Interesting analysis from Jeremy J. Siegel in "The Future for Investors": "Those who bought the original 500 firms and never sold any of them outperformed not only the world's most famous benchmark stock index but also the performance of most money managers and actively managed equity funds," Siegel writes. The normal S&P 500 returned 10.3% a year from its 1957 founding through Dec. 2003. But if you stuck with the original 500 components, letting dying companies die and reinvesting proceeds from companies that were bought out into the surviving companies (there were 125 of them left by 2003), you earned 11.3% a year. That might not sound like a big difference, but it is. One dollar invested in the normal S&P 500 in 1957 grew to $93 by 2003. In the "survivor only" portfolio, it grew to $124.

Thanks Ramin, I’m a beginner investor, I started in December, and I’m changing my tack having learned from your and another couple of KZfaq channels Firstly, I’m sorting my pensions, moving from SJP and Fidelity to Invest Engine. Secondly, I’m selling many of my stocks and putting them into an ETF. anything (Barclays, BT) that has grown massively is getting sold, anything where my holding is small is going. I’m holding onto a few that I think will grow over the next couple of years (NG., VODA, STJ), but eventually they will be sold as well, and I’m keeping my moonshot (TMC) I’m self employed, and I’ve found I spend far too much time looking at T212 instead of earning the money to invest. Hopefully this helps and I can be more productive as a result

I buy individual stocks. I am not an expert. I only do it because I enjoy it. Some people look at racing trends and gamble on horses. I look at stock markets and trade but not gamble. Gambling (in my opinion) is the difference between crossing the road with your eyes closed and following the "green cross code". Chalk and cheese. I try to do due diligence when buying stocks. I always ask my self "am I gambling when I buy this stock or am I happy it's an investment?". As I said I'm not an expert and I've been investigating for 20 years and I treat it like a hobby and yes I've made mistakes (usually when I get excited about something) and I then stop and learn from that mistake. Put simply I think you can learn how to invest but it's not easy and it takes time to learn (mainly about yourself and your own error making habits and inability to learn from mistakes).

I recall Terry Smith saying something along the lines of preferring to own a large portion of fewer good companies, compared to owning a little bit of a lot of bad companies. Lately I see the T-class has underperformed the S&P, not sure if that's happened to him before. I know they have Microsoft, but is the underperformance strictly down to not having Nvidia?

@armuk 26 күн бұрын

Useful breakdown. A question - if one has a lump sum to invest (in ETFs), it better to put it all in one go, or to stagger the payments/investments (a la dollar cost averaging)?

@christerdehlin8866 Ай бұрын

Thanks! That seems like some very solid advice indeed. My strategy is to complement a global index fund with an emerging markets index fund and a couple of sector funds, because the MSCI World and S&P 500 are so skewed towards the American tech giants. My hope is that this will insulate me to some degree from a possible tech bubble burst.

OFF TOPIC - Just requesting that you produce a short video explaining what will happen with small retail holders of Royal Mail (IDS) shares if the recommended takeover goes through. As I understand it, there will be a shareholder vote but I'm very unclear about what happens after that (as an example, do you pay dealing costs if the shares are cancelled). Thanks in advance.

Need to ensure when showing returns they are adjusted after inflation. Distribution should be similar to what you showed but the drift isn't as significant as you may think.

@Pensioncraft Ай бұрын

Hi @simonunion4657 the returns don't always come from the top 10 stocks so that would miss out on the stocks that generate huge returns as they pass up the market cap ranking. But there is a global large cap index e.g. the S&P Global 100 index of large-caps www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-global-100/#overview Thanks, Ramin.

If you invested in the Vanguard global small cap index fund wouldn't that avoid the bid offer spread. It appears to have a Lower fund charge than ishares etf that tracks the same msci global small cap index. Personally I don't think it's worth it as you are just taking on volatility risk for most likely no extra returns

@rezwhap 12 күн бұрын

You avoid it to the extent that Vanguard's trading avoids it by intelligently placing passive orders that don't pay the spread. They also will match buys and sells internally which reduces trading and transaction costs.

@fredatlas4396 12 күн бұрын

@@rezwhap There is no trading costs for open ended index funds, oeics etc on most platforms, Vanguard, HL, Fidelity UK etc. And no bid offer spreads on most open ended funds, passive or active. The bid, offer spreads are on etfs which are traded just like individual shares. And you can buy etfs on Vanguard platform without incurring any dealing costs if you want, but still have the bid, offer spread

@8:55 You state that long-term investors earn the "drift" that's due to rising corporate profits. That's only half the story. Long-term earnings growth is only about 3% real, whereas long-term stock returns are in the region of 6-8%. The extra boost comes from dividends, which have averaged about 3-4% real. Or if you really want to be fancy, the total return is actually a risk premium that's compensation for the uncertainty of future cashflows. Two ways of looking at the same thing. But to state the long-run returns are driven by rising profits (and nothing else) is not telling the whole story, and I think it leads people to some incorrect conclusions ("oh gee, I should just invest in the companies with the highest growth !")

@PhillipHomer 29 күн бұрын

Isn't stock value theoretically just the present value of all expected future dividends? Because they're the only way you as a stock holder actually extracts any profit from the company?

@chrisf1600 29 күн бұрын

@@PhillipHomer That's right, but the key question is : what discount rate do you use when discounting those future cashflows ? The discount rate is what determines your future return, and it's set entirely by market forces. Eg imagine a company that pays a steady dividend of $10 (no earnings growth) for the next 20 years. How much is it worth ? If you assume a 5% discount rate, the answer is $124. Anyone buying at this price would earn a 5% return, even though the earnings of the company never increase. If you're able to buy at $85, you'd earn a 10% return. If you buy at $49, that's a 20% annual return ! Who decides the "right" price ? It's supply and demand : the market decides the discount rate, based on the perceived riskiness of the company - and this discount rate becomes your expected return.

500 top companies in US is definitely better than the top 1000 as you get rid of the 500 lagging ones. I guess top 200 or S&P 200 would be even better than 500 but polishing that diamond list is also increasing the risk of lower diversification. It would be interesting to see at what number of companies an intersecting point in a graph would be, where two lines (one for returns and one for diversification) crossing each other. And what would be the most effective lowest number of companies in a US S&P index for the best performance? Whether it's S&P50, S&P150 or S&P200?
