yo why is this channel consistently someof the best content in the finance space?? super solid work again professor!!

[rynewilliams]

Man you hit the nail right on the head. Ignore the noise, keep your head down, and keep investing. 📈

[clemfarley]

I’ve been waiting for the crash for 5-6 years.

When the Dow crashed to 17k, I was told by my Wall Street buddies that it was going lower.

It didn’t, and it went up to 34k.

If your time horizon is decades, don’t waste time trying to time.

I totally agree with the great content of this video. No one knows what the market will do tomorrow. It could take a big downturn, take a big upswing, trade sideways, trade slightly up or trade slightly down. In fact, it will do all of those and more over time. If you truly are investing for the long run, just keep buying. In 10, 20 or 30 years, you will be so glad you did. The key is formulating a good plan and remaining disciplined to that plan, not allowing fear or greed to alter your goals. Fear can cause you to abort a good plan, missing out on great buying opportunities and greed can cause you to chase after higher returns creating more risk than you need to entangle yourself with. Commit to the plan and simply stay the course. Consistently buying VOO is a great plan.

I redused my investing rate about 50% and will increase 50% in case of a crash 😃

[hondarider]

I feel like I've become a pro at completely ignoring the share price and just buying. I've been buying VOO since it was $200 a share and every few dollars people said it was too high

[tonyf]

Yes 100% agree with dollar cost averaging and blocking out the noise!

I’m in Australia and have been investing a substantial amount a month into the S&P 500 via our adviser in VOO as part of our strategy and can say time flattens all the big drops and long term +10% pa is a great outcome!

[knowledgeseeker]

Simply time and market never moves backwards, so invest whenever you can and stay in market no matter what happens

[Alan-hcqi]

Great video! I was expecting you to say time the market based on the title. But I think you’re analysis is spot on!

There is a graph of three investors investing in the S&P.

One invests in absolute bottom, one in absolute top, and one consistently invests. In the end, obviously the perfect timer won, but it was very close.

Moral of the story is to stay invested. Because investments compound and dividends get reinvested, and that is what catapults your investments over time. Basically, the old homage of time in the market > timing the market wins. It’s the most controllable outcome.

Good Morning I’m still investing in VOO just not as much right now, taking advantage of the opportunity in SCHD and putting the majority of my investments in there while it’s still down.Great Video

For some reason, When I want to evaluate any investment, I ignore the DCA part because this is my contribution not the the stock/ETF gain.
Of course, our additions to any investment would make it look good even if it’s making a loss.

[georgeedwards]

Around June and earlier of this year many fund managers were telling people not to invest in S & P 500. Guess what, they were all wrong. Their never is a wrong time to invest in this index. Don't be fooled by timing junkies. The history of this fund suggests you must invest consistantly and over time you will have better returns than most funds.

[DividendenInvestor]

hey great channel. I come from Germany and am also stubbornly and steadily investing 1000 euros every month in the sp500 for the next 35 years. Unfortunately, the Germans hardly invest, and if so, not in the sp500 but rather in the All World or msci World index. The German mentality is fear of not being diversified enough to only invest in the sp500. I like the index and buy more aggressively when there is a setback. Good luck to all of us for the next 35 years of sp500🎉🎉🎉

[dathat]

I doubled down on dollar cost averaging the SP500 all of 2022 and benefitted from the 2023 rise. However I am looking at retiring at the end of 2023 and more cash appeals to me. I may shift my retirement account contributions for the remainder of the year to a cash allocation to avoid continuing to buy at or near a possible peak. I will have enough cash to ride out a 2-3 year downturn and plan to hold my current SP500 positions for the longer term.

Indeed, there's always constant fearmongering clickbait headlines and bad news, but the market hits all time highs quite often, and they're usually not followed by major dips. 24% of months have been record highs for the U.S. stock market historically, and only 1.14% of those months have been followed by a decline greater than 10% within the 12 months following. Market timing tends to be more harmful than helpful, as you're usually just missing out on gains while sitting on cash as you noted.

[midwestbd]

I didn’t start investing until February of 2023 and still made 6% just in the last 2 months. I plan to invest less when the prices are higher and more when it’s low but always buying no matter what.

[tomw]

Don’t try to time the market. Keep dollar cost averaging but keep significant cash to invest heavily in case of a crash. But you have no idea what the market will do. Just because the market is high doesn’t mean it can’t go much higher and just because it’s low it doesn’t mean it can’t go much lower. The only thing you know is that it’ll continue to go up on average over the long run. Just keep buying and never sell unless you need cash to make a purchase or have another investment you want to get into.

[Michaeldotcom]

Agree s and p 500 is expensive right now. Schd is a much safer investment right now.

[ljrockstar]

I think just continue dollar cost averaging, and if it does go down have cash ready to invest more during a dip.

[the_debtfree_investor]

You should buy the S&P 500 when it was down in 2022. You can't time the market but you can buy regularly.
