Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!
Isn't VOO and VUG similar in the sense both are investing in the S&P 500? What is the difference? I thought it is generally advised against to invest in multiple ETFs or Mutual Funds?
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. But in general, I think the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown and I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
The advisor that guides me is Annette Christine Conte , most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name, She's established.
My CFA ’Annette Christine Conte’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $1m+ before retirement, I'm 55.
Those sound like great picks! consider financial advisory so you don’t keep switching it up, top 3 payers for the month were $OHI, $KMI, and $EDP... not bad for 350k
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Investing in stocks may appear simple, but selecting the appropriate stock without a proven strategy can be tough. I've been trying to develop my $210,000 portfolio for a while, but the biggest hurdle is a lack of a clear entrance and exit strategy. Any feedback on this topic would be greatly welcomed.
Investing in multiple asset classes can mitigate risk more effectively than placing all of your capital in one. See a financial consultant if you don't comprehend finances well enough.
Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
'NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE' a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
The main focus for markets now is Nvidia, which has powered a large chunk of the S&P 500’s recent earnings.

VGT outperformed SCHD and VOO over 5 and 10 years. Despite having most of my $500k retirement in VGT, I try to beat my Roth with my taxable account but still underperform the S&P 500.
I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.
ETFs are great, but don't rely solely on it for retirement. I retired at 62 with a $1.5M portfolio, starting with $35K, thanks to an adv1sor and dividends. Invest wisely, build your nest egg, and don't sell the chicken that lays the egg!
I'm very cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "Amber Dawn Brummit" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
I already own shares of NVDA, PALANTIR, TSLA, and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
Opting for an inves-tment advisr is currently the optimal approach for navigating the market, particularly for those nearing retirement. I've been consulting with a coach for a while, and my portfolio has surged by 85% since 2022

Agreed, After taking charge of my portfolio in early 2017, i stumbled into losses. Upon realizing that a change was necessary, I consulted a fiduciary advisor in 2020 and since then my $1.2m portfolio has gained 28% annually through restructuring and diversification using dividend equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and REITs.
great gains there! mind sharing details of your advisor pleas? i've started gaining more cash flow with my employment and looking at putting money into stocks and alternative assets that can help build wealth over time

Rate cuts commence in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.
The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

Yeah, brokerage AdvisoRs could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of investors raking in 6 to 7 digits in a space of months. So, I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and the least I returned was $140k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

I believe investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, especially given the present rollercoaster nature of the stock market. 35% of my $270,000 portfolio consists of collapsing stocks that were previously respected, and I don't know where to go from here.
I would get money management just in case. You’re only 55. I think the average life execting in the US is 77.5 years, but many people live well into their 80s so that $1 million has to last you all of that and the unforeseen. $1m is a great start though. Good for you!
Well, I chose Melissa Jean Talingdan as my advisor after her interview on CNBC In 2020. She is SEC regulated with offices in the US and quite frankly a genius with portfolio diversification. You should look her up

I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with low percentage on my $236k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Do you think these stocks you just mentioned are safe buys to outperform the market this year?
Stop buying every stocks you see some youtuber recommend sometimes they do that to pump their bags. Seek guidance from a financial advisor instead of relying on UA-cam for investment advice.
Same, I use UA-cam for research only. All major investment decisions go through my advisor. The market's instability makes DIY risky. You don't need to find the next NVDA to succeed in investing. Opt for top-notch ETFs, dividend aristocrats, and a trusted advisor. I've turned $20k into $10k in annual dividends, a major milestone.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

I prefer to invest in large cap companies which have economic moats, good cash flow and strong balance sheets such as AAPL, SCHD, NVDA and Barclays. Seeking expertise assistance can make a huge difference
Agreed, instead of following rumors or a hearsay, I adopted the service of an advisor early 2020 amid covid-outbreak, and after subsequent investments to date, I've attained my most significant financial milestone, just about 10% shy of $2m.

On your own you could seek out several of this financial advisors, make sure the one you settle on is a fiduciary and not a fake. Know what you’re getting out of it and see if your targets can be met
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

Angela Lynn Schilling is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Wow. I am blown away by this presentation. I was an insecure 49 year old on SS in January 2018 when I started buying Bitcoin/crypto. Everyone though I was irrational. Most still do. I put my income in every month and watched the value drop each month but for some reason really believed in Bitcoin and alt coins/blockchain even though I don't totally understand. Finally, the crypto market started turning around and I am astonished at the value of my crypto currency portfolio today. I engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3B'tc to a decent 27B'tc....At the heart of this evolution is Kerrie Farrell, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience...
I rather invest my money on crypto. Bitcoin trading is great unlike the stock market and other financial markets, bitcoin has no centralized location , since it operates 24hrs in different parts of the world...
I agree with you!! Money actually grow on trees but only on trees that was planted by you!! These tress are referred to as investments. How you diversify your investment portfolio matters
Diversification is the key. My portfolio is well diversified with the help of a financial adviser. This helps me make more than +400% monthly on my investments.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

