I did lots of backtesting and found that 20% SCHD/DGRO, 20% VGT/QQQ/SCHG 20% VOO and 40% bonds or 4%+ money market matches the growth of SP500 in up years but reduces the losses in down years by 40-60%. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, I had only $78k to my name at 42 when I first woke up to this reality. I chose the stock market as a medium of growth, got an excellent financial advisor, Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

Many people are unaware that seeking professional guidance from a financial advisor or portfolio manager is a viable strategy.

Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!

It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

After investing from my salary of 350k for 4 years, I've only made about 8% total, or 2% per year, which my friends say is very low. My employer 401k of $220K returns about 4%. What would you advice to do with my portfolio for improved returns?

My primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I know the risks of short term gains are much greater but if well managed one'd make a killing, am I wrong?

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

People say it's never too late to start investing, but after my recent horrendous divorce at 59, it can be difficult to not have anxiety about the economy and retirement. Is there any idea how an old timer like me could see 7-figures before 65? I've set asides $200k to fire up my goal.

I’m already dollar cost averaging but I’ve been holding onto a lot of cash as well. I recently put most of it into stocks because it was just sitting there. Most of it went to dividend stocks so I’m not too worried. The goal is to invest for dividend and the stocks were at a recent low so I’m not worried long term. Sooner I start the more dividends I’ll have to reinvest.

Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably amid economy downtrend. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, will you pay off mortgage as a near-retiree, or spread money for cashflow, to afford lifestyle after retirement?

The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

The stock market rally started Thursday strong but reversed solidly lower, undercutting the lows of the prior few days. It's a reason to be cautious in the very short term. But the pullback could be setting the stage for another solid advance. Tesla (TSLA) continued to climb Thursday, even though the EV giant pared intraday gains. TSLA stock has now more than doubled from its Jan. 6 bear-market low,I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $238k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?

From my perspective, this highlights the importance of having a competitive advantage as investors. Merely mirroring the market strategies of others is insufficient in achieving optimal results. I am currently grappling with the decision to invest in the current market, as it presents both uncertainty and opportunity. Could you share your insights on this matter?

As an lnvestment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

Additional earnings reports from major tech companies, driven by Nvidia, coupled with trader FOMO, could fuel a resurgence in market buying pressure. I'm considering investing over $300k, but I'm uncertain about risk mitigation strategies.

Opinions on the market diverge; some claim overvaluation due to rapid gains, while others cite strong economic fundamentals justifying high valuations. The notable surge in tech stocks, raises concern for my $600K portfolio given the index's increased tech concentration. What stocks, in terms of growth over the next ten years, could be the next APPL is my query.

We experienced the peak of our era, and now it is gone. Recession is tanking everything including 401K. My retirement equities portfolio of $750K is in the reds. I keep losing because of inflation. This world will fall to the corrupt rulers in the same way that Rome did. I'm sorry if you're thinking about retiring and you're worried that your pension won't be enough to meet the rising cost of living. Horrible foreign policies everywhere, bad regulatory policy, bad fiscal policy, and bad energy policy.

I've been doing all of these things religiously, but my portfolio is still in great decline. I have lost over $200K in the stock market, and now I'm desperately trying to improve my portfolio. How do I turn tide around?

Taking early notes from Warren as to the importance of sound asset diversification and risk management It can’t be overstated. I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $300K for sometime now, I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions.

Scholars who study the stock market’s historical performance estimate that over time, the payment (and reinvestment, and compounding) of dividends have contributed anywhere from 30% to 90% of the S&P 500’s total returns. I want to spread across $400k into profit yielding dividend equities but unsure of which to get into.

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

I was part of the recent layoffs at Tesla and this bites hard. I am grateful that I kept some savings about; $600k and I am looking for ways to invest this into the stock market to generate good dividends to supplement for my monthly expenses.

I'm struggling in this market. Stocks that I have held for months and made profits from are not behaving the way I'm used to so I’m quite indecisive on how to tackle this market, any advice would be grateful.

Every week I buy more of whatever is the lowest percentage of my portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Please what could be my safest buys with $400k to outperform the market in 2024?

