But I don't 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 5: have a job anymore. I don't need a job. I 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 5: direct my time as I see fit. And yeah, most 25 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 5: of that wealth came from starting and growing company, and 26 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 5: I sold it when I was thirty four, and then 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 5: I've been an index fund investor before and after. I 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 5: just invest long term, buy and hold, keep it simple, 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 5: and that's how I think I'm going to maximize my 30 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 5: own wealth going forward. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: All right, So yeah, we got a couple of questions 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: first and Foremo, thank you for joining us. 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 4: Hey, welcome, We appreciate it. 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 2: So index investing. 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: We talked about index investing a little bit, but I 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: know you're real big on it, So Ian thought that 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: this would be a perfect opportunity to really go deep dove. 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: Why do you prefer index investing over individual stocks? 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 5: So you know, I've been listening to the show today 40 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 5: and like you guys are talking a lot. When you're 41 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 5: talked about Apple, you talked about you know, gosh and 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: the oil. And here's the thing is, like it's very, 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 5: very hard to beat the market. And so if you 44 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 5: buy an individual stock and it goes up eight percent 45 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 5: this year, but the whole stock market went up ten percent, 46 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 5: that's not really a gain, it's really a two percent 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 5: loss to the market. And the sum total of all 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 5: the stocks in the market average out to the market. 49 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 5: So you know, if one stock is up twelve percent 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 5: and one's up eight percent, that averages it out. That 51 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 5: averages out to ten percent. And so when you're trying 52 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 5: to pick stocks, you're essentially saying, I'm trying to beat 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 5: the market. Because if you're not trying to beat the market, 54 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 5: then you shouldn't be picking individual stocks. You should just 55 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 5: buy the index. And then if you're contending that you 56 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 5: can beat the market. What it's very very challenging because 57 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 5: despite being like and I think you guys are extremely 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 5: well researched, you've done your homework, you're very well read, 59 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 5: but you're not competing against the next investor. You're competing 60 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 5: against the sum total of human knowledge. Because the sum 61 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: total of human knowledge is constantly, instantly being baked into 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: every single price every single stock, because there's millions or 63 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: billions of traders and only a few thousand stocks that 64 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 5: can be traded on so every single, tiny little penny 65 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 5: change is being priced, you know, is being priced based 66 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 5: on all the different traders, all the different algorithms, trading 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 5: all different mutual funds, all different hedge funds, and so 68 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 5: to beat that game is extremely difficult. Plus when you 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 5: trade includes, there's fees, or there's you know, buy sell gaps, 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 5: there's tax implications if you're selling an index fund. Basically 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 5: says Okay, I'm going to just admit I am not 72 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: smarter than the sum total of human knowledge. And instead 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 5: of trying to pick and choose a few stocks, I 74 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 5: want to buy every single stock all at once. And 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 5: so in the US there's out four thousand publicly trade stocks. 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 5: You can just buy all four thousand, all at once 77 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 5: for virtually no cost. There's like tiny, tiny fee associatedies. 78 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 5: When you do that, you guarantee yourself your fair share 79 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 5: of all market growth. So you own Apple, you own Microsoft, 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 5: you own Facebook, you own that Fix, your own next 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: on Mobile, your own General Electric, Tesla down the list, 82 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 5: you own everything. And when all those companies grow and 83 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 5: innovate and hire and profit and increase greade revenues, all 84 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: that is pumped right back into index fund, right back 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 5: into your account, without having to guess which is better. 86 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: So that's why I let the next funds because I'm 87 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 5: not I don't want to get taken advantage of by 88 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 5: algorithmic traders, or by mutual fund managers, or by hedge 89 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: fund managers. I want to guarantee myself my fair share 90 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 5: of growth of market growth, and over long periods of time, 91 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 5: the market goes up about ten percent per year. And 92 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 5: if you're just putting away five hundred bucks a month 93 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 5: at ten percent per year over thirty years or sorry, 94 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 5: over forty years, is about three million dollars you can become. 95 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 5: You can become fabulously wealthy with just slow and study, 96 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 5: tried and true investing in an index fund. 97 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: So when did you start investing? 98 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 6: I know you said, you know, you stopped working at 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 6: thirty six for someone at thirty six. 100 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: No, he sold his company company? What company did you have? 101 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: You sold? 102 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 5: The company was called rent Links online rental housing listings. 103 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 5: So if you want to list an apartment for rent, 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 5: you could post it to zillo or apartments dot com 105 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: or rentals dot com or Craigslist. I created a site 106 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 5: where you can post it once and automatically feeds to 107 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 5: fifty different sites, and then you can track all your 108 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 5: incoming leads from rentors. So it's basically a tool for landlords. 109 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: Would you sell it to. 110 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 5: I sold it to a company called at Folio, who 111 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 5: is publicly traded. I bought a bunch of their stock 112 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 5: at twelve and I sold most of it at twenty 113 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 5: four and now it's at one hundred and eighty. 114 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: Oops. 115 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 5: I still own some and actually like the condo you 116 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 5: see behind me was paid for with a former Atfolio stocks. 117 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 5: So it did it did? It did fine for me? 118 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: But yeah, so I sold that folio. 119 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 120 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 7: My personal investment at Philosophy that I like is to 121 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 7: have half indexes and then half tech stocks. But why 122 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 7: do you think people hate index and even though it's 123 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 7: the easiest thing to invest in a long. 124 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 5: Term I like that strategy. By the way, I actually 125 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 5: go for the ninety ten strategy, which is ninety percent 126 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: index funds, ten percent stocks.