Woah for real? I'm super excited. juliana strategy has normalized winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started
I live in Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦 and I have just retired at 54. She's recognized as 'Mrs Juliana heidi, one of the finest portfolio managers in the field and widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.
You never only invest in I etf without doing your homework!!! SCHD/VGT as a combo is the only way to go 50/50!!! Best of both worlds! Growth, Safety, Value and consistent cash flow!
The way that SCHD is presented is that you can only buy it now, and you have it forever without making changes. If you are managing your own account, the name of the game is profit. Make the most profit now, and when the market shifts, change your holdings. Even if you only look at your holdings quarterly, you won't miss that much of loss.
I have a good amount of SCHD and I'm still buying weekly preparing for a flip in tbe market. Right now it makes up on 4% of my entire portfolio. VOO is only 5% of my portfolio and VGT is about 6%. I'm working to bring those up to 10% each and reduce my individual stocks down to 40% from 52%... I also hold smaller amounts of VIG, DGRO, and MGK in a secondary account that I'm buying weekly as well. My individual stocks have blown all other investments out of tbe water the last 5 years, but I don't expect to outperform over the long haul.
Buying of just any ETFs is easy, but buying the right one without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence which is best to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies.
Before investing in any ETF, it's important to conduct thorough research. Understand the fund's objectives, track record, expense ratio, and the index it aims to replicate.
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from Sharon Ann Meny to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
Expecting SCHD to perform like the SP500 is crazy. Really, value has underperformed for decades. A comparison shows SCHD underperforming by large margins across all time frames. The two are designed to be very different things. Not sure why the love affair with SCHD for young people. There is a time and a place for it -- but don't sell yourself short early on in your investment journey.
Yes, SCHD must be combined with some broad market ETF of different kind ( VOO, QQQ, SPY, VUG, FTEC, etc.) to improve portfolio performance. For some ballast in bad times a short term bond ETF can be included. These days a CD can be included. Not sure 2-ETF strategy is really good.
47 years old. 455k invested: 50% SCHG, 45% SCHD, 5% SCHZ. I plan to retire At 55 years old since I will receive a pension of about 140,000/yr with annual cost of living adjustment. I’m gonna take Social security at 62. Thoughts on my allocations and outlook?
I like SGOV more than SCHZ. I like the current allocation. The Schwab duo is very very underrated of schg and schd. I love the duo. You’re going to be just fine with that pension. I like the current allocation
Everything carries risk. Even government bonds have risk. Even the checking account at your bank carries risk. I would say significant concentration is a big risk to one sector
The people trashing SCHD right now are the same people who wouldn't touch QQQ back in 2022 when they should have been loading up. Always performance chasing.
Wow!! What a fantastic explaination about SCHD which I never knew about and also own (12%). I chose VT as my BroadMarket ETF but may consider adding SCHG or another ETF that you visited in your video. Well DONE.
I recognize that reinvesting is a good way to grow your portfolio. Maybe a few posts on growing the portfolio for retirees and still having a comfortable life style should follow. Thanks.
I would say the best bond etf is a short term treasury bond ($SGOV). I believe if you have a super super high risk tolerance in retirement or a long time horizon then dividend stocks or ETFs could be included in your portfolio but if we are going to debate about the purpose of a bond which is to protect your wealth and be stable/less volatile if at all to your portfolio then I don’t believe it’s a perfect apples to apples go swap them out. Both have a time and place for a portfolio.
I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.
look at the charts, bitcoin has outperformed every stock and banking product ever developed even after multiple pullbacks over the last decade. not a financial advisor but I know what i'm saying
The key is diversification. Personally, I delegate my investing to an advisor, cos my job doesn't permit the time to perform market analysis myself. Thankfully, my once ago stagnant portfolio has now 5X in barely 4 years, summing up almost 7 figure as of today.
You mention your advisor & that caught my attention. I'm eager to learn more and potentially seek her guidance. Could you share how I can get in touch with her???.
I searched for her complete name on the internet and located her page. I then sent an email and scheduled a meeting to converse with her; now, I'm awaiting her response.
Thanks for the great content once again. Show of hands if you rebalance your portfolio quarterly and are about to transfer gains from your growth ETF’s over to SCHD soon? That’s exactly what I’m doing. Consistently buying dips until it’s time to rebalance throughout the cycles.
ty for this video. so in a bull market, growth etfs do well, and in bear the value etf would work well? Also, is there a vanguard equivalent to schd? I currently have vanguard etf and mutual fund?
