What is the S&P 500 — Should you Invest in the S&P 500
You’ve probably heard about the S&P 500 stock market index. It’s what most people consider to be “the market” and it gives us good insight as to what the entire stock market is doing. What exactly does S&P 500 mean? This index is made up of a variety of companies of various sectors. For those of us that don’t know much about investing, it can be a great choice providing the diversification needed for a well rounded portfolio in just one product. However, depending on your circumstances, there are better choices. When should you choose the S&P 500 and when should you seek alternatives? Take a look at what companies make up this index and its pros and cons to decide if it’s the right choice for you.

I’m new to investing and I’m trying to find somewhere to start with least risk and long term is this the best to go with??
My mans pen is magic 🤯😅 thanks for the info. Gained a sub!!
USA companies
I’m trying to figure out how I can invest to replace the income of my minimum wage job so I can quit it
Mrs Mary is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy.
This was very informative on the S&P 500 Investment and Diversification.
Love this vid thanks but I’ve noticed so many types of S&P 500 index wtf, which one would you recommend? VOO, VTI?
*Rich people plays the money game to win.* *Poor people plays the money to not lose.* *The goal of the truly rich people is to have massive wealth and the poor sees a surplus as an opportunity for consumption instead of investing it.* *change your mindset and do what the rich does,* *which is investing,* *investing and investing.*
Hey so I’m new to all of this. I was thinking about investing at least $200 or so in the S&P 500 starting out small per month. If I do that for many years, would that even make a difference or would I be better off putting that money in a high yield savings account like Capital One or something?
Which platform do you recommend to purchase the S&P 500?
Index funds are so boring… BUT I’d rather get rich with “boring” investing that is proven than to receive some “excitement” when my individual stock drops 30% 👀😳
It’s a shame a-lot of traders still try to find comfort in this unstable market either in *STOCK or CRYPTO* of lately, but the truth is that most traders tend to gamble with their assets this days by not taking advantage and proper study of the market to know where is right for them to invest. Although bitcoin has been unstable for some time, it is still wise to go into *day trading* now so as to grow the little we hold ahead of the upcoming bull market. so far have been successful in trading since i started following Alexander Thomas daily signals and guidance* ….. Winning has been on my side and have been able to grow my portfolio 💼 strongly, In 8 weeks i was able to grow my *0.9btc portfolio to 6.5 btc* …. thanks to him Please kindly follow him on .ͲELEGRAM.👉@valid_trade1
You should add that although growth stock index funds have outperformed the market in the last decade, this has not always been the case. In the past century, value index funds have outperformed growth funds during most 5, 10 and 20 year time periods (Ben Felix and Paul Merriman have some good videos explaining this. You could also research Fama and French directly too since this is who they will often refer to). I’m not saying you should buy either growth or value. But you shouldn’t think that just because things have been a certain way in recent years that they will continue to be that way. People have short memories.
I’m a noob here. What’s the best way to invest in the S&P 500? Like how do I do it?

Love your channel. I’m first generation stock market investor and Roth IRA investor in my family and sometimes day trader usually take my profits from options trading and then I sink into my blue chip stocks and that’s how I also fund my Roth IRA from options trading

Very few funds beat indexing strategies in the long term and there’s little indication that the primary factor for beating indexing is skill rather than luck. If professional investors fail to predict the market, most average investors should do so with great caution. Indexing is a fantastic solution to this problem.
What percentage to invest?
nice video chris. i understood the concepts
Thank you🙏 very much sir i from India and very small investor I want to invest only rs 1,000 Or rs 2,000 every month in sip mode in S&P 500 for Long term I. e..

I’m invested in the SP500 ETF, GrOwth ETF, Value ETF, and Dividend ETF. I definitely value the diversification.
Great context.everyone needs more than there salary to be financially stable.the best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly.because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.i started investing in bitcoin mid November 2020 with the help of a well-known -professional Mr Bruce Anderson and the profit entirely funded my recent duplex.
Do you reccomend investing into VOO aswell? My goal is to put like 200/300$ per month for 6-10 years, do you think it’s a great idea?
Warren Buffet would disagree, he bet Hedge funds $1million that the S&P 500 would out perform any selected portfolios over the past 10 years. That was in 2008 and in 2018 he won that bet

If I invest in snp500 do I receive a dividen each month from the investment
TLDW: Yes
I’m completely new to this and I’m confused on when you get paid. Is it yearly or what?
I’ve Invested as much as possible per month in the s&p500 for 14 years now and 14 to go I guess it’s called DCA dollar cost averaging. The key is only check it once a year. It’s awesome to see your money double every 3to6 years. 730k and now it makes just as much as I do in a year at my job.
“The pen is blue! The goddamn pen is blue!”
Great Video! I have a question though: What is your opinion about the MSCI ACWI Index? Sure, american companies have the biggest market capitalisation but at the end you are "betting" only on the US. The MSCI ACWI covers also Europe, South America and some parts of Asia. My guess is that especially asian companies could outperform the american companies in the future. How would you take these factors into consideration when you are investing, especially if you mainly invest in the S&P500?
just one question: do you actually own shares from those 500 companies? a piece of a share o no shares at all but another type of contract?