Indeed is all 178 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: you need. 179 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 5: But at picking stocks as you hope you are, not you, 180 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 5: I just mean any person you should be able to 181 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 5: look at your two portfolios and see that you over 182 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 5: long periods of time, talking like five plus years, if 183 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: your stocks are really outperforming your index, is that cool, 184 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 5: then you can move more towards stocks. But if your 185 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 5: stocks crash, you want to actually not ruin your retirement 186 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 5: by you know, not having like your fair share of 187 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 5: market growth. So I think the reason people don't like 188 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 5: index funds is because it sounds like it's average. They're like, 189 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 5: I don't want average. I want fabulous growth. And it's 190 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 5: not get rich quick. It's not exciting, it's not sexy. 191 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 5: It's like very boring, like you got you were saying earlier, 192 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 5: like look at the market every day. I was like, 193 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 5: you know, I mean I kind of do like at 194 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 5: the market just because I'm interested in it. But like, 195 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 5: but I don't make trades like I might. I might 196 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 5: go years without making trades other than just constant reinvesting 197 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 5: because I know over time it's going to average out, 198 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 5: and so I think it's it sounds like it's average. 199 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: In my opinion, it's not average. There's a study that 200 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 5: shows that over the last you know, one hundred years, 201 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 5: the market goes up about ten percent per year, but 202 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: the average investor gets about four percent because of making 203 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 5: all these mistakes, Like I mean the market. You know, 204 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 5: I just talked to a friend yesterday who who's a 205 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 5: who's a pretty wealthy guy. But he in the middle 206 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 5: of the coronavirus crash, he was sure that the market 207 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 5: was going to get worse and worse, and so he 208 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 5: he bought an inverse ETF so he bet against the market. 209 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: He bet the market was going to go down more. 210 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 5: And then of course, like the last few weeks, the 211 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 5: market has jumped out thirty percent, so he got he 212 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 5: got super crush, right, and so like. 213 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: Well, first I wanted to say shots to YouTube. We 214 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: had another record twenty one hundred. The news alert, Yeah, 215 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: breaking news shots to YouTube.

Ey l Earn is in here. 220 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: So the term I want to ask. 221 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: You all, and this is the one that we talking 222 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 3: about to high like this because we're not a lot 223 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 3: of a lot of plans forms online are biased that 224 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: they only steer you into one direction, and you could 225 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: really steer somebody into any direction that you want them 226 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: to go. There's really no right or wrong in investing. 227 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: So we talk about stocks a lot, but everybody. We 228 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 3: realize that everybody is not going to be an individual 229 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: stock participant, So we want to talk about index funds, ETFs, 230 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: mutual funds, all of those different things, and they all 231 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: have advantages and disadvantages. So with the with the index, 232 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: what is some what is some top indexes that you 233 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: personally are invested in or you personally recommend? I mean, 234 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: we know like the Dow Jones five hundred, the S 235 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: and B I mean the S and P five hundred, 236 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: now Jones. 237 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 4: But what I thought I was going to say. 238 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: So what are some what are some top indexes that 239 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: you recommend? 240 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: Well, first, you're importing about there's lots of different ways 241 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 5: to do it. I always talk about my two rules. 242 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 5: Rule number one is live below your means, spend less 243 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 5: than you make. And rule number two is invest early 244 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: and often. And so if it's if it's real estate, 245 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 5: if it's individual stocks. You know, like you said, there's 246 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 5: a lot of ways to do investing. But if you 247 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 5: spend every dollar you make, no matter what, no matter 248 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 5: how clever of an investor you are, it doesn't matter 249 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 5: because you're going to be broke. And so, you know, 250 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 5: I think investing can be confusing to a lot of people. 251 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 5: But always remember if you spend less than you make 252 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 5: and you invest that difference, you know, you just want 253 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 5: to increase that gap. It doesn't matter if you're perfect 254 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 5: and investing. That's the important part is actually doing it. 255 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 5: And don't let the fear of the perfect stop you 256 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 5: from even getting started, right because it's like, oh, it's 257 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 5: so it's so confusing, I'm just going to spend every 258 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: dollar I make. You know, that's the wrong reaction. Just 259 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 5: just get started. So, and to answer your question about 260 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 5: the best indexes, the thing about indexes is like there's 261 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 5: not really better or worse. I just did a little 262 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 5: study on the top twelve US stock market indexes over 263 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 5: the last decade, and they're all basically identical because they 264 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 5: all do the same thing. They all follow the market. 265 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 5: And so there's a book that's on the three fund portfolio, 266 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 5: which basically says, there's only three things you need to 267 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 5: buy US stock market index fund, which is to buy 268 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 5: every single US stock, an international or non US stock 269 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 5: market index fund, which is to buy you know, Europe, China, Korea, 270 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 5: you know, all the emerging markets. And then the third 271 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 5: would be a bond fund. And so those three kind 272 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 5: of give you the ultimate diversity every US stock, every 273 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 5: non US stock, and then the income producing bonds. And 274 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 5: then you just have to choose your asset allocation, which 275 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 5: is what percent each and most people usually choose something 276 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 5: like fifty five percent US, forty five percent international, and 277 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: ten percent bonds. That would be an aggressive portfolio for 278 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 5: like a young person in the wealth accumulation phase. 279 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 6: That's a valuable that's a valuable lesson because a lot 280 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: of times we're looking at it like you, listen, we're 281 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 6: trying to get rich quick, and X funds ain't to 282 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 6: pop the weight right because it's slow and steady. 283 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, the market is 284 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: always going to grow.