Bull markets. Usually most etfs (if they are broadly diversified or are heavily invested in the sector that is contributing to the market returns) will do well. SCHD is known for lower volatility. Mostly because of the big name dividend stocks that do not move up or down in drastic stock price movement. Hmm, there is no real apples to apples to schd. But i would say VYM is good comparison.
I had VHYAX, but then rolled it into VGIAX. Unfortunately, VGIAX doesn't seem to do dividends like SCHD (4.27%) or VHYAX (3.42%). I'm looking for passive income at this phase of my investing journey. I did diversify into some non-vanguard >> JEPQ
It all depends on your personal preference. I know people who have 100% VOO, 100% JEPQ/JEPI, 3 ETFs, 2 ETFs, etc.... I would say (Not financial advice), if you have a long time horizon (preferably 10+ years) a moderate to high risk tolerance, then yes. QQQM/SCHD is a great option. You get the best of both value and growth. Mainly explained in the video for why its a viable option compared to only schd. If someone gave me this portfolio and told me I have to invest in this 2 ETF Portfolio forever, I would be happy with it and I would sleep just fine at night. Hope this helps!
Not a huge fan of SOXL in the long term. I would rather invest in SMH and not leveraged ETFs. Leverage ETFs significantly increase the risk of a 1x etf. Plus it’s not a 1 for 1 movement. Do more research on leveraged ETFs and the risks of them before you make a decisions. I only like leveraged ETFs in a short term hold where it’s play money
It’s hard to really rate a portfolio because everyone has their investing style/preference, goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, etc. wonder what others would have to say in the comments
Have you heard of SPMO? I just heard about this ETF today and from what I am seeing it has been blowing all these other ETF's including SCHD out of the water for the past few years. Would love to see you do a video comparing SCHD to SPMO.
Great video once again! I have DGRO in my Roth to get a combination of growth and dividend in one ETF, I like it so far. But, I good combination that I put together in my mom's ROTH is SPLG, VONG, and DGRW.
I really like this combo, I call it the Schwab duo. You get the best of dividends and the value companies from schd with the growth and capital appreciation potential with the holdings in schg.
Looks like primarily a growth portfolio. Hopefully you have a long time horizon & more of a higher risk tolerance. I personally like that it’s Vangaurd funds. VOO & MGK as the main strategy I like for the broad market diversification with VOO & MGK being more of a higher aggressive growth etf for large cap companies that are already in the S&P 500 but a touch more concentrated for the potential of higher returns in the long run (mega cap 300). VIG is going to have similar movement to VOO but its a touch higher dividend yield if you are chasing and banking on the yield growing over time which is the target goal of the fund then it’s fine in the long run. You could either go 50/50 to VOO & MGK since VIG and VOO have pretty similar movements if you look at the charts side by side or keep the allocation. Please note as you get toward retirement to maybe de risk the portfolio a touch but that won’t be for a while. Always reinvest the dividends and be patient! (Not financial advice)!
Are you talking about % allocation? I would say it depends on what youre looking to do with your portfolio. Personally I like broad market etfs like VOO/VTI/VT (Vanguard examples). It all depends. See a video I have titled " Best 3 ETF Portfolio: How to Invest By Age", I think this might give you a clearer answer.
(Non financial advice) but I like the basket you have. You have a good mix of reliable growth with FNILX, dgro is also an etf that provides good dividends but still will provide capital appreciation. Of course schd is a great pick in your age bracket. I’m not a fan of JEPQ early on in an investors investing journey but I like JEPQ at around the traditional retirement age of 55-65 given it’s not meant to provide capital appreciation, more of monthly income for those who like the covered call strategy.
It’s so crazy how one video to another is so different for this Dividend fund! One moment I see several videos saying I can put all of my investments in the SCHD fund to grow more than 1-2 million in over 30 years, and now it’s a bad choice?
@@nathanchristie6532 schd is a good fund. I just got sick and tired of seeking all the Reddit posts in the etf forum with people complaining about their returns not keeping up with the overall market. So I decided to make this video to explain why that is occurring, and how to position your portfolio that contains schd for the highest returns in the long run (hopefully). Can you have only schd in a portfolio? Sure… would I ever do that? No… would I have schd to complement a diversified portfolio? 100%
@@Marcos_Milla okay thanks for the feedback! I am just starting my investing journey at age 30, so I am taking it all in as the public education system fails to inform us about investing. There seems to be a good consensus about a 2-3 fund portfolio framework including a dividend fund like SCHD, a growth fund like VOO, VUG or VGT QQQ and much later on a bond fund closer to retirement. Just taking the time to make sure I’m making good moves. Appreciate the videos and content!
@@nathanchristie6532 totally! I would say to look at QQQM and not QQQ. QQQM was released by invesco not too long ago and has a lower expense ratio of .05% less. It’s the same thing as QQQ. A lot of etf investors own qqqm over qqq for this reason, including myself
@@Marcos_Milla Okay thanks, I believe I watched a video of yours that recommended the QQQM for that reason. It’s exciting to think about the upside, but the volatility of that type of fund makes me nervous. I guess I have time to take a few early risks though!

Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

Honestly you could get the same performance (very similar) if not better in other ETFs with a lower expense ratio like VGT/XLK. But NANC is a good option if you really want to follow the investments of those congresss officials without looking at wallstreetbets to get information on when these people buy and sold stock
I like Schd & Vym. If you are focused on more stable dividends and you want a higher yield that is quarterly paying with better taxation than a covered call strategy might offer. I also think VYM & schd together is killer if over time you built up a huge nest egg and then the dividends will be so so good and you also will get a touch of capital appreciation (might not beat the market) but it’s really focused on dividend income over time. It will also be less volatile than a lot of strategies, which is why a lot of people love Vym & schd as a combo.
I have a vid on strictly JEPQ (but that’s a covered call etf). If you have a specific request for a video, I would gladly be open to hearing it and seeing what I can do💪🏼
@@Marcos_Milla yes a monthly dividend ETF vid, that aren’t covered call ETFs or dividend traps would be interesting. I wish Schwabs would make a monthly dividend SCHD ETF, maybe charge a little higher expense ratio than regular SCHD for the trouble 😅
@@erickIVV777 my channel is 100% not involved in dividend traps or those highly suspect ETFs that just return back the capital to investors if you know what I’m talking about. I will note this my friend!
@@Marcos_Milla Thanks, I know your channel is legit. Some monthly dividend ETFs i know like DIA SPLV SPHD or PEY may underperform SCHD in total return but if you pair them with a broad market and/or growth ETF like in this SCHD video, it may be worth it for some investors. That monthly dividend compared to quarterly is appealing to some. Thanks again 👍
@@Marcos_Milla I currently do the core + satellite method. My core being 75% of my portfolio 30/30/15: SCHD/DGRO/VGT Satellite being 5% each: MO, HDV,DHS,SPYI,QQQI when I retire from the military in about 8-10 years, I’ll redistribute my growth into more income focused items like JEPQ/SCHD and others
Wait, you tell people why they are buying SCHD for the wrong reasons or don't understand why they bought it in the first place and then you come up with an investment style that is not focused on what SCHD is, thus you are doing the same thing that the folks that buy SCHD for the wrong reasons are doing. You are comparing apples to oranges when you need apples while talking about how oranges are so much better. -1 for you.
I'm 3 minutes in and here we are banging on and on about SCHD. Everybody knows about SCHD. Move on, its a yawn-fest... Oooop, 4.40 and still going.... Now we are going on about Broad Market etfs.. We know.. Nobody clicked on here unless they know these things.
VGT outperformed SCHD and VOO over 5 and 10 years. Despite having most of my $500k retirement in VGT, I try to beat my Roth with my taxable account but still underperform the S&P 500.
I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.
ETFs are great, but don't rely solely on it for retirement. I retired at 62 with a $1.5M portfolio, starting with $35K, thanks to an adv1sor and dividends. Invest wisely, build your nest egg, and don't sell the chicken that lays the egg!
I'm very cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "Aileen Gertrude Tippy" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!
Isn't VOO and VUG similar in the sense both are investing in the S&P 500? What is the difference? I thought it is generally advised against to invest in multiple ETFs or Mutual Funds?
There is 55% overlap with the holdings in VOO and VUG. 1 is tech heavy and the other is financials heavy similar, but not the same. VOO tracks the S&P 500; VUG is just focused on large cap growth stocks. VUG is a bit more volatile, but with a higher upside potential. VOO is a bit safer. I’ve never heard anyone advise against multiple ETFs/mutual funds. You just have to be aware of overlap. 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 the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
I'm sitting on some significant money ready to toss it into VOO, but I'm kinda hoping that price drops a bit. I know we only want to see the stock rise, but being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
Finding financial advisors like Vivian Jean Wilhelm who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I dont even know where the stock market is headed to right now. my portfolio of around 200k is not increasing more than 5% and people are predicting a crash .
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, I used hedging strategies to allocate part of my portfOlio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay finan-cially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on invest-ments.
I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since everyone's situation varies, but I've worked with "Melissa Elise Robinson" for years and highly recommend her. See if she meets your criteria.

