Why You should NEVER Invest in Hedge Funds!!

#Hedge Fund #Money #Trading
I get a lot of questions about personal finance and wealth building...Today's lecture explains why you should NEVER invest with a hedge fund and why you should take a much simpler approach to your long terms investments...

the title of this video aged like a fine wine! This crap with Reddit is just hilarious... "DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT HEDGE FUND MANAGERS DON'T USE STOP LOSSES!?!?" (on FREAKING SHORTS that have limited profitability and unlimited potential for losses!?!?)

My favorite time of the week. Better than Christmas (no shopping required.)

Ty jarred. I took a trade today and made 1000$. Followed my plan and I got stopped out. It’s ok. Money management is first. Grateful!! Ty 🙏

Here is what is mainly wrong with hedge funds : The moment you invest with a typical hedge fund you get charged 2 % on your initial investment as management fees .. Let’s say you invest 200K with an hedge fund and they keep your money in a year .. If they return NOTHING on your investment, you now have 196K ... Or if they produce 4 % return on your investment, you now have a little over 203K after the performance fees on top of the management fees... So ... regardless of the outcome, the hedge fund gets its 4K right away ... And that’s exactly why you should NEVER invest with a hedge fund because their PRIMARY drive is NOT make you money but keep you invested as long as possible so that they keep charging their 2 % ... If they are the “ experts “, shouldn’t they ONLY make money if they beat the market consistently and make their clients money ? ?

I can see where a hedge fund would say that their goal isn't to "beat" the market, but instead to hedge against the market going against an investor. But, that wouldn't explain how they - barely - beat the market in the only negative year on the study. That year should have been a positive for hedge funds or at the VERY least a 0% return. Instead, it was within acceptable margin of error for VTSAX.

Thanks Jared! I was hoping you’d spend a moment on ETF’s, but I think your suggestion for VTSAX is solid. For those that don’t have the 3k minimum to buy into that one, Vanguard has an ETF equivalent, VTI.

Hi Jared, I always enjoy watching your videos, BUT this is the BEST video I have seen for a long time. All the best for the new year.

Jim Simmons is a genious. His company returned 66 % gross, 39% a year on average after fees. Average hedge funds probably underperformed but these guys are not average ones:)

[davidfernandez]

That intro had sweet crispy audio! Seeing some improvement in your recording skills, I love that!

[stevetaffy]

This clip is so absolutely perfect for my ears. Literally looking into S&S ISA and noticed the high fees but I've been told "that's normal". Thankyou for this. Im gonna check out your recommendations . Got bless you jared 🙏 ❤ 💙

[antoniovarnica]

Jared you are brutaly honest. That is best thing for all People that want to trade. Just most of them don't know that jet, or they don't want to know and run from True. Tnx for every leasson.

[CRpatriot]

I love your brutal honesty and calling people out on their stupidity. I’m going to paper trade as long as possible before I keep losing my real hard earned money 😩🤯🙈

[usaever]

Funny you made this video just about a month before the Wall Street Bets historical event which involves hedge funds LOL!

[FrankDavis]

Jared,

Another excellent lecture, but what do you think about robo investors? For instance, Wealthfront? Do you think they are good or is it still better to just put money in a vanguard index fund?

[BannorPhil]

Great, well-presented and well-researched lecture! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

I hate to admit it, but I got burned on GNUS as well. I bought it at $8 on the uptick. When it hit $11, I set my stop loss at $9 and then suddenly a press release came out and said they were dumping 60+ million shares way below the current price and GNUS fell so fast my stop loss was never filled. It went from $11 to $7 in 10 minutes. No one could get out. Here's the deal though, this stock is a pump and dump. I bought this as a recommendation from a trading friend of mine, before I did my usual research. By going through a check list I use, I avoid crap stocks like this. And yeah Jared is spot on about taking classes and learning this stuff. I spent $2500 on classes and you can't beat the lessons learned. Oh and learn something else about trading - DON'T BE LAZY. The one person in the whole world that has more interest in making you money for YOU, is NOT your broker, they make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year trading your money win or lose. The one person with the most to lose or gain is YOU! Your broker doesn't give a rats butt. Remember that. A broker can't promise you 10% in returns a year yet some of us make that monthly (I made 20% this month). How? We are perpetual students, constantly learning from our peers - like Jared, like Charlie (Zip Traders), like Timothy Sykes... it's a mine field out here... learn from someone else that has made it and walk in their steps. Merry Christmas.

Is it possible to learn a bot how to trade like he does?
