RECESSION ALERT: The 5 BEST Index Funds To Buy ASAP

The YouTube Creator Academy:

MY PERSONAL TOP 5 INDEX FUNDS:

1. Vanguard SP500 Index Fund - VFIAX
VFIAX is created to track the ENTIRE SP500 - which, consists of Top 500 Publicly Traded Stocks in the United States. Buying THIS ONE FUND is basically the equivalent of owning the companies that make up three-fourths of the US Stock Market’s value.

2. The Total Stock Market Index fund - VTSAX
VTSAX is designed to give you exposure to the ENTIRE US Equities Market, which, includes small, mid-sized, and large companies - and for one low price, you can own a small piece of 4100 DIFFERENT STOCKS.

3. The Vanguard International Index Fund - VTIAX
This is an index fund that covers the stock market OUTSIDE of the United States, including emerging markets, Europe, the Pacific, The Middle East, and North America. Some of their largest holdings are companies that many of us use day to day, from Semiconductors, Video Games, Alibaba, Samsung, Nestle, Toyota, and so on. 

4. The Vanguard GROWTH Index - VIGAX
VIGAX contains a mix of 266 different companies, all geared towards the businesses which - lately - have done exceeding well.

5. The Vanguard Global Market Index Fund - VTWAX
If you took everything I've just mentioned…smashed it all together…and then, threw in emerging markets, along with everything ELSE you can think of…that’s THIS. It gives you exposure throughout the global stock market, with a portfolio of nearly 10,000 different stocks…so, this is just about as diversified as you can possibly get.

6. The Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund - VGSLX.
This is an index fund that invests in a mixture of “Real Estate Investment Trusts,” where - instead of owning a fraction of a stock - you own a fraction of a company, that owns and operates commercial and residential real estate.

So between everything I just mentioned, you should be able to find the PERFECT index fund to invest in…and, even though I used Vanguard as our example…there are a MULTITUDE of different options to chose from, and if you prefer to buy the ETF…any brokerage will do.

With bonds overpriced, gold overpriced, real estate overpriced, the only place I found wise to put money is the trade market because from my experience it’s paid off more than any other investment I’ve gotten into.

Given the current condition of affairs, I suppose I should view a video on "How to Survive the Current Recession." In fact, it's a complete failure. I was amazed that some people could still earn more than $$$k in a short period of time. If this is still true, please explain how.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months. I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

What about Fidelity index funds that don’t require $3, 000 minimums? You didn’t mention them.

To who ever sees this…JUST KEEP PUSHING AND STAY FOCUSED. The struggle you're in today is developing strength you need for tomorrow! THE HARD WORK WILL PAY OFF!🤞🏽💪🏽❤️‍🔥

The intro: “What’s up Graham it’s guys here”. lol

[SerenityNow]

I already invest in some of these funds… While there are other brokerage equivalents, I’m not a fan Charles Schwab for the simple reason that it always seems to take them way (months) longer than other brokerages to release your investment tax documents. Which delays filing your taxes by a considerable amount of time. Very important if you’ve been a victim of identity theft or are worried about identity theft.

I personally like VOO better than VTI, but VTI is much cheaper out of the two.

1929-1959 this methodology would have definitely worked but not that well as compared to just selling... knowing everything was gonna crash. It's impossible to time the market but with our resources today it's easy to see we are in a recession and things will get worse. If you choose to go all in on index funds then getting out of them right now and going back in once stuff gets a little cheaper.... might mean you lose money but way less if you choose to stay in and invest monthly.

Thank you😊 for this video, do you offer account management or have any recommendations?

[jameskourygabriel]

We work for years to have, $1million while some people I know put thousand of dollars in some meme coins and they are millionaires.

[chubychan]

no Charles Schwab index funds? how come?

[HOWBOUTTASHORYUKEN]

I just bought $1 of 100 stocks and ETFs set up recurring deposits for a dollar a day. That way I have equal weights and more volatility 😎 just trade options during the day

[bruceconnor]

The current market has an equal possibility of making high-value gains or losses, so I'm cautious with my selections; I recently read an article about someone that accrued over $250k in this current market crash, and I could really need ideas on how to achieve similar profits.

Could anybody share with me the fidelity equivalent of all of these funds listed or is it wise for me to just invest in these funds on fidelity (if that’s even possible). My wife has vanguard, we will be investing in these on here Roth.

[cmo]

Hey graham do you recommend maxing out Roth IRA contributions every year?