My biggest irk with ETFs is the lack of optimization;changes in any given stock in the ETF can drag your portfolio down. While dividends can provide immediate income, the true power lies in the compounding effect over many years. But in general, I think the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown and I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
impressive gains! how can I get your advlsor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now
The advisor that guides me is Annette Christine Conte , most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name, She's established.
My CFA ’Annette Christine Conte’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $1m+ before retirement, I'm 55.
Those sound like great picks! consider financial advisory so you don’t keep switching it up, top 3 payers for the month were $OHI, $KMI, and $EDP... not bad for 350k
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

Investing in stocks may appear simple, but selecting the appropriate stock without a proven strategy can be tough. I've been trying to develop my $210,000 portfolio for a while, but the biggest hurdle is a lack of a clear entrance and exit strategy. Any feedback on this topic would be greatly welcomed.
Investing in multiple asset classes can mitigate risk more effectively than placing all of your capital in one. See a financial consultant if you don't comprehend finances well enough.
Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
That makes perfect sense; you seem to have a better understanding of the market than we do. The coach is who?
'NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE' a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
I just Googled her name and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I sent her an email and i hope she responds soon. Thanks
The main focus for markets now is Nvidia, which has powered a large chunk of the S&P 500’s recent earnings.

Agreed, After taking charge of my portfolio in early 2017, i stumbled into losses. Upon realizing that a change was necessary, I consulted a fiduciary advisor in 2020 and since then my $1.2m portfolio has gained 28% annually through restructuring and diversification using dividend equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and REITs.

Rate cuts commence in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.
The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession-influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through an F.A
Yeah, brokerage AdvisoRs could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of investors raking in 6 to 7 digits in a space of months. So, I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and the least I returned was $140k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

Glad to hear from another buckeye! comfortable retirement depends on your lifestyle...
I would get money management just in case. You’re only 55. I think the average life execting in the US is 77.5 years, but many people live well into their 80s so that $1 million has to last you all of that and the unforeseen. $1m is a great start though. Good for you!

I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with low percentage on my $236k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Do you think these stocks you just mentioned are safe buys to outperform the market this year?
Stop buying every stocks you see some youtuber recommend sometimes they do that to pump their bags. Seek guidance from a financial advisor instead of relying on UA-cam for investment advice.
Same, I use UA-cam for research only. All major investment decisions go through my advisor. The market's instability makes DIY risky. You don't need to find the next NVDA to succeed in investing. Opt for top-notch ETFs, dividend aristocrats, and a trusted advisor. I've turned $20k into $10k in annual dividends, a major milestone.

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible.

Wow. I am blown away by this presentation. I was an insecure 49 year old on SS in January 2018 when I started buying Bitcoin/crypto. Everyone though I was irrational. Most still do. I put my income in every month and watched the value drop each month but for some reason really believed in Bitcoin and alt coins/blockchain even though I don't totally understand. Finally, the crypto market started turning around and I am astonished at the value of my crypto currency portfolio today. I engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3B'tc to a decent 27B'tc....At the heart of this evolution is Kerrie Farrell, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Kerrie’s trade signal service....
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable..
Kerrie Farrell program is widely available online....
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience...

The way that SCHD is presented is that you can only buy it now, and you have it forever without making changes.
If you are managing your own account, the name of the game is profit. Make the most profit now, and when the market shifts, change your holdings. Even if you only look at your holdings quarterly, you won't miss that much of loss.

Buying of just any ETFs is easy, but buying the right one without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence which is best to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies.
Before investing in any ETF, it's important to conduct thorough research. Understand the fund's objectives, track record, expense ratio, and the index it aims to replicate.
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.
Market behavior can be complex and unpredictable. Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach to whom you have used their services?
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from Sharon Ann Meny to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
I just googled her now and I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
Expecting SCHD to perform like the SP500 is crazy. Really, value has underperformed for decades. A comparison shows SCHD underperforming by large margins across all time frames. The two are designed to be very different things. Not sure why the love affair with SCHD for young people. There is a time and a place for it -- but don't sell yourself short early on in your investment journey.
👀
Yes, SCHD must be combined with some broad market ETF of different kind ( VOO, QQQ, SPY, VUG, FTEC, etc.) to improve portfolio performance. For some ballast in bad times a short term bond ETF can be included. These days a CD can be included. Not sure 2-ETF strategy is really good.

Still going with the king SCHD .

