    I just opened a Roth IRA account with Betterment and Wealthfront. I put $6500 in each. (Contributed to 2023 in betterment and 2024 in Wealthfront) so I can see how they compare to each other over the course of the year. Could you give me some tips as to how I should compare their performances?

    Once upon a time, I was an eager investor. With high hopes and dreams, I diligently built my investment portfolio over the years. But as the tides of the market turned against me, my once-promising investments began to crumble. Stock prices plummeted, bonds defaulted, and my hopes faded away. With each passing day, my portfolio dwindled, mirroring the sinking feeling in my heart. I watched helplessly as my hard-earned savings vanished, leaving behind a lingering sadness and a stark reminder of the unpredictability of the financial world. I'm here again because I want to get back on track.I need ideas to get on on a recovery process.

    Losses can provide valuable lessons and insights into the intricacies of the financial market. They can highlight areas where improvements can be made in investment strategies, risk management, or research. By reflecting on the losses and learning from mistakes, one can enhance their knowledge and skills, which can contribute to future success. I don;t have much to give but my thoughts are with you.

    You can get back on track by following this simple process: Take stock of your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment timeline. Understand your investment losses and the factors that contributed to the decline. This self-assessment will help you communicate your needs effectively to a financial advisor. Remember to seek the help of a professional financial planner(CPF) as you start over, which is what you should've done from the get go.

    The dilemma of "higher interest rate leads to expensive borrowing leads to slow economic growth" and vice versa makes it difficult to manoeuvre economic parameters. Yet the stock market isn't showing any sign of slowdown caused by a recession outlook. Investing now instead of saving would make thousands of dollars in ROI if done right.

    I picked some solid ETFs, which I researched extensively. Started buying them fairly regularly and have continued to do so. I truly do dollar cost average and it’s worked out very well for me. I made all the classic mistakes through the years until it finally dawned on me to quit being so speculative. I used to try to get larger gains quickly and finally realized that’s a gambler’s mentality. I just keep buying now whether the market is up or down. I buy small amounts often.

    I started investing at 18 years old now 22. I have invested into individual stocks. I also have Roth retirement plan with work that have a lot into something that represents VOO. But also I wanted to open a Roth IRA to have VOO,VTI, and maybe a high yield dividend etf SCHD. My individual stocks are stocks I feel like are good just because they are business models the world needs and some people just can’t live without. I focus on about 15 different good stocks. I think if you are willing to learn you can pick some solid stocks, but also never hurts to have those nice ETFs in a Roth IRA.

I'm trying to bring up each month to $500.00 of dividends. I used to just have my account reinvest them for me, but I would like to even the amount each month pays out. Easier said than done. It takes a lot of money. I have four months paying me $600.00, four months are at $460.00, and four months are at $105.00. I'm working on Feb., May, August, and November. I would love to get to $1,000.00 per month but I don't believe I have that many more years left, lol.

    8:55 I believe this is true also. I do watch mine weekly or bi-weekly not to trade or pull money out, but rather it keeps adding to on my mind and watching the sine wave while hoping for that parabolic curve into retirement hopefully creates a positive trend. I have rolled some money into ROTH from a traditional IRA, but the last time I actually pulled money out was about 30 years ago when I had a car breakdown right before my wedding.

    4:18 [Matthew Monthly divided his annual $2,000 allotment into 12 equal portions, which he invested at the beginning of each month. This strategy is known as dollar-cost averaging. You may already be doing this through regular investments in your 401(k) plan or an Automatic Investment Plan (AIP), which allows you to deposit money into investments like mutual funds on a set timetable.]...... But what would happen if Matthew did his dollar-cost averaging, and then every time he saw a 5% or 8% downturn in the market, added another $50 or $100 from his discretionary budget? In this he's not looking for the bottom, just picking up a little extra from the lulls which always happen. I have seen several articles for the 5 main Schwab types, but never for this approach. Bare minimum it should land the investor between Peter and Ashley.

I think having 20-40 individual stocks in varying sectors (as part of a dividend portfolio for example), can make up a good portfolio. Sorry if that was not clear. My individual stocks are all part of a dividend portfolio besides some magnificent 7 plays - but a high concentration is in index funds

    He has mentioned in other videos that there are some individual stocks that are great for consistent, long-term investment (i.e. Johnson&Johnson, Home Depot, CocaCola, etc.) due to them being unlikely to go away any time soon and less likely to be affected by economic downturns - it isn't a bad idea to include those in your portfolios mixed in with Index Funds and ETFs. I think his overall message regarding individual stocks was not to stay away completely, but to not jump all-in on certain individual stocks hoping for a great rise! The ones you can see in his portfolio are slow, consistent risers if you look at their stock chart over a 10+ year period.

    Fyi, the lump sum being just a bit higher than dollar cost averaging is due to it is basically giving the same amount of investment 6 more months to grow. There will be years where that lump sum bought high, Yeats it bought low, but those basically averages out over 20 years. The result $ being 3k higher is roughly the return on the extra 6 months of total investment time frame.

    Totally a dumb newbie question here, but to hit the general 15% investing rule, does the employer match count towards the total? For example - if I’m contributing 6% for the employer match, would I then allocate 9% within another account to hit the threshold? Or regardless of the match should I be planning for a full 15% of out of the regular normal take home pay… thanks!

  • @glasshalffull2930

    @glasshalffull2930

    The 15% includes your employer match. However, the ‘eventual’ goal is to max the total contribution which is $23K for 2024. Not possible for many, but do the best you can. What I did was up my percentage a percent or two every time I got a raise until I maxed out. I also went 100% in a S&P500 index which over a career has an average return of 10% per year. Now at 64 I’ve got $3.3 million in my account after 33 years of investing. No trying to time the market!!!!!!!!! When it’s on a down trend, your contributions are buying stocks at a discount. Best of luck!!!

    What about investing in blue chip stocks with good dividends at a low cost basis or investing in trending stocks like AI or semiconductor or even crypto? I meant Bitcoin or larger AI stocks like Google, Amazon, Microsoft or Nvdia who are projected to grow exponentially largely due to leverages and market shares they have.

    I bought a cannabis stock (TLRY) just because I think the market is going to get bigger and the company is branching out into beer making. It jumped 50% almost immediately. I think it is because Germany just legalized recreational pot. But TLRY jumps up and down a lot, so I'm not getting too excited about it.
