Shoot for the 30% returns not the 500% returns. Individual stocks are rewarding when you find undervalued positions. UNH under 280, Google under 170. Idk who thinks HOOD at 30 was a safe bet. Sure it hit but established companies are far more consistent.
I bought ONE SHARE of UNH at $242 because I wanted to dump a lot into it, but wanted to stick with my core belief to stick with index funds… oh well
@@GrahamStephan gotta stick to you core beliefs! Love your content, just like real estate, a bad deal can look like lipstick on a pig in the stock world. Nimble is key.
Most don’t get 500% some lose money too.
google is actually a very interesting company
for the longest time, they were clearly the world leader in natural language processing and AI. they had the largest index of the world with search, and had all sorts of cool innovation and research with language and vision ai. they published the paper on transformers and invented the first modern day llm back in 2015; they also pioneered a lot of vision algorithms used in autonomous driving
then for some reason, they totally lost their marbles in 2018-2023; completely lost all their lead and got destroyed by competition. their llms were subpar and were the laughing stock of the industry
then somehow, in 2024 everything changed again. they went full rambo mode, fired a bunch of people, started holding their engineers hostage and became a toxic place to work at. but ironically, their llms are now suddenly at the top of the world again, with insane context windows, all for a fraction of the price competitors charge. people don’t actually know how google makes money with ai cause it’s so dirt cheap. even if it was a price war, the costs they’re incurring must be astronomical at current pricing structures
and their stonk is also one of the least moved stocks in tech this past year
it’s wild
Look up the S&P (or any other index) priced in BTC. It isn’t that these indexes are growing it is that the money supply (M2) is growing and being funneled into these assets. So yes the returns are 7% a year but there is 7% more money in the market; the actual purchasing power of those indexes if sold hasn’t gone up.
Yes but then the compounding of the interest is why it beats the inflation
Returns are 7 percent after taking into account inflation.
If graham held longer he would’ve done well
That’s the irony..
Thanks for coming on my channel! Just posted the full episode on my page.
That’s crazy!!! Patience is a virtue when it comes to making money.
Agreed!!
@GrahamStephan hence the irony of what you’re saying? If you were still holding now you’d be much better of…
Not even a 10% slice? I have 90% in etfs and then a few high conviction picks. I could be wrong but upside vs downside looks good with a small portion of your portfolio?
I have 10% Bitcoin ETF – that’s enough for me.
@@GrahamStephansweet! Mine is 2% 😅
Bad advice. Jsut buy the top 5 stocks in the S&P500 and you’ll out perform the S&P500 index.
Or better yet, just buy Bitcoin
The top 5 aren’t always the top 5…if you bought the top 5 in 2008, it’s completely different than today. You really wanna buy XOM, GE, MSFT, T, and PG as your only holdings?
@@GrahamStephanyeah that’s why you just keep rotating into whatever the top 5 is. Simple
Man he looks rough, hope you are feeling ok graham
He is overworked. He did so much execution, that he is too tired to work on improving things. If he made half the amount of videos and instead put the remaining time in things like improving his lighting, he’d look much better…
But apple, Google, meta on average do 25% to 30% per year, while the sp500 does 12%. Why not take extra risk if you can?
This guy doesn’t seem to understand most people don’t have YouTube money to invest
I worked at McDonalds for 12 years and managed my money, time, and relationships well and for minimum wage and had 350k when I was 30 and kept investing that until i had 1.1 million at 40. So don’t make excuses for being a failure, try harder. Work smarter and hustle harder.
Lol do you have a 401k match at your job?
Umm no. Netflix is about to split. Run up will be better than index funds. Nvda will own the world. Ai chips need it. Nothing is compatible to it. Tsls will see a massive uptick once fsd robotaxis omnibot is out. Maybe for that, but index funds bc its not going up right away. But Index funds are fine if you want a percentage. Leave it to your 401k. Grahmn probably doesnt have one bc he doesnt have a real job.
….a real job?
This is only useful if you’re already doing very good in life. If you can invest 100k usd a year or more I agree, go for index funds. If you can invest 5k a year, 10k a year, you need to be a bit more aggressive than that
That’s not how it works. You can’t just be “more aggresive” and get better returns. 80% of professionals and amateurs do not beat the S&P500 over a long time frame.
This is terrible advice. Like horrible. You can be more risky if you have more to invest bc it wont hurt your bottom line. If you only able to invest 5k a year and you lose that 5k. It will hurt you way worse than somone who can invest 100k a year losing 100k
If you’re younger, take the risk while you have less responsibility. If you win, great. If you lose, you’ll get all the “gambling” out of your system and won’t be inclined to make risky investment choices again.
I made 13 Million dollars off meme coins and at the end of the day I invested most of that money in index funds 😂
I disagree. I think 90-95 percent index funds. 5 perfect in moon shot stocks can make a big difference.
Just remember how you and most people act in the market is speculation not investing
no. you would have been better buying nvda. you can lie to yourself all you want, but the hard numbers don’t lie. nvda and btc my friend
This is heavily misleading! This is only for lazy people.If you don’t even want to spend time research the company you invested for yes go to index.
He’s on property, is like saying don’t invest on property (slap urself) always invest REIT 🤷🏻♂️
Or invest in whatever you feel confident and happy in, as long as it’s money you can afford to lose. I’d be bored to death investing in something I know nothing about, and much rather put it into something I have a connection to. Be that a stamp collection, magic cards, antiques or whatever else.
Dude.. he just went from 20 to 40 in no time.
Graham using offensive hooks, I like it
