What are some of your favorite index funds and ETFs?

[HugoBergmann-lund]

Investing in mutual funds offers a structured and diversified approach to building wealth, managed by professional fund managers. While there are costs and some limitations, the benefits of diversification, professional management, and ease of access make mutual funds a popular choice for achieving a variety of financial goals.

Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals.

So far, as I learn and understand the basics of investing, I’ve found Herman Jonas to be of great help to me in my investment journey.

Stocks are falling and bond yields are rising, but markets still don’t seem convinced the Federal Reserve will pursue plans to keep increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $138k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

[flemmingbrooke]

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 $150k per year, but nothing to show for it yet.

Investing in the stock market has HISTORICALLY provided higher returns than other forms of investment. According to Morningstar, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, which measures the performance of 500 large-cap stocks, was approximately 10% from 1926 to 2020.

Legends to embrace if you want to get rich investing Mark and Gary Joe Wilde.

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[FinancialFreedomMadeSimple]

Ive looked for days for a good simple real explanation of these inbetween them, and this is, NOT ONLY the best video/description, its THE ONLY one i could find.

[RashedHaikal]

Huge amount of free knowledge greatly presented! Thank you! Also with humor :)

[willian]

Whatever you do always have a plan of what to expect but prepare for risks, understanding this one information saved me from losses I wasn’t prepared for, opened an investment portfolio and stories started coming in till I found the right way

[murphygreene]

The best way to find growth stocks, key features to keep in mind is as follows: 1. Ensure gross margins are greater than 50% 2. Ensure P/E ratio is less than 100 3. Buy companies that are PROFITABLE, very important irrespective of sector. 4. Debt to equity ratio is less than 30% 5. Current ratio is above I 6. and a Float under 100 million One stock that fits the bill is FLGT (Fulgent)

[financetime]
