I sometimes use my ETFs to buy dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same place. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $700k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

Currently I'm just being smart and frugal with my money, I'm in the green 47% over the last 23 months and l've accumulated over $700K in pure profits from DCA’ing into stocks, ETFs, dividends and futures. However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait.

Hey there! Just wanted to remind you that it's never too late to start taking your investment journey serious. I remember struggling for years before diving into crypto last year and let me tell you, it completely changed my life so don't lose hope, my friend.

[jessicamoore]

My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my savings crumble to dust.

Insightful video. I just want to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments. I'm 27, and earn nothing less than $150k per year, but nothing to show for it yet

[Raymondjohn]

Yes 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 folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[stephaniestella]

I want to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460, 000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused about the current market volatility, i'm open to ideas...

[kimyoung]

I REALLY need to make this money work for me, and not just disappear over time. I've been scrambling for somewhere to put the money, where I can make an effort to use the gains to pay bills so I can quit my job or should force early retirement. All roads have pointed to the financial market of some sort which is a good idea buh where else should I put money besides the financial market? We have a 13% RPI rate so cash is tough.

[NoahWilliam]

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams . Success is a state of mind . I start investing my cash in other to achieve all my dream.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

These are very valuable info for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.

[annaj.osorio]

I am trying to avoid making any new buys at this point in other not to get sucked into a bear market trap.It's tough making money in stocks when institutional investors are the driving force behind the selling.. although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

[gorgealex]

"My gratitude and praise to this team of guru's for bringing my life back on track when I thought everything was gone, but with the help guidelines I was able to realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment"

[karensmith]

We work for 40yrs to have $1M in our retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for months ago and now they are multimillionaires power of digital currency.

[lucasrusel]

This is awesome from Warren! potential seems timeless. Diversifying income flow and chalking out a plan remains the smart way to prepare for the unexpected and the best way to grow and sustain wealth. 11yrs in investing space and extremely pleased with the decision I made. The good news is — it’s not too late

[rosalieroku]

Why is Warren Buffet such a spectacularly successful investor?
He said:
"I just re-read the 1932 Annual Report from GM"
That is what's known as "due diligence"

[andersonfuller]

I’m the guy who asked the question - I think Charlie is insulting me saying I should know the answer to my own question 😂

[Jakekhalid]

Working with a financial specialist can help you get ready for life. Since I was actively cashing out from my portfolio and finally made over 370k just in the first quarter while everyone else was lamenting the downturn, I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Rodger Michael Karl early this year. Michael Rodger Karl has helped us with debt repayment and retirement planning.
