3 ETFs I Would Buy As A Beginner

Join my next livestream here and ask me your questions: bit.ly/3zUS9hI
My 3 favorite ETFs if I were to start over with investing as a complete beginner:
1. SPY - Tracks the S&P 500, top 500 US companies
2. QQQ - Tracks the NASDAQ 100, top 100 US technology companies
3. SCHD - High quality dividend-paying companies
Again, these are what I'm investing in and what I'm comfortable with. You can see what fits your own risk tolerance.
I know I'm a "boring" investor and don't have these specific stocks that will 100x your portfolio in a week. I'm a firm believer of growing wealth responsibly and developing good wealth habits for the long term.
I also like ETFs because they allow me to diversify my portfolio.
Let me know what other topics you want me to talk about!
I hope this video makes investing less scary.
Thanks for all the support! :)

    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

    This is a perplexing economy. Some people claim that this is the strongest economy ever, and I am aware of what it took to bring our economy back from the abyss of a pandemic to its current position as the strongest in the world. However, not everyone shares this opinion, and I want to focus on the finances today rather than the politics and emotions that surrounded the issue.

If you haven't already, glance out *Leah* *Foster* *Alderman* to view the Pro Investor membership. It's there that she discusses the membership. The goal of the entire procedure is to provide you with one stock from every sector in complete detail so you may do your own study of businesses from other industries.

    If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 60% early this year. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.
