Mutual funds and financial advisors easily siphon off half of your nestegg in fees and taxes over 10 years. Wall Street and the media have a vested interest in keeping these facts from you. But wealthy families and elite institutions invest don't pay the fees you do. They use a simple strategy called asset allocation with index funds and ETFs. On www.marketriders.com, use free software tools and invest like they do. Its simple to learn how to invest without brokers and advisors with less risk and better returns in just a few hours a year. Anyone can do it.

  • I have a question. Let's say I want to buy index funds, like Dow Jones, S&P 500. Where do I buy it online?

  • and you have close eyes and look like a jew

  • dude you have no personality, stop making videos ha

  • Right now I am studying asset allocation (thru books & internet) & re-evaluating how I've invested the $ in my own retirement accounts. At 45 yrs old I'm leaning toward the following allocation: 30 - 40% bonds (a mixture of US gov't, corporate & inter'l bonds) & 70 - 60% stocks (US, real estate, inter'l, & maybe a sector fund). I'll be using index funds for everything.

  • Index funds just for commodities or other sections of the economy are called sector funds. The brokerage that holds your 401k may not have sector funds, but if you open a Roth IRA, choose a brokerage that has a variety of index funds (domestic, sector & international); bond funds (gov't, corporate & international); & reasonable fees for holding your account & for each buy/sell order you submit. This will help you put into effect the asset allocation that you feel is right for you.

  • Thanks for the good advice, I had a question for you and anyone else who might want to weigh in on this: What do you feel is the correct amount of commodities someone should have in their portfolio or 401K? Any particular ones that perform better than others? Are there any Index funds for just commodoties?

  • Index funds are mutual funds. And ETFs impose a transaction fee each time you make a trade. So you should be advising people to buy index mutual funds.

  • Sir,

    Your videos are an excellent resource for a new MBA student like me and also food for thought.Thanks a ton.

    Any interest in creating a more streamlined set of teaching videos.

    Sincerely,

    CS