You are wise

VTI, SMH, and SCHD!! I'm riding it out for the next 25 years
💪🏼🤘🏼
47 years old. 455k invested: 50% SCHG, 45% SCHD, 5% SCHZ. I plan to retire At 55 years old since I will receive a pension of about 140,000/yr with annual cost of living adjustment. I’m gonna take Social security at 62. Thoughts on my allocations and outlook?
I like SGOV more than SCHZ. I like the current allocation. The Schwab duo is very very underrated of schg and schd. I love the duo. You’re going to be just fine with that pension. I like the current allocation
qq- Are ETF's also at a risk of going bankrupt as individual stocks do. And if yes, then what are the characteristics that make them suspectible?
Everything carries risk. Even government bonds have risk. Even the checking account at your bank carries risk. I would say significant concentration is a big risk to one sector
The game is long, and as said in sports, something like: "Offence gets you to the play-offs, but defense wins championships."
Love this 💪🏼
The people trashing SCHD right now are the same people who wouldn't touch QQQ back in 2022 when they should have been loading up. Always performance chasing.

Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!
Wow!! What a fantastic explaination about SCHD which I never knew about and also own (12%). I chose VT as my BroadMarket ETF but may consider adding SCHG or another ETF that you visited in your video. Well DONE.
Thank you my friend !
I recognize that reinvesting is a good way to grow your portfolio. Maybe a few posts on growing the portfolio for retirees and still having a comfortable life style should follow. Thanks.
Making note of this! 🤝💪🏼

How do people feel about a dividend stock ETF as an alternative to bonds?
I would say the best bond etf is a short term treasury bond ($SGOV). I believe if you have a super super high risk tolerance in retirement or a long time horizon then dividend stocks or ETFs could be included in your portfolio but if we are going to debate about the purpose of a bond which is to protect your wealth and be stable/less volatile if at all to your portfolio then I don’t believe it’s a perfect apples to apples go swap them out. Both have a time and place for a portfolio.
I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.
bitcoin does not pay any yield but will reward you with growth that you can't find in any other asset class
look at the charts, bitcoin has outperformed every stock and banking product ever developed even after multiple pullbacks over the last decade. not a financial advisor but I know what i'm saying
The key is diversification. Personally, I delegate my investing to an advisor, cos my job doesn't permit the time to perform market analysis myself. Thankfully, my once ago stagnant portfolio has now 5X in barely 4 years, summing up almost 7 figure as of today.
You mention your advisor & that caught my attention. I'm eager to learn more and potentially seek her guidance. Could you share how I can get in touch with her???.
I searched for her complete name on the internet and located her page. I then sent an email and scheduled a meeting to converse with her; now, I'm awaiting her response.
Thanks for the great content once again. Show of hands if you rebalance your portfolio quarterly and are about to transfer gains from your growth ETF’s over to SCHD soon? That’s exactly what I’m doing. Consistently buying dips until it’s time to rebalance throughout the cycles.
Smart 👀
I went with SCHD and VOO. My only concern with SCHD is how my dividends are doing.
Hmm, the dividends of schd are only increasing
ty for this video. so in a bull market, growth etfs do well, and in bear the value etf would work well?
Also, is there a vanguard equivalent to schd? I currently have vanguard etf and mutual fund?
Bull markets. Usually most etfs (if they are broadly diversified or are heavily invested in the sector that is contributing to the market returns) will do well. SCHD is known for lower volatility. Mostly because of the big name dividend stocks that do not move up or down in drastic stock price movement. Hmm, there is no real apples to apples to schd. But i would say VYM is good comparison.
I had VHYAX, but then rolled it into VGIAX. Unfortunately, VGIAX doesn't seem to do dividends like SCHD (4.27%) or VHYAX (3.42%). I'm looking for passive income at this phase of my investing journey. I did diversify into some non-vanguard >> JEPQ
Loving these recent schd dividends @.82 a share. Heck yeah.
For real🤑
I have only QQQM and SCHD in my portfolio, what do think about it ?
It all depends on your personal preference. I know people who have 100% VOO, 100% JEPQ/JEPI, 3 ETFs, 2 ETFs, etc.... I would say (Not financial advice), if you have a long time horizon (preferably 10+ years) a moderate to high risk tolerance, then yes. QQQM/SCHD is a great option. You get the best of both value and growth. Mainly explained in the video for why its a viable option compared to only schd. If someone gave me this portfolio and told me I have to invest in this 2 ETF Portfolio forever, I would be happy with it and I would sleep just fine at night. Hope this helps!
hey marcos i am going toinvest in voo qqqm and soxl do you think this portfolio is good or should i buy something else instead of soxl
Not a huge fan of SOXL in the long term. I would rather invest in SMH and not leveraged ETFs. Leverage ETFs significantly increase the risk of a 1x etf. Plus it’s not a 1 for 1 movement. Do more research on leveraged ETFs and the risks of them before you make a decisions. I only like leveraged ETFs in a short term hold where it’s play money
Rate my portfolio
VFH- 10%
SOXX- 18.75%
JEPQ- 24.5%
DXJ- 19.25%
VUG- 24.5%
VOO- 27%
It’s hard to really rate a portfolio because everyone has their investing style/preference, goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, etc. wonder what others would have to say in the comments
what about SPYI and SVOL?
Not a huge fan of SVOL. I like SPYI better
Have you heard of SPMO? I just heard about this ETF today and from what I am seeing it has been blowing all these other ETF's including SCHD out of the water for the past few years. Would love to see you do a video comparing SCHD to SPMO.
Noting this. SPMO is more of a growth etf in my eyes. It’s definitely not an apples to apples comparison but a great idea nonetheless
Great video once again! I have DGRO in my Roth to get a combination of growth and dividend in one ETF, I like it so far. But, I good combination that I put together in my mom's ROTH is SPLG, VONG, and DGRW.
love it! Thank you so much for your kind comment my friend!
What are your thoughts about SCHD & SCHG? I am about 50% in both. Thanks for sharing.
I really like this combo, I call it the Schwab duo. You get the best of dividends and the value companies from schd with the growth and capital appreciation potential with the holdings in schg.
@@Marcos_Milla Thanks for your reply, look forward to watching your videos.
What do you think about the following portfolio breakdown?
45% $VOO
45% $MGK
10% $VIG
Looks like primarily a growth portfolio. Hopefully you have a long time horizon & more of a higher risk tolerance. I personally like that it’s Vangaurd funds. VOO & MGK as the main strategy I like for the broad market diversification with VOO & MGK being more of a higher aggressive growth etf for large cap companies that are already in the S&P 500 but a touch more concentrated for the potential of higher returns in the long run (mega cap 300). VIG is going to have similar movement to VOO but its a touch higher dividend yield if you are chasing and banking on the yield growing over time which is the target goal of the fund then it’s fine in the long run. You could either go 50/50 to VOO & MGK since VIG and VOO have pretty similar movements if you look at the charts side by side or keep the allocation. Please note as you get toward retirement to maybe de risk the portfolio a touch but that won’t be for a while. Always reinvest the dividends and be patient! (Not financial advice)!
My portfolio has SCHE F G and V. I did not pick these. This is the result of the managed funds.
Bueno
How do you tell if your stocks % is better than voo? Im new and havnt figured it out.
Are you talking about % allocation? I would say it depends on what youre looking to do with your portfolio. Personally I like broad market etfs like VOO/VTI/VT (Vanguard examples). It all depends. See a video I have titled " Best 3 ETF Portfolio: How to Invest By Age", I think this might give you a clearer answer.
@Marcos_Milla how do you know if your percentage is up?
All my stocks are above what I paid but week and month says they are lower than the day ?
How does this sound for a 55-year-old SCHD jepq dgro and Fnilx comments welcome
(Non financial advice) but I like the basket you have. You have a good mix of reliable growth with FNILX, dgro is also an etf that provides good dividends but still will provide capital appreciation. Of course schd is a great pick in your age bracket. I’m not a fan of JEPQ early on in an investors investing journey but I like JEPQ at around the traditional retirement age of 55-65 given it’s not meant to provide capital appreciation, more of monthly income for those who like the covered call strategy.

