1. *Other “Best Of” Videos I’ve Done Recently!* https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKkDvxOyGhXMsOAnUxqN0CNnoJPnYYI_Z

   1. Is SPYG the retire early if investing aggressively stock? I habe been studying up on IVV but now just hearing about SPYG. Whats your thoughts for trying to retire…?

2. Congrats on reaching a new milestone and thank you for providing your content and as always thumbs up. VOO all the way.

   1. I appreciate the kind words. Thank you so much! Enjoy your day!

3. I never thought comparing sp500 etf’s would be so interesting.

   1. I agree! The research was interesting!

   2. Fr!

4. Great!
   You implemented my advice to add some colours to underline the best scores.
   Now you can increase the zoom in your sheet, so that all the columns just fit in your screen 🙂

   1. Yes I did. One fix at a time! haha. Thanks for the feedback

5. Congrats on the milestone, Brad. Love the enthusiasm!

   1. I appreciate the kind words Janinnne! Thank you so much for watching!

6. I currently have SPYG! I like it so far even with my limited knowledge☺️. Thank you for this vid! My ETF watchlist is growing because of you😁

   1. Right on! Good luck

   2. Yes etfs are amazing 😉 then the roller coaster of a single stock

7. Brad, this is really awesome video. Can you please make a video on safe bonds to reserve cash until next market crash? As you know the yield on savings account was dropped to 1%. Will be very useful for people holding cash

   1. I try to only make videos about things I have personal experience with and personally I am too young to consider bonds..

      As far as next market crash.. rule number 1. Time in the market ALWAYS beats timing the market. Unless you know when the next crash will be.. please tell!!

      I know that cash holdings aren’t for growth so the 1% doesn’t bother me at all. It could be .0005.. cash isn’t designed for growth. It’s designed for protection so the only advice is give is what I do and my cash is in my capital one 360 money market account. With that said, with my age and current income security I don’t hold much in cash at all relatively speaking. Hope that helps

8. Brad, totally love the love and care you have, thanks for making it clear that everyone is entitled to their opinions and that you are not pushing down the throat your information! I am new to your page, but I’m loving the information and the informative way in which you allows us to learn as well. Amazing content and keep it going! Could you add what is the best percentage ratio between the different sectors? How much percentage of technology or energy or consumer or real estate you have in your portfolio?

   1. I could definitely give you my breakdown Rafael but there is no “best way” to do that. That is all a mater of preference. I’ll figure out mine and let you know.

9. Great information and analysis like always! Congrats on your 18k subs. With the quality and consistent content you are creating, blue sky breakout from here on! Thanks for the time spent on SPLG, learned a lot!

   1. Thank you so much for the kind words. Hearing stuff like this really makes my day!

10. Personally if I had a portfolio of dividend stocks, I would add a growth index fund for added punch. But also ensure I am not too over loaded in a particular sector or stock.

    1. Sweet man

11. Hey Brad just started watching your videos and already learned so much !!

    I just bought a mutual fund on my Roth IRA account. The problem is since I’m not working right now due to the virus I was wondering if I can deposit any money into my ira account. Someone told me since I quit working that means even the net pay you got from work you can’t add it anymore since I’m currently unemployed. Just wondering if this is true?

    Keep up the great video man

    1. You can only contribute the amount of earned income you have (income you pay tax on) up to the limit of $6,000

12. I’ve noticed that the Dividend yield you’ve got listed differ to those I’ve found. For eg, for VOO you have a div. yield of 1.83% whereas on Stake they show 1.72%, and on ETFDB . com they show 1.75%. Why aren’t they the same?

    1. Depending on the quality of the website and how often they update their data will effect the yield because yield is represented by the the share price which changes daily. I’m this is why I say to always cross reference data and go by dividend payout amount more than yield.

    2. @Brad Finn So if I buy VOO at a div yield of 1.72% and then it drops to lets say 1.6% after i purchase it, will i receive 1.72% div yield or 1.6%?

13. When you think about retirement or trying to aggressively retire early (next 10yrs) would SPYG be the way to go vs IVV? The growth aspect of the stocks in the fund are more volatile but in any index investing with time you win either way. Am i thinking about this right?

    1. It’s really a personal choice. No right or wrong answer

14. Great analysis. I did a similar analysis before watching and IVV was the best pick.

    1. Sweet. Buy it all

15. SCHX is a great choice too. It is the S&P 500 plus an additional 250 stocks. One of those stocks are Tesla at 1.04% of the holdings. The ETF has outperformed VOO since inception, but VOO has significantly higher volume.

    1. sounds good

16. Hi loved the video but I am confused (happens easily and often). I am new to investing but not new to numbers. When I run a hypothetical $10K investment over 10 years in IVV, I get $38K and for SPYG I get $53K. Even with the higher fees, there is no way you can pass up $15K. Let me know if I am seeing this correctly. Thank you….

    1. We all see things differently. Always go with what your research shows, not what you see on YouTube.

17. Great video man, just one question: does the VOO inception year is 1976? I was doing an updated comparison and saw that the VOO inception year marked in several finance pages is 2010.

    1. It was created in 2010. There were no etfs in the 70’s

18. I recently been looking into FZROX and can’t find anything wrong with it other than its fairly new. Low expense, well 0 expense. Im thinking of going with FZROX or perhaps FSKAX and this would be my primary one.

    1. Sweet

19. VOO is actually a separate share class of the Vanguard 500 mutual funds, making its AUM much much larger than that of IVV. (VFIAX, VFINX, etc)

    1. 👍🏻

20. How did I miss this when I was researching which to invest in? Finally settled on mostly EFTs and two mutual funds, NEXTX and PRBLX) for fast cash, since the money is available that night, while it takes two days for ETF cash to settle. No S&P anything as I don’t want to invest in companies I abhor. Thank you, as always!
