I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

Losing over $300, 000 on $GME and $BBBY was crushing. Now, with low risk tolerance, I want a simple portfolio of three holdings—index funds, ETFs, mutual funds, or growth stocks.

I am a senior citizen and I believe that no one can become rich overnight, it takes years of smart work not hard work, time management and the right investments. Every year you don't invest you simply fall a year behind and I say this from experience.

[rubybabiera]

The thing I love about YouTube is people like you shares stuff like this. I searched up places how to invest and they would make me sign up to places where I have to pay money to learn about investing and I’m like nah

[monicasamuels]

Top notch!! With $1.5m in my portfolio, I've only 10 stocks & now receiving six figures in dividends yearly. I invested a lump sum in trading stocks with a licensed broker who diversified my portfolio & handles my trades.

[rhiannonparkins]

This has been the best explanation for beginners. Iv been trying to wrap my head round it for months and this was so simple. You used terminology and explained it for me to understand unlike other videos where they expect you to know what that means.

[jenniferwong]

You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

The most popular investment portfolio strategies include diversification, where you spread investments across different asset classes to manage risk. Another is the growth strategy, focused on capital appreciation through high-risk, high-reward assets. Income-oriented strategies target regular income from dividend stocks or bonds. Finally, there's the value strategy, seeking undervalued assets for potential long-term gains.

If you’re young and looking at a 10+yr horizon, just do QLD. Put fixed amount each week. Don’t panic when market crashes.

[CyrusSancken]

Moving from single stocks to ETFs, tired of the circus. Thoughts on your best possible strategies to hedge a 6-figure portfolio from dwindling please?

[viviancarolgioao]

I got 80k now and I got no where to dump bro, everything is jacked up in the stock market.

[RussellHahn-ug]

I Hit $87, 590 today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last week. i started with 20k in last week 2025... now i just hit $87, 590..

[collectum-world]

what I love is that you actually make a video about investing in 2025 and not just update earlier titles like others :D

[Davies-Edward]

I feel investors should be considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $470k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[oscarvision]

Of all the videos I’ve seen about investing for beginners, I actually understood everything being said. Thank you Vincent! 😊

[ConnectedToMeNow]

You are the only person on YouTube Vincent that makes investing understandable. I look forward to your emails every week because I'm ready to stop procrastinating and start making compound interest on my money instead of inflation taking it away.

[AlexSummerville-gi]

Buy and hodl investing is where the long term magic happens stay focused

[sugabre]

I am a beginner investor. Love the way you broke everything down. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with folks like myself that are just getting started.

[justinmirche]

Investing can seem daunting at first, but this guide is incredibly clear and beginner-friendly! The breakdown of index funds, live walkthrough, and advice on long-term strategies make it so approachable.

[JohnCaldera-tt]

For boomers and senior citizens, the current market and economy are unnecessarily harder.
I'm used to simply purchasing and holding assets, which doesn't seem applicable to the current volatile market, and inflation is catching up with my portfolio. My biggest concern is whether I'll survive after retirement.
