A year has passed and she still hearts comments. Freaking legend.

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. 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?

[shellylofgren]

I've heard that index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. I have over $800K in savings; What's the most effective strategy to allocate funds in my portfolio and generate profits?

[RickWatson-xugw]

Rather of relying on penny stocks, I wish to diversify my assets by investing in ETFs/index funds/mutual funds and stocks of corporations with stable cash flows. I received 350k from the selling of my El-Paso property. What should I do?

[AK-hihm]

finally someone explains it like i'm in middle school, needed that

[Lena-lphb]

I love how she get to the point... no fluff in the beginning

[RianneMision]

This was so clear and concise for complete beginners who are intimidated by the complexities of the stock market. Thanks so much for all you do!

I am 48 and I am completely ignorant of stock market and investments, my ignorance on the matter makes me believe there is always a catch and not invest, this video is my first of many that I am planning to watch to educate myself and start investing for my family’s future 🙏🙏🙏

[thefootballplanet]

yes, finally someone that explains things without sounding like they have a train to catch

[royjaber]

Rose literally explained it the best way possible out of all the videos I watched

[TheWalkingCameraChannel]

Thank you! Someone who finally clearly explained the different between ETFs and Index funds! Could never understand why someone would pick one over the other as a long term investor! Thanks.

[tracywright]

A NICE VIDEO, EVERYONE NEEDS MORE THAN THEIR BASIC INCOME TO BE FINANCIALLY SECURED. THE BEST THING TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY IS TO INVEST IT BECAUSE MONEY LEFT IN THE BANK ALWAYS END UP BEEN USED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WITH NO RETURNS. I USED TO BE A VICTIM OF SUCH, NOT ANYMORE. I INVESTED AND MAKE STEADY PROFITS.

You would imagine how long it took to find a video that simplified it enough for everyone to understand

Mutual Funds (MF's):
1. Convenience - a bundle of different stocks in one purchase - 01:22
2. Diversification - minimize risk - 02:00
3. Professional fund managers - Active Mgt ~ expertise to select comes w/ 1-2% fees - 02:33

Index Funds (IF's:) - 04:00 - They are a type of MF's, but passively managed, replicating S&P 500 index behavior, then, minimum fees. Transactions (buy and/or sell) ONLY once a day.
IF's offer Automatic Reinvestment - added feature w/o fees to automate a frequent purchase - 08:18

Exchanged Traded Funds (ETF's): Can be purchased as often as desired, ; each transaction has fees. No Automatic Reinvestment for ETF's - 06:29

I'm 70 and retired, I have $302k in a bank savings account making nearly nothing in interest. I’d like to put it in a HYSA (5%) or should i put a portion in index funds? I have $400k in an annuity. How do i maximize all this to make gains this year?

[Harleylover]

For me, the main benefit of ETFs over index funds is the lower barrier to entry. Most index funds have a higher minimum investment than their ETF equivalent.

[lynncoffey]

I've watched so many videos on this and you're the first who was clear and easy to understand. Thanks.

[josefinasadhaka]

This totally answered an IMPORTANT question that I didn’t even know to ask. Thank you for cutting to the bare essentials and equipping us with answers we didn’t even know we needed!

[QuebecSouverain]

Thank you for the nice and understandable explanation. I'm a new investor and wanted to buy mostly ETFs for their high dividend yields and mostly stable market price. But knowing you can invest in index funds with recurring automatic payments without having to pay commission fees seems really interesting. I will definitely look into index funds more

[drbobusa]

Wow, I'm new to investments and you broke the whole thing into such simple words, easy to understand. I hope other YouTubers learn from you.