Giving all praise to this team for bringing my life back up when I thought everything was gone, you'll forever be remembered

It's amazing to see AMC doing well after all the doomsday analyses from naysayers. The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient - warren buffet. It's good to remind people of this right now; you buy on fear and sell on greed or just hold through it all for the long term. It’s easy but lots of people forget.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Market is down still, I've been looking up strategies and apparently both bull and bear market condition provides equal avenue to accrue massive gains, and a news article particularly mentioned a 54 year old that made $180k in 5weeks, how do I learn these strategies, my portfolio has been stagnant for months.

Great video! Well I'm so happy I made the best decisions by having a good investment. Recently, I'm able to acquire my third house even at my age and I believe if things keep going well I would retire early

I'm considering a review of my $60K portfolio allocations, particularly in light of the pause in interest rate hikes. I'm eyeing some high-risk, high-reward opportunities. Crypto and emerging markets seem intriguing. Anyone else exploring these?

The answer is be a literal math genius with a team of MIT educated mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists, easy!

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.

I fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs Katherine Flores.

I think I get it: 1) be smart 2) be MIT smart 3) hire smart math people 4) hire even smarter people 5) be a bit lucky in the beginning 6) borrow lots of money 7) incentivise smart people by sharing profits, making them feel like co-owners of the firm 8) repeat number 7.

Your presentation significantly understates the achievements of Simons and Rentec. The returns obtained were delivered with a small fraction of the risk (as measured by return volatility) incurred by the other icons to which he was compared with in this video.

In light of the impending recession and the fact that inflation remains above the federal reserve 2% target, several leading market analysts have expressed their views on how dire they believe the economy will be, next recession and how far stocks may go. I need advice on what investment to make because i want to build a portfolio for my children that will be worth at least 80,000 dollars

Hey, have you guys seen the market lately? My stock portfolio has taken quite a hit, My tech stocks have been plummeting. And also my energy sector investments have also been suffering. I have lost almost $120K in my stock portfolio. it's been a rough ride.

As recession fears mount on Wall Street and inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, some of the top commentators in markets, business, and economics have been sounding off on just how bad they think the next downturn might be — and how far stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.

66% return per year for 31 yrs, that is phenomenal, Jim only need invest his first $5000 for 31 yrs to make his net worth of 31 billion. The rest of money each year he earned he probably donated or spent them all.

I recommended a professional broker to you guys sometime ago can I get a person who invested with her?

Jim Simons is underrated👍🏼🤝➕📈👏🏻

I am an Engineer pivoting into trading. I enjoyed every bit of this video. Thank you

Don't forget, he is generally levered between 5:1 and 10:1..

I’ve been making a lot of losses trying to make profit trading crypto. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

*Amazing content, You remain the best!! It's been a year since I found ways to improve my finances and by working with a renowned professional, I was able to attain financial independence. I have to say this ; “As long as you are determined and work hard, you can achieve whatever you place your mind on.”*

So let’s get this straight. To make these sort of returns I have somehow to get to be one of the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. I hadn’t realised it was that simple. Thanks for the advice. I’ll work on it !

That sounds more like trading than investing. Good to see this and realize I will NOT become the next Jim Simons lol

Bottom-line conviction and leverage are the common thread in all successful investors

Not sure anything list was unique to Jim Simons. All the strategies here have been used by most hedge fund managers since the 80s or 90s. He just has an amazing record. Side note, when people talk about the great fund managers, I wonder why people don't include Ed Thorpe.

he trades trading ranges and trends wow so simple

Sad to know he is no more now. RIP Simon !

You missed Rakesh Jhunjhunwala - who turned $100 into a Billion. On top of it, he managed his own money. Unlike others in your list.

I'm glad I got into crypto when I did because it’s been a turning point for me financially, been my best decision so far.

Actually ,with a $100 initial investment and a 66% return rate over 31 years, your investment would grow to approximately $1,117,624,248.48.

He said “665 million, 810 thousand dollars” (which is correct) and then wrote 665,000,810.

I don’t think it can be replicated that easily

Your title should read, “7 things for you to listen to while I make money on my KZfaq channel”.

Let's say you know the bear is going to continue and you can time the lowest before a breakout...how does one make a profit in a market that going down? Wait till it reaches the bottom?

Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

I wish I was clever enough to be hired by Jim Simons - you can find one strategy that works though and trade it over and over again - that’s all the common man needs to get rich in trading

A lot of people overlook the importance of a financial mentor

Step 1 be a politician Step 2 insider trade legally

So, actually based on the capital he used for trading he made far less, but with a leverage of 17 and moderate interest rates on the borrowed money, he made huge wins on his equity capital.