It’s so crazy how one video to another is so different for this Dividend fund! One moment I see several videos saying I can put all of my investments in the SCHD fund to grow more than 1-2 million in over 30 years, and now it’s a bad choice?
@@nathanchristie6532 schd is a good fund. I just got sick and tired of seeking all the Reddit posts in the etf forum with people complaining about their returns not keeping up with the overall market. So I decided to make this video to explain why that is occurring, and how to position your portfolio that contains schd for the highest returns in the long run (hopefully). Can you have only schd in a portfolio? Sure… would I ever do that? No… would I have schd to complement a diversified portfolio? 100%
@@Marcos_Milla okay thanks for the feedback! I am just starting my investing journey at age 30, so I am taking it all in as the public education system fails to inform us about investing. There seems to be a good consensus about a 2-3 fund portfolio framework including a dividend fund like SCHD, a growth fund like VOO, VUG or VGT QQQ and much later on a bond fund closer to retirement. Just taking the time to make sure I’m making good moves. Appreciate the videos and content!
@@nathanchristie6532 totally! I would say to look at QQQM and not QQQ. QQQM was released by invesco not too long ago and has a lower expense ratio of .05% less. It’s the same thing as QQQ. A lot of etf investors own qqqm over qqq for this reason, including myself
@@Marcos_Milla Okay thanks, I believe I watched a video of yours that recommended the QQQM for that reason. It’s exciting to think about the upside, but the volatility of that type of fund makes me nervous. I guess I have time to take a few early risks though!
@@nathanchristie6532 I always try and provide the full background of any investment. Please please please only invest in what you could buy and hold for a long amount of time, if it fits within your goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, and makes you sleep at night :)

My strategy combines ETFs for dividends and growth, including JEPI, DIVO, QYLD, SCHD, and JEPQ. Last year, my dividends totaled $102K. but not sure how to mitigate risk for this year
Well the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable decisions are better guided by professionals
Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I've been considering hiring an advisor for a long. Could you please direct me to your advisor?

