5 Ways to Create A Diverse Portfolio Without Index Funds | See Our Investment Portfolio (Ep. 7)

Our Rich Journey - 5 Ways to Create A Diverse Portfolio Without Index Funds | See Our Investment Portfolio (Ep. 7): It’s the end of the month and time for another stock portfolio update! In March of 2020, we invested $5,000 into three index funds within this portfolio. Each month after that, we invested another $1,200 and provided a video update on our portfolio as part of our monthly investing series. But, we don’t just show you the performance of our portfolio. We also answer investment questions. In this video, we show you the performance of our portfolio and we also talk about ways that you can diversify your portfolio without investing in index funds. Of course, we LOVE index funds and talk a lot about them on our channel. But, in this video, we wanted to give you other options for diversifying your portfolio. Thanks for watching!

Hello you guys! We finally did it and started investing! Actually, I did all the ETF "shopping" after my husband and I decided together how to create our diverse portfolio(s). And I am so proud of myself that I can call myself financially literate! All the work of learning gave me so much confidence and I know what we are doing. It still takes some courage, but I don't feel like I am gambling at all. Thank you for being such wonderful role models! This helps me immensely as I can't talk with many people about this topic. Thank you for creating your wonderful content! Hugs, Kati

I love how you take a complex topic and make it so simple to understand.

Nothing like the combination of index funds and a diverse portfolio to help me sleep at night. Minimize risk, maximize happiness!

[papafiob]

I actually look forward to this episode every month

The best of the best investment anyone can make is to marry the right person (a tough ask for the majority)- you seam to have cracked it - it's called the power of 2.

What a family! So supportive of each other!

Hi Amon & Christina 👋🏽
I’m late to the world of investing BUT thanks to watching your videos & learning from you both, & doing my own research, so far I’ve:
1. Opened an IRA with Vanguard (VTSAX)
2. Opened with Charles Schwab (SWTSX)
3. Bought 2 shares of ETFs at Vanguard (VTI) .
I’M SOOO PROUD OF MYSELF 🙌🏽👏🏽✌🏽👊🏽.
Thank you both for helping to educate us. Love from across the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm a woman in my mid-20's but I think of you two as my financially savvy youtube parents 😂 Thanks for sharing great advice and guiding newbies, like myself, through all of this!

I’m throwing a decent amount into AT&T (in a diversified portfolio). Currently has near a 7.5% dividend that appears to be pretty safe. Also grabbing Chase while banks are pretty beat up.

Spent 3 hours on a Sunday morning binge watching all of your Investment Portfolio episodes. Love it and the additional information you put into these videos. Keep up the great work!

[AlanaBertozzi]

I LOVE your channel I am in the process of rebalancing my portfolio and moving my profits (realized gains) into buying index funds. With the Dow up at 30, 000 yesterday I sold specific shares and moved that money between my savings and buying index funds.. For me I realized I was too overly invested in individual stocks. Thanks for your sound teaching !

[suatkilic]

I think we might need videos on how to do income generating portfolio and capital gain portfolio separately. Thanks

[harrshitagangwaanii]

Hello
This is the first time i am watching your video. I want to say that you guys are doing a fantastic job by giving back to the society, with such insightful videos. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I shall be watching each and every video of yours as and when time permits. Great going. Keep it up.

[ningh]

Love your contents! Thanks for sharing. Question: Do you have a good mechanism to determine if the stock market is too high and to stop adding more to this portfolio or even to sell?

[TheFamilyONetwork]

I see “Our Rich Journey” new upload alert on my phone and I either tap “watch later” or watch right then and hit thumbs up. I’m a simple person😂. Thank you guys!

[marqueswilliams]

Just curious - When you actively investing (monthly) did you all invest just that one time per month or did you spread it out over a couple weeks?

[donaldlynch]

I think you guys are great. You actually really have me thinking about my future.

[LimitlessCat]

Have you guys switched from Vanguard to Fidelity or is this for illustrative purposes only?
