I personally do a 90/10 approach. 90% into index funds and 10% into hand picked stocks which I believe will outperform the market. Been doing this since 2018, and so far I have beaten the market.

@ReadTheShrill Жыл бұрын

Good strategy. I also re-allocate my core index funds periodically. The Vanguard "sector" funds have been really good to me. I just think about which sectors of the economy will do well in the next six months or so, and move accordingly. A couple months ago I dumped anything to do with financials, and loaded up on energy, and right now I'm moving more into the "staples" sector in prep for a possible recession.

@TheSoulCrisis Жыл бұрын

I might go for the "famous" 80/20 principle hehe. I might do 80% index funds and 20% traditional stocks, I am definitely heavy handed with index fund investing (my 401K is currently mostly mid to large cap index funds and small to medium cap index funds, with some company stock mixed in).

I haven't finished the video yet about a quarter in. I do can say though on the index you're right that you're matching the market, but the whole point of that is that you're still outperforming inflation of the dollar so index are predominantly for people that want to be less active on the market but still have a retirement set up for their future because the market does typically go up as well as outperforming inflation

I found that DCA into long term etfs/index funds is best then take a little money and invest in companies you like. I have made 30% on my personal stock picks which I buy and sell but I do not touch my long term account and let it reinvest and grow. Its like my separate 401K.

@nakfoor1846 Жыл бұрын

The odds of doing well over the long term with stock picking is astronomically against your favor. You might get lucky on one stock but that will be brought down by the picks that didn't do well. As a personal example, I sold my AMD and Sunrun near the top, but got trashed on Palantir. I'm done with stock picking. It's better to just get into index funds as early as possible and let it compound.