Big fan of VGT
any opinions on the NANC etf?
I think it’s a good etf if you want to track the plays of congress members in the Democratic Party. Usually they will large blue chip tech stocks and that’s the reason for the high performance. Honestly you could get the same performance (very similar) if not better in other ETFs with a lower expense ratio like VGT/XLK. But NANC is a good option if you really want to follow the investments of those congresss officials without looking at wallstreetbets to get information on when these people buy and sold stock
what about schd and vym?
I like Schd & Vym. If you are focused on more stable dividends and you want a higher yield that is quarterly paying with better taxation than a covered call strategy might offer. I also think VYM & schd together is killer if over time you built up a huge nest egg and then the dividends will be so so good and you also will get a touch of capital appreciation (might not beat the market) but it’s really focused on dividend income over time. It will also be less volatile than a lot of strategies, which is why a lot of people love Vym & schd as a combo.
Do you have any monthly dividend ETF (that aren’t covered call etfs) vids?
I have a vid on strictly JEPQ (but that’s a covered call etf). If you have a specific request for a video, I would gladly be open to hearing it and seeing what I can do💪🏼
@@Marcos_Milla yes a monthly dividend ETF vid, that aren’t covered call ETFs or dividend traps would be interesting. I wish Schwabs would make a monthly dividend SCHD ETF, maybe charge a little higher expense ratio than regular SCHD for the trouble 😅
@@erickIVV777 my channel is 100% not involved in dividend traps or those highly suspect ETFs that just return back the capital to investors if you know what I’m talking about. I will note this my friend!
@@Marcos_Milla Thanks, I know your channel is legit. Some monthly dividend ETFs i know like DIA SPLV SPHD or PEY may underperform SCHD in total return but if you pair them with a broad market and/or growth ETF like in this SCHD video, it may be worth it for some investors. That monthly dividend compared to quarterly is appealing to some. Thanks again 👍

Wait, you tell people why they are buying SCHD for the wrong reasons or don't understand why they bought it in the first place and then you come up with an investment style that is not focused on what SCHD is, thus you are doing the same thing that the folks that buy SCHD for the wrong reasons are doing.

VGT outperformed SCHD and VOO over 5 and 10 years. Despite having most of my $500k retirement in VGT, I try to beat my Roth with my taxable account but still underperform the S&P 500.
I'm taking a hybrid approach with VGT, SCHD, and VOO as my foundation over a 20-year horizon. I still enjoy life, travel, and buy what I love. It's the best combo, plus I enjoy the small victories of dividends, dividend growth, and share price appreciation.
ETFs are great, but don't rely solely on it for retirement. I retired at 62 with a $1.5M portfolio, starting with $35K, thanks to an adv1sor and dividends. Invest wisely, build your nest egg, and don't sell the chicken that lays the egg!
Who is this person guiding you and how can i reach he/she?
I'm very cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "Aileen Gertrude Tippy" I've worked with her for 9 years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Thanks a lot for this suggestion. I needed this myself, I looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!
Isn't VOO and VUG similar in the sense both are investing in the S&P 500? What is the difference? I thought it is generally advised against to invest in multiple ETFs or Mutual Funds?
There is 55% overlap with the holdings in VOO and VUG. 1 is tech heavy and the other is financials heavy similar, but not the same. VOO tracks the S&P 500; VUG is just focused on large cap growth stocks. VUG is a bit more volatile, but with a higher upside potential. VOO is a bit safer. I’ve never heard anyone advise against multiple ETFs/mutual funds. You just have to be aware of overlap. 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 the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
I'm sitting on some significant money ready to toss it into VOO, but I'm kinda hoping that price drops a bit. I know we only want to see the stock rise, but being heavily liquid, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
Finding financial advisors like Vivian Jean Wilhelm who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I dont even know where the stock market is headed to right now. my portfolio of around 200k is not increasing more than 5% and people are predicting a crash .
i'd advise you redistribute assets in your portfolio with the help of a pro so you don't get burnt in the market
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, I used hedging strategies to allocate part of my portfOlio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay finan-cially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on invest-ments.
pls how can I reach this expert, I need someone to help me manage my portfolio.
I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since everyone's situation varies, but I've worked with "Melissa Elise Robinson" for years and highly recommend her. See if she meets your criteria.
