1. Details on Strategy
– I only have one investment.
– I plan on holding forever
– I stopped investing money into it

This atomically sounds strange I know but by the end of this video you will understand

What is this investment:
– I only invest in the S&P 500 and I have never taken money out of my investment….yet at least
– Why? It’s the 500 largest companies in the US, that are responsible for 80% of the US stock market output
Have you ever heard about the 80-20 rule, it’s like that ( all though you have over 3k companies in the market these 500 account for most of the output )
– Risk: if the US economy collapses, so do my investment, along with eh entire planet, because our companies are also involved in other countries

I plan on Holding Forever
– Forever in this context just means a long time, until it doesn’t make sense
– For example, I see that my money could be better invested somewhere else, I would consider it
– But using history I know that the Market has recovered from every downturn, but I know eventually it won’t ( and at that point, the consequence will be so massive, that the way I’m invested won’t matter )

I stopped Investing into:
– Most people don’t know this, but if you invest let’s say $50k by the time you turn 30 years old
– And you leave that money in an index fund like the s&P 500 for 35 years until you turn 65, at an 10% return
– You end up with about 1.4Mil dollars
– Not to mention what you receive from social security

But the reason I stopped investing is not to enjoy more of my money
– But it is to invest more of my money
– More on that in another video
– So make sure you subscribe

2. This is all on Paper ( tomorrow this could be worth $10 )
– All the money that I made except for my dividend checks, are all on paper
– Meaning I don’t really make the money until I decide to sell it
– And also means that I don’t lose the money until I decide to sell either

So for example:
– If I made 100k investment and it went up 300%, and now I have 300k
– Until I sell that investment, I really haven’t made anything
– Just remember the Dogi coin millionaire, that lost a bunch of money because he wanted to keep holding

However, my dividend return is very real
– I made about $5,387 from my dividend this year
– That’s $448 per month when you break it down
– Where is this money now, I reinvested it back in the stock market
– So it bought me approximately 12-13 extra shares of stock at 440 per stock

Info: I do plan to stop this reinvesting moving forward this year though, more on that in the video I keep telling you about

3. How much did my investment go in Value this year
– The answer is simple
– I made exactly what the stock market made
– And if you look that up, in the past year the market made about 26.3%

So here is the information from my account:
– I made 26.4%, which is about 5 figures little bit above mid tear and that’s because the market did some cool things this year
– But on average I can expect to make a third of that, because I usually expect to earn 8-10%

Now the question is:
– What will you do with that money that was made, and the answer is nothing
– I will let that money keep compounding and growing

Tip: but pretty soon I’ll be taking 4% annually from that money, to build something else
