This video looks at whether the S&P 500 is still a good investment, and is it all you need to invest in for a well-diversified investing portfolio? Also does it matter if you live outside the US, or should we just go for it. I look at the pros and the cons and then give my own thoughts as someone who has already most of his portfolio in the S&P 500 as it stands.

  1. Bank, good video you can also skim off some of your gains into Large Cap Value and Small Cap Value to increase your returns over long periods of time and add a couple of percent additional average return and lower your volatility a bit.

  2. Im 51 and only hold swppx. Thats it. The Bogle head way of doing things is outdated. I read on that form. Sometimes people have 10 to 15 different index funds. You’re never going to beat the S&P 500.

  3. When taxes and fees are factored in there is no better choice than a market index for any extended period (say 10 years or more). The best analogy I can give you is the following: I am telling you BEFORE a 15 horse race starts which horse is guaranteed to finish 2nd. If one is foolish enough to say "I will ignore that advice as I think I can pick the winner" than so be it. You can make a hell of a lot of money knowing which horse finishes 2nd.

  4. The problem is that, in hindsight, everyone is a genius.

    When you have to freeze capital for decades while suffering huge drawdowns and being complete unsure of the future, is all another matter.

    There is only one real way to go: either trading by hedging, only if you have the right capital, or just spending and enjoying your money. 🙂
