With the approval of bitcoin ETFs, it's widely expected that the price of bitcoin will soar past $100k. I'd be remiss not to capitalize on this opportunity immediately. I'm eager to invest my $500k in cash savings, which currently languish in the face of inflation. However, I'm concerned: is it perhaps a bit late to maximize profits at this juncture?

Buying of ETFs is easy, but buying the right one without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence which is best to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I started stacking to SAVE wealth. I've always been the type of person to spend my entire paycheck. I hate having money just sit in the bank. I am under pressure to grow my reserve of $950k. before I turn 60, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.

While trying to build passive income and prepare for retirement, It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen people making up to $800k in a month during high-inflation

Great video. One really important point is where the ETF is domiciled as that has tax implications for the individual.

I really enjoy your clarifications and also your commentary on the videos you share.

Buy a good cross section of an economy, Build a diverse portfolio that keeps you motivated, Speed up the process where possible:i'm all for dividends and i DRIP into etfs (ARKW, VOO, VXUS, IVV) and company stocks. After my first million I realized that when a stock starts booming chances of you finding out means you are quite late to the party, for this I make sure my CFA handles that, ever grateful to Emily Lois Parker. It's like turning your notifications to earn more millions.

Talking about exchange symbols, there is an ETF in NYSE with symbol EMXC, and another ETF in LSE also with symbol EMXC. They were from different ETF providers, listed on different exchanges, yet track the same index.
And then there're many ETFs with different symbols, which differ only in trading currency (VUSA is in GBP, CHF, or EUR depending on exchange; VUSD is in USD)
And then there're many ETFs with both accumulating and distributing versions. These two versions trade under different symbols.
And then many ETFs listed in Asian exchanges use digit-only symbols, which means completely different thing in different exchanges.

4:27. Not the case. VOO is the S&P 500 in USA whereas in the UK it is VUSA

Hi great video- thoughts on MOAT vaneck wide moat etf?! I hold VAS and VGS and don't want much portfolio overlap. But thought this might be a good additional share, that has mainly well researched high moat US ETFs without much overlap, and likely good performance ongoing?
