Why You Shouldn’t ONLY Buy The S&P 500 🚨

[michaelfinn]

That's a lot of talking for not saying much

80% equities 20% cash. I plan to take advantage of the current market situation as leading indicators predict a more bullish S&P 500 by 2025, my only concern is how to properly allocate a large stock/bond portfolio for maximum returns and zero-minimal risk.

Sounds like: "Saturday always follows Friday, but be careful, you might trip up on Wednesday" 😂

Totally depends of how much you are withdrawing every year. At even figuring a very conservative average return of 6% (keeping it all in an S&P 500 index fund) I can withdraw $48, 000 a year and still have $625, 000(in 30 years) after drawing out 4000 a month every month for that for 30 years.

And this is also factoring in paying 25% taxes on the withdraws.

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.

Something, something, dont give an elephant a crab cake on sundays in Philadelphia. Best advice I ever got.

I feel like you hit record 30 seconds late and ended 30 seconds early…

I think he’s saying you have to sell S&P 500 Index to have income while dividend eft you always own & live off dividends. Plus you can pass in to create generational wealth. I say invest in both because S&P is growth & dividends are supplemental passive income.

For retirement yes but for someone with a 20+ year horizon i dont see a reason to hold bonds as you get closer to retirement so should ur investment rule of thumb is 60/40 us stock and bond

[coastalhillbilly]

For me S&P Is well worth the risk longterm but still gonna have multiple buckets and draw from the bucket that's the fullest

There are times where small and mid cap have outpaced the large caps.

Bro I respectfully don’t get what you said, it makes no sense to me.

I could be wrong in my understanding maybe but it would not have much of an effect at all vs if you owned diversified funds.

The fund IS diversified, so it’s better to only place more of your money into one or two funds to accelerate the compound effect.

This is my opinion though.

[bryantha]

Do you feel the same about a Total Stock Market index fund?

[aprilwilcock]

How much should I start with when starting to invest in the S&P 500? If I want to put in £500 a month what should my first payment be?

[Constitution]

The wording could've been more concise. Your argument sounds unconvincing.

[johngill]

Holding the SP 500 and nothing else would cause me to loose sleep. There is just too much unnecessary risk in holding one asset class

Somethings just shouldn't be made into Shorts.

This one repeated itself, went nowhere and was Not helpful!
