Warren Buffett: Why Most People Should Invest In S&P 500 Index

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.

My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling since last year. I have approximately $600k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth. How do i mitigate this volatile market?

Isn't the USA in decline though, the dollar is not the world reserve currency anymore is it?

The philanthropy scares me.

"Our favorite holding period is forever," - Warren Buffett

Smaller, speculative stocks have endured a historically weak stretch. Investors are betting that a turnaround is finally in the works. I’ve lost about $320k within a few months, how do i take advantage of the market turnaround?

Set it and forget it.

Over the last-week, invest0rs have become more focused on rising real yields, or those adjusted for inflation. I'm none-theless considering weatherr to put $400k in my stock portfolio. What is the great-est approach to profit from the market?

Just started last month with investing (at 33)... Luckily i don't (really) have to worry about my pension. Thats well taken care of in my country. So investing is just to get a little extra. Chose an S&P 500 ETF to start off with. Gonna buy every month extra shares, minimizing the risk of buying to high. Not gonna try to time the market. In the long term it will hopefully be worth. And with little stress

As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $70k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain whether to liquidate my $150,000 stock portfolio. I'm seeking advice on the best strategy to capitalize on this current market.

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 of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

Great video! I have had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent way to invest and trade, so I hired an expert financial advisor for assistance, her name is Robin Brezik and following her advice, I put in $150k value into investments and digital assets, now I have close to $ 1million so far and my retirement funds is increasing with good returns. Pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly

I will forever be in-depted to you Elise Mabel you've changed my life, I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear, you've saved me from a huge financial dept without minding my bad credit score with just a little investment🇺🇲🇺🇲

Retirement timing and choice determines a lot in one's life. Investing before retirement comes, is another. My parents spent same number of years working full time jobs, but my mom was investing through a financial manager while my dad by himself. My mom retired with over $6.5 million, whereas my dad retired with little above to $500k. It is your choice on how you invest. As for me I invest with my financial manager Robin Brezik , and I have never regretted it, as my portfolio keeps increasing.

I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything. I've heard of investors making over $400k profit in this current sinking market, and I'm looking for ideas on how to earn similar profits.

I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.

Yes you can lol. I’m 18 I have $20,000 in eToro copy trading for 30%-80% a year with a stop loss set at 95% of the position. I have small amounts in Bybit you can double your money in a month. This man is a genius but you have to remember we are UNBELIEVABLY advantages nowadays, he is over 90.

S&P is not going to make you rich, it helps you maintain you wealth better after you have already became rich. IF you want to become rich you have to take risks investing or it just doesnt work like that, in fact the first 6 figures you will make wont even come from investing it will come from saving.

I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to invest $400k on my stock portfolio. what’s the best way to take advantage of the market?

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Very inspiring! I love this.

Nobody can become financially successful over night. They put in background work but we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component, hindering us from taking bold steps we need in other to reach our goals...

I totally agree. I have to admit that I am not that great at stock-picking. However, I am a whole lot better at daytrading and scalping Forex and stock indices. So I would rather focus my energy on getting even better at daytrading and scalping on the low timeframes - and they just buy a broad stock index ETF and just let that give me an average return

When taxes and fees are factored in there is no better choice than a market index for any extended period (say 10 years or more). The best analogy I can give you is the following: I am telling you BEFORE a 15 horse race starts which horse is guaranteed to finish 2nd. If one is foolish enough to say "I will ignore that advice as I think I can pick the winner" than so be it. You can make a hell of a lot of money knowing which horse finishes 2nd.

I have been bench marking trading vs holding all stocks in sp500. Just holding sp500 just works!

Timing the market and being active saves you against losing. I have collected data from both 2007 recession and the bull session in 2010s.

You can have less loss in terms of trades and profits
But by holding the sp500 you will have more losing trades but more profit.

It sounds weird but the math added up and I end up losing close to half or more profits if I didn't held an index.

Not making up to a million before retirement is unfulfilled retirement.!! I’m 54 and my wife 50 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock market made it possible for us this early, even till now we earn weekly.!!

Just the same way I saw testimony in Fox news" a man make -$50,000 weekly Profit I tried now am also sharing my testimony with over,$10,000 from cryptocurrency.

Roughly £120k in my portfolio are in tech/TSLA stocks, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.

What is the possibility of making decent returns for short term investing? I've been reading success stories of people that make a total return of upto $75,000 monthly profit from their investments and I'd really love to know how to go about investing to make huge 5figure returns monthly

It’s fine it’s just super slow, you’d have to invest hundreds of thousands of your own money and then wait 30 years on top of it and by that time you’d practically be dead

Ticker for UK residents?

Im from Europe, Lithuania and i can't seem to find an online broker similar to vanguard or just one that works in general. Does anyone have any advice?

Most will not take this advice due to impatience. Not sexy enough

About 25 years ago I put in equal amount of money into an S&P 500 Index Fund and the Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund. The Blue Chip Growth Fund is winning by a country mile. Just an FYI.

The Nasdaq 100 can.

The S&P 500, if one sticks with it, outpaces inflation by many percentage points. I personally don't care about the inflation. I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate. That is why I'm looking for companies now to put in $80k for a start. Just don't know how to proceed

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 $1M after subsequent investments so far

What are the odds of millions of invested US $$$ turning into inflated toilet paper by 2050 and beyond?

I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.

people loose thier minds too,wouldnt do that.

If you invest $200,545 into the S&P, then assuming a 10% annual rate of return, your child at an early retirement age will be 2 Million plus rich, excluding every other income channeled to this. We need to invest much more. Focus on the company not just the stock price, true words from my F.A James Fletcher Brennan..I made over half a million from ALB and NVDA..I love passive income.

2008 really Bothered me because I watched my older friends and coworkers panicking. I met people that lost their jobs and were living out of their cars. I refused to put my money in the stock market and just saved. 15 years later I wish I would’ve put it in the market because I’ve only saved 300k. It could’ve made a lot more. Just recently invested all of it but an emergency fund. Wish me luck.

Warren Buffett is an amazing man, great morals, and values and blows Bill Gates right out of the game
