I love ETFs. Find about 3 that are really good that you like. Buy them and keep buying them over and over and over, adding more and more shares as the years go by. Reinvest your dividends and stay the course. Practice that discipline and you will likely be very glad you did one day. The younger you are when you start, the better.
@Robby767
It really depends on your goals. ETFs are more flexible for trading throughout the day, while index funds are more hands-off and better for long-term investors who want simplicity. Personally, I think index funds are perfect for retirement because they’re low-maintenance and have consistently performed well over time.
@clos3530
I think you meant to say mutual funds not index fund. Index funds can be both mutual funds and etfs. Index fund just means it’s a fund that follows a particular index such as s&p or russel 2000 etc.
@vlsnathan
Thank You Brian for the information. But one critical point need to add is that majority of retirement accounts (like 401k, 403, 457) won’t allow customer to buy ETF and they have been forced to choose only index funds.
@DesireeJames-q1z
There is clearly a compounding impact in the long run for significant capital, but it is not "automatic," and with the incorrect tactics, you might lose more than you have, and finding the right stock without a proven strategy can be extremely difficult. I've been working on growing my $210K portfolio for a while, and the main impediment is a lack of defined entry and exit plans.

I’ve been investing in ETF’s for a few years now. I have the majority in VTI which is a total index fund but I also have a small cap, mid cap, emerging market and real estate ETF for diversity. At the moment they are down a little after the events of the last couple of years but I’m confident they’ll come up again soon. Everything I’ve researched also says ETF is better than index funds
@Image8O4
I put index funds and ETFs in Roth IRA and ETFs and Stocks in regular brokerage
@joeblow6591
Thanks!
@ContrarianExpatriate
I prefer ETFs because you can make limit orders and stop orders unlike with normal index funds.
@MichaelTrap-m1h
Your explanation is realistic and straight to the point. l watch several video's on how to trade in the market but haven't made any headstart because they are either taIking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it. And l don't want to make mistakes by taking risks on my own
@ddillonhr
Thank you for the video I was unaware of the tax implications of a Index Fund vs ETF and learned something new today. If you had an Index fund in a roth, the tax implications would be irrelevant right?
@LiquidityOcelot
Great video! I invested 40-60% of my income, over the last years, in equity index funds, ETFs and individual stocks, which allowed me to retire in my 30s!
@bdriscollmd
One other consideration is that (at least at Vanguard) you can set up automatic investments for index funds but not ETF's
@thewolvesdenarcade
I've been buying a few shares of SPHD for years now. It's a monthly dividend ETF. It's nice watching your money work for you lol.
@mrlion2022
Love ETF and Index funds I learned about index funds and ETF from a wise man back in the 1990s it's something not taught in public school. I wish it was. You literally can become a millionaire in ETF and index funds. Can you make a video of how it's done
@TxTn55
Thank you so much Brian. I just learned so much! You make it very easy to understand.
@FiatIsDead
Hands down the clearest explanation I've found. Thanks for the video!
@MaryCharlotte-c8v
Hi, I want to start investing but don’t know where to begin. Any tips or contacts?
@ericwilde4583
The 85% of funds managers underperforming the index provided is for any single year. More impressively and importantly is to look at that figure over 5, 10, and 20 years, where it increases to 90, 97, and 99%. That makes for a more than compelling case for index investing, and how very rare the likes of Peter Lynch truly are.
