff. It seemed too gimicky, unrealistic, glib, repetitive. Seems to me that the *real* advice in the book is to ... make money by writing books about investment, and selling them to hopeful people. Barefoot basically says: - buy and own your own home. - double your income. - invest, retire, have a glass of wine each night. So, go buy a home, double your income, live well. That's all there is to it...
I love your videos, Michael. I appreciate your thoughts which come across as clear and easy to follow. I will continue to follow you as we move forward in this uncertain world.
I think VGS is much better than IOO. Management fee of 0.18% IOO at 0.40%, that fee is similar to an Active ETF, not a passive ETF tracking only 100 companies.
Another great video! I currently hold VDHG using SelfWealth, but if I start using a different broker like Pearler are there any downsides to having multiple? Also, since I already own VDHG how does this impact if I want to start buying a 2 fund portfolio? Would it change my weightings? Thanks!!
Two different brokers would only affect you if you were reinvesting shares with a DRP. They would be under 2 different HIN numbers (obviously it’s also one extra holding to work out income for at tax time) If you were adding the 2 etf portfolio like VAS and VGS on top of that, you would just be adding more growth opportunity long term but also increased volatility in the short to medium term. Basically you’d have less bonds which tend to smooth out the volatility. But with interest rates so low, more allocated to shares could be good. As long as you don’t need the invested money in the short term.
Than you Michael I think your work is excellent. I would like to all one further dimension to your comments. If you are building a portfolio with the purpose of living an income in A$ you should consider having a portfolio primarily in A$. I certainly do think having a fund with partial in US or China or EU assets but hedged back into the A$. What do you think? John Darwin
I have been watching you videos for a while, and currently running with 6 ETF's with nearly equal share across them all, (VHY, NDQ, VAS, A200, WDIV, IVV) yes there is some overlap (VAS-A200) and probably a little too much Aus %. I am thinking to add in a REIT specific ETF but need to do more research.
Are there any good investment products that attract low fees and low brokerage fees if a regular contribution is made per month, eg $500 per month? In NAB, it will cost $15 per transaction for ETF exactly like share trading).
Can you do a video on the best ways for minors to invest? I just want to put a few grand in a long term ETF but it seems so complicated as it pertains to tax implications and the such. It would be fantastic if you could provide some of your insight in this regard.
Hey Rick, it's just the unit price of the listed stock. It doesn't really mean anything. Main things to focus on are just the underlying holding allocations!
I'd love to see an ETF that delves into sustainable technologies etc. The problem I find when looking for one is that if you follow the ASX500 etfs a lot in my opinion are unethical. Would love to hear your thoughts
Ethics are different for every person. One year ago, most people would see investments in the arms industry as unethical. But right now, those arms companies are helping to save people's lives in Ukraine. Investments are about making money. How you do it is really up to you. And keep in mind that "ethical funds" still exist to make people money. They just do it under the guise of environmentalism or fair-trade or whatever. It's still just business.
Your explanation is realistic and straight to the point . On the other hand there are many ways of manipulating the market . I am glad as a small investor , that I am putting my hard earned savings into the most , better said the only transparent market there is day trading .

Fantastic Michael. Just subscribed.
Is it wise to invest in overseas index funds considering tax in AU?
Do any of these come with franking credits?
Hi, could you explain cause i am lay man. Do we buy those 5 stocks of etfs or do we use 5 accounts for that etfs?
Hi mate whate do you think of the asx 200 bought through commsec pocket
Love your videos Michael! It would be really good to see you talk about some of the more ethical ETF's and maybe even compare them to some of the big ones that have stake in companies like BHP and the big 4 etc

Hi Michael, just wanted to ask, which would you say is a 'better' portfolio to have: VAS/ VGS (40/60) or VDHG?
Both great simple options, can’t go wrong with either. Only thing to note is VDHG has a 10% allocation to bonds, which is probably the main thing to consider

VDHG & chill, never a bad option
@@michael_ko thanks bro. Great video as always.

@Elliott you don’t realise how times I say EFT when I really mean ETF. At least I get my codes correct when I buy and sell.
You’re great such great values from your videos

@@scenicrider4667 ok thanks, I will do some more research on this one,
Up to you whether you want to add an REIT or not, either way your portfolio is looking good, as its filled with low fee index ETFs!
Are there any good investment products that attract low fees and low brokerage fees if a regular contribution is made per month, eg $500 per month? In NAB, it will cost $15 per transaction for ETF exactly like share trading).
Depends what ETFs you want to buy into. Commsec pocket has low brokerage fees, as does open trader (both CHESS).
Excellent video and better than barefoot investor.
