Facts that hold truth so much more refreshing than old fashion hear say

[@farmerinchico]

Great information. Thanks!

Regarding international stocks, you say you can gain "less volatility, smoothing out your long term returns" (I think that's verbatim). But the 500 outperforms just about all int's over time, so why do I want lower returns?
More importantly, you seem to be saying that smoother returns mean greater returns. Is that true and supported by research? As a non-specialist, I just look at the 5 10 and 15 year charts and see that tech stocks are a pretty safe, major outperform buy, as opposed to most everything else (except leveraged tech funds).

Enjoyed the video! Do you have any recommendations on any individual stocks?

[@victorwheelock2915]

The only thing I would say is that you should be able to get a hold on your own job and not be a burden on the other side I think you should be responsible for your own work and not just your own work 8:33 8:33 8:36

If you want to be in a good position for a long period you need to get the right person to do the job

Many retirees take it too safe. I devote 15% of my portfolio to exponential growth stocks. I’m looking at the world as it will be in five years. What stocks will propel us forward? What companies are the innovators? Kathy Woods has the right idea.

[@Hal10034]

I like this, but can you stand the occasional 1/3 or more drawdown?

[@johntaylor4817]

This didn’t age to well. Woods’ investments were decimated in 2022.

[@merrib9725]

But how is she doing now that the Nasdaq has been so nicely up? I presume David can afford to have 15% of his portfolio underperform for a short period of time or he would have picked a lower percent of his assets.

[@raypalermo1603]

Not sure about her saying inflation has been low at 3%.In 2022 it was 8% and 2021it was almost 5%.Thats high to me.Look at food and utilities and car prices.Way up in my book.

Any time you say "needless to say", stop.