Lol - 0:00 I’ll save you time you can’t he’s a math genius.

My opinion for young people is you need to be both a dividend investor and a growth investor, basically how i made my first million also i use an FA, Olivia Rene Reyes. I started by investing $70k with her and she tripled it in 2 months and since then we've been doing business but i digress, so for example if I just got a 1000% gain on Tesla and then pulled 85% of the money out and went into a load of more stable dividend stocks like CVX So I would say diversify, but also use those growth opportunities to build the capital to invest in the dividend payers (or in cash flowing real estate)

Great vlog. Hopefully, Jim Simmons would one day recognise/acknowledge Satoshi Nakamoto (& maybe Vitalik Buterin) as an even greater investor/builder of wealth than himself.

Heres a tip, the one year trend starts in janaury

66% ist before fees, after fees he made "only" 39%. I suppose the other investors' performances are after fees=

Jim must be very excited with the new Ai coming out. He can fire all his expensive nerds because there is no longer any need for them.

jim is a trader

The number one reason people retire with money isn’t what percent you made on your money . Is actually doing the work and save . Just save

I was an unexperienced stock and forex trader i lost over $30K 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 find one source to recover my money, at least $5k profits weekly. Thanks so much Mrs. Maria Reyes

Quantify absolute and relative value of every tradable security imaginable…stocks, bonds, derivatives, currencies, etc. Buy a clearing firm and exchange memberships to get transactions costs down to almost zero, have direct fiber optic networks…make markets around every security that you can quantify. Quantify directionality or non-directionality, quantify correlations and co-integrations, use various other mathematical techniques to rank these trades according to expected profitability, determine position size and build a portfolio of trades.

1- Invent something required for the USA missiles in the Cold War no other can; 2- Invest well; 3- Avoid taxes (repurchase)

NOTE: To my knowledge, Jim Simmons is a mathematician.

My p0rtfolio is plummeting significantly, I’ve lost about $320k within a few months and I'm not confident about picking st0cks anymore. Are there really no other options for me to gain from the stock market?

I mean, there are a lot of great mathematicians, those who are even better than this Simons, so I'm just absolutely shocked that no one has replicated what he has done yet.

Simons did this with the computing power of the 1990's onwards. If wouldn't have been able to do this in the 1960's the computers back then wouldn't have been able to access the huge historical database he uses to identify patterns. What the other investors did, they largely did without computers. Ed Thorp, also a mathematician did quite well without extensive databases.

You make an excellent case! . I’ll add 1 more point… Seeing my monthly dividend income grow is EXTREMELY motivating to continue investing . Buying growth makes sense intellectually, but during a bear market, watching my growth portfolio shrink…the motivation isn’t as high as it is for dividend investing. A lot of this is psychological!

Thank you 😊 for this video, do you offer account management or have any recommendations?

I’m sure the Titans can make big returns taking advantage of retail traders. However as they get bigger there activities actually create the price. A capital ceiling for the original tactic.

Ren Tech rly is legend… wish I was smart enough to work there 😂

So...why isn't he the richest guy in the world

Rate cuts commence in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.

66% through 31 years starting with 30.000 dollar is 2 trillions return, are this dates right!??

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on a television program about the importance of investing and how he made $260,000 in 4 months from $80k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

Looking forward to participating in another moon blast for the market, as its been rumored that there's going to be another real soon. But while at it I've wandered aimlessly on the shores of instagram hoping and looking for the intervention of an exprt

There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. I want to know; How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings/net-worth to about $3M over time?

May I ask which betting system combined with different strategy and trend are the best in the long run ( Martingale System Fibonacci System d'Alembert System Cancellation System Paroli System Oscar's System) please?

66% annually seems exaggerated (clickbait?), but 30% per year on average is easily achievabile through value investing. Everest Formula strategy for instance, that doesn't require particular competence nor efforts, achieved 33% annualy from 1999 till now.

Can you get 67%?

Soooo...the biggest reason for the success was finding "safe" bets, and leveraging the shit out of them? I see some risk to that strategy, although it can be moderated if the bet is safer than safe.

I value your perspective and content!!depending on this current administration is a total failure I really have a question For someone with less than $15,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am at studying some traders and copying Mr Sam's strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally what's your take on this approach?
