I wouldnt invest anything USA anyway at the moment. But this is the second female finance creator saying this in a short span. Too little diversified is to be avoided.
I will stil relly heavily on the S&P500, to be clear, this index isn't just an American one, it is a Global one! Over 40% of their income comes outside the US, these companies have entire sectors dedicated to Europe, Asia, Oceania, Latin America and Africa, full factories, thousands of employees and lots of stores. These companies make revenue in a lot of diferent curencies, they aren't just exposed to the dollar and the American market, they are exposed to multiple markets and curencies. Not to mention specific sectors alone make more revenue and growth than full on companies in their own continent. It is already priced-in diversification without overkilling, not to mention the index automatically takes the companies up and down based on their market cap, they sacrifice the losers and make new place for the winners.
Can you please share your views on Dividend investment for retirement account as Index funds and other stocks/ETF would grow however to generate i come we would have to sell them eventually but with Dividend stocks/ETF we would not have to sell and generate real money technically infinite money.
When you put money in this do you get money that increases in your account like after a year do you get 3% or 5% of what your account is worth and the next year is added on top of what you have in the account plus that percentage or does it only increase by what you put in and not anything else.
Every time I watch this video, I remember where I started. Two years ago, I had nothing saved, debts everywhere, and a basement apartment to sleep in. Now I’ve hit $1M this year and surpassed my 2026 financial goals. The biggest lesson? Stop looking for shortcuts. One strong strategy, proper risk management, and consistency can completely change your life.
Incredible video, some years ago I started investing in my retirement, I started with $150k then later increased it to $250k, now it has grown to almost a million. Sometime retirement crisis can come up and discourage some people, but I will always advise that you put your retirement plans in good hands, that way you will not suffer at old ago. I can bet you, lack of funds is not something anybody wants to experience.
This is a really great point. So many people are taught just throw your money into an index fund because it’s diversified. But no one mentions almost 1/2 of your investment is going to 7 out of 500 of those companies.

But I like almond joys
Very good information! Thank you for sharing
Tech is where the money is and when it goes down, everything goes down.
solid intel for those of us who didn’t major in B or go to B school. Thank you Vivian!
just buy S&P 500 equal weight ETF
What etfs are you recommending to do that?
That’s what I was wondering about the other day. How is it different than buying a tech ETF

This is the reason why it is so good
It’s no longer diversified-the majority of its weighting are companies in the same sector (technology)
If you're really worried about that just buy s&p 500 equal weighted

Can you please tell us should we invest in anthropic and OpenAI IPO or should wait same way like SpaceX

Never put all your eggs in one basket and nothing lasts forever simple as that 💯 👌 😊.

Yes it is. You know it.
We all know it.
This generation lacks patience and can’t sit tf still.
Long term, nothing beats the sp500.
Period.

You can also buy a S&P 500 fund that is not weighted like RSP.
Unlike SPY, RSP is an equal-weight index ETF
Or just buy the S&p500 equal weight
Or just learn how to read earnings reports so yu can picc your own stoccs

I do 30 % international, dividends 10%, USA 70%
7700 in August 2026. If you listened to this advice you would have lost out big time.
