thank you so much for sharing this helpful video.
Compared to your other videos, I didn't find this one very helpful. The main reason I see diversification can be useful is because allocating all of your resources in one area can increase the likelihood that a single event could cause one to lose a crippling amount. I found your example confusing.
I am new to investing and I feel like there is so much to learn. But I do want to understand and be serious about it. I've heard that it is best to start when you're young. This is easier said than done because when you're young you don't make the same salary as your older co-workers, you have to start building your life by establishing your home, family, etc, put your kids through school, and still enjoy life. But I know that it is worth it when it is time to retire. Thanks for using food to explain what a portfolio is. It has helped me more than you know.
Thank You!!
Diversification is for protection of ignorance. It's for people who do not know what they are ate doin…….
This video is amazingly helpful! Im subscribing! I just created my portfolio but Im like a Chinese student in an American school, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE!
Hello Sasha! It was a nice Comparison!
By the way, when you diversify, do you take into account the direction/performance of that stock sector (Industry) or the overall Market (to invest in the same direction)?
//For instance, assuming Facebook have a very strong technical pattern (or the right set up to be bullish) and excellent fundamentals to buy it long, with its sector (technology) in a bearish state and maybe the NASDAQ too… would u acquire this stock long ?
I own vfv wich is an etf that follows the sp500
Since there is 500 companies in the sp would you say i am well diversified??
Great video, but may I ask what your success rate is in the stock market? 50% or closer to 90%? Do you make more money on trading stock or selling your -Books, DVD, Training etc . Sorry…there are way to many frauds on the internet.
Mark Cuban says diversification is for idiots?
what are good playforms to start on ?
Thanks for a great video. Aren't you exposed to risk when you have a long stock position?
Yes÷yes,,,you may start doing what you preach,, contribute to people by giving deeeeeep discounts on some of your overpriced items *))
