Total beginner here. I've got $25k to invest in stocks and bonds, and I want to grow it effectively while managing risk. What's the best way to allocate my assets and choose the right stocks for long-term growth? Any tips for someone just starting out?
I made $876k earlier last week which is the minimum range of Sonia Molina trading investment, I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family's all thanks to
(@Mrssoniamolina) she's truly a life changer..
I invest in guns, worse case scenario i take myself out when i dont get shet for my investment 😂
which stock/etf would you invest in with $100k?
Instead of daily, do it on payday.
Someone said pay yourself first – this helps people who would spend instead of investing and getting wealthy.
Been doing all these safe strategies for 2 years dollar-cost averaging, index funds, ETFs… barely keeping up with inflation. Everyone says it’s easy money but my portfolio feels like it’s in a coma.
Such great content! Thank you so much for this research and solid advice!
I'm retired at 47, went from Grace to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife and 35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love❤️
This douchebag is NOT the guy you want to listen to – on anything – let alone money.
I’ve read every book on making money, and ‘The Secret Side of Wealth’ is one of the few books I suggest everyone read. It’s that powerful and eye-opening
Dude hit the gym and get rid of those man boobs. Why not have some actual humility and instead of calling btc holders "lucky" maybe try to give them credit for having some foresight. Unless this channel is a grift, to have the conviction of buying the dips and holding when the price has setbacks is something you have no understanding of.
Since virtually no one invests every day, I would curious how this would look when matched either traditional paycheck period – DCA every 1-2 weeks versus NOT buying in when there is clearly a dip or downturn BUT – space out the dip buying to only once per 1-2-3 months since it keeps going down and not knowing the bottom
The market's movements are so dynamic, and I admit I can't always keep up. That's one of the reasons I've sought guidance from an expert. Some might think I'm exaggerating, but in the last 6 months, I've seen around 60% in profits. Sure, skeptics might say I'm lying, but the numbers don't lie. By leaning on an expert, I've found it takes less time, effort, and sacrifice on my part, and I'm much closer to my financial goals.
There are so many financial adviser scams in the comments that I put this channel in the same ilk.
There’s no “only”—but Forbidden Knowledge of Wealth by Vincent Dain gives you a mindset that no strategy can replace.
Ken Fisher of Fisher investment debunks dollar cost averaging, your paying more for the index with DCA
The next short squeeze rally is coming 🚀 Spotted some strong bullish setups! 🤑💰
Great video
just buy Uber and SoFi and outperform this slow boring EsEnPi
Leaving it alone is called "Coffee Can" investing.
Just go all in on the best stock . 😂 im starting to wonder why I dont just go all in on nvidia . Instead im spending all this time trying to find stocks on the dip. Like what are we doing? … great video
One thing this model totally discounts is what we are doing. I don't think most people who say "buy the dip" as their main investment strategy are saying to do it with a massive index fund. They are people who are picking individual assets they like that dipped more than they should have. The only occasion I would "buy the dip" on an index fund is if it looks like the best deal on that given day.
I think yes for passive investors who just want to match the market and not think about it of course DCA is the best way to accomplish that.
Personally I have like 15% in gold and if an actual crash happens I'll sell the gold and buy the dip and catch me some falling knives.
Pretty good take sir. Not everyone has a gamblers spirit and its a shame when folks miss out because of too much fear and not enough greed. Imagine if every baby boomer invested 15% of their income over all that time rather than give it away to the obviously evil people at the social security office. You should do a video on that , teach the z and alpha kids a valuable lesson. They seem to just get it more than the old timers. I mean you probably understand what I mean when I say if you get it we can work with you, if you dont get it you will never get it and should probably just pay a professional to manage it for you. Like hiring a landscaper to mow your lawn, you can do it but you won't so get it done however . I digress but I'd be curious to get you fine folks opinion on the topic.
One thing which you missed is that you will be getting interest from the bank till the time the money is accumaling and waiting to be deployed. This will surely increase the difference.
Just keep buying!
Hey Paul, in one of your videos, can you walk us through how to buy 90 days treasuries? Or direct us to a previous video if you made one before. Thank you!
It really doesn't matter what price you buy a company.
The only thing that matters is that the value of that company increases or decreases.
If it increases and then starts to come down some, sell it for profit.
There are around 252 trading days each year.
You have to average only $397 per day to make $100,000 a year.
That's it…$397 per day.
With $100,000 or more, a monkey can make $397 per day.
I really have to say that what you're talking about is probably the absolutely most foundational idea in investing. Dollar cost averaging I can't seem to get through to my family about this the only way I can think of now is just to show them 😉
It's funny because I just did the same calculations using SPX and python 2 weeks ago and came with similar results
Should rerun the numbers where the cash was sitting in bonds and money market funds earning interest with all proceeds reinvested
I can't do DCA because I have no disposable income. Should I even be in the market?
If it’s a good investment, dollar cost averaging is a bad strategy. If it’s a good investment, invest it now. Not investing the money today so I can “average” the cost over time is irrational and gives worse results.
How about both buy the dip and DCA?
DCA But double down when 50 EMA Crosses 200 EMA, then go back to normal at reversal IS even BETTER!!!
Anyone that says buy this dip is a clown and think they know the future
Thoughts on SCHG as an alternative to VOO for the average man? Can accumulate more shares faster to sell Covered Calls.
I'm so shocked that I need a beer and it's only 9am, lol. SHOCKED!!!!
I think this just goes to show that buying the dip can be better, your strategy was extremely simple and could likely be tailored more to give better returns.
Assuming you’ve properly assessed the assets you want to buy in the market if you have a chunk of cash wouldn’t it be better just to lump sum that money in very beginning as opposed to a dollar cost averaging that into the market? Time in the market beats timing in the market, right?
I enjoy listening to you Paul. One reason is that it’s free! I have zero interest in listening to so called experts! There performance doesn’t justify their existence! Thank you for the message you are giving so many for just a few minutes of their time.
Stay the course always works.
I suspect you might get different results if you didn't go "all-in." What if you graduate the amount invested either by the depth or length of the downturn–so you're not going "all-in" at the first 2% drop. This way you should perform better in deeper drops or longer downturns. This would be more in line with how I think about "buy-the-dip." And yeah, as someone else mentioned if you're not factoring in the interest rate you can earn on the money in the money market during that period–with compounding, this could be a large impact.
I think a more interesting analysis would be to see how these concepts function if you replace outright purchases with sales of puts. i.e. selling puts on dips or selling puts regularly.
What if you played a bit with numbers. 2% and 22 days is just one of the hundreds of combinations.
Loaddddd the boatttttt on nvidia. The boatttttt
Agreed. I have an MBA in accounting and I had work this out im my early years. Not much of a difference, but dca saves you a lot of headachea and anxiety.
saving money to buy the dip sucks. It causes anxiety and is always on the back of my mind. I rather just buy when I get money. Period!
Very interesting The only problem is I would never buy more of a stock because it's down 2%, it would have to be down more than that. Shouldn't it have more to do with your stock going down a certain percent when you buy in as opposed to the entire market going down 2%?
📉 Run another analysis removing the Stupid Dips. You have untrained people calling out dips in crashing markets. The price keeps on dipping 📉📉📉.
They don't know technically analysis or chart reading. To identify price zones to begin accumulation and DCA. Begin your analysis at 30-50% retractment. Into bottoming pattern. Back into uptrend 📈.
Stop DCA at tops ⛰️. Sell 50% at correction to preserve profits. Start DCA again at 30-50% into correction.
