Grate video! Thank you so much for teaching people like me 👍😘

Are etf the same as index funds?

If I’m not in the USA, nor I posses a U.S. passport, can I still use Vanguard n invest?

Thank you for this video

Video seems pretty helpful i just have couple questions cause im pretty dumb.
1. If i were to buy 5 shares would i have to keep buying shares every month or can i just hold on to those 5 shares for couple years?
2. How long do i have to wait to cash out those funds so it can be tax free?

I am from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific and I want to open Vanguard Index Fund Account, will it be possible. Please advise. Thank you

I electronic checks to deposit funds into vanguard doesn’t work. Do people actually main checks to invest in Vanguard?

Charlie what if you're in your mid 60's. Would Vanguard index or etf's be viable?

I think I opened the wrong kind of account. I chose individual investor. Lol

Thank you for the video! It really helps someone thats a beginner like me!

Question: Is the electronic bank transfer to Vanguard account taxed?

Does it work the same for those who have foreign banks, in different regions?

Hello - @charlie chang-I'm a Filipino and working in Dubai. I wanted to open an account in vanguard ..I'm a non USA citizen..is that possible?

This is the most educated tutorial I’ve ever seen thank you so much .

Love how you showed how to do everything! Thank you so much!

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

How can you get symbols for different stock you want to buy

Can buy shares every month or just once? Or can you do VOO one month and then SPY another month?

are you saying that I leave my funds into my settlement in Vanguard, I make no money?

God bless you for helping to people

Is there an equivilant to this in the uk?

I live here in canada can i use vanguard too?

Would you be able to create a video for Australians who have money in Superannuation but want to invest in the S&P 500 using their Super but also create an income stream? Thank you.

Thank you so much for breaking This down! Currently 24 but man I wished I would’ve known about this stuff at 18 but better late than never.

thank you!

What if I'm not employed?

Great video.

Do I have to set up a separate account on Vanguard if I want a Roth IRA and a separate retirement investment/savings account?

Is there an updated one? It looks a lot different on the sign up pages.

Is the ROTH IRA a USA-specific fund? Could I access that from the UK or is it designed to comply with US tax laws or something?

im gonna open an account omg

This video is awesome!

Can you make a video explaining the expense ratio! This was so helpful!

Most people will technically have amassed a million dollars by time they retire, it’s just usually taken away in taxes and other expenses

Wait, I thought you don't need a minimum amount to invest in index funds??? I'm so lost. ☹️😵‍💫 What's the difference between index funds and ETF's? I've heard people say that index funds are the safest way to invest, and that you can start with anything. Can someone please help me? 🙏I want to make a Vanguard account and invest in the S&P 500 index there but I'm so lost now. Is there a minimum amount you need to invest???

Hello this is really helpful! With the Roth IRA account can you pull out the money whenever you want?

I have been doing Decentralized finance for a long time and that has given me a life. I really wish I understood how Index Funds works so I could have another source of income but the videos I see online don't help a lot🤦‍♂🤦‍♂💔

Because I wanna start is it safe

I learn so much every time I watch one of your videos. Currently creating a Vangaurd account as we speak. Hopefully at 23 years old thats not too late.

Thank for great effort to creating this video

Cod you please help and share any information for people living in iraq intend to buy shares for long term investment retirement ect...

Hi Thank you so for this informative video, is it advisable to buy these ETFs for a period of say 5yrs? If yes is VOO or VOOG a good option?

does anyone know how taxes work on these stocks earnings?

Aren't you experiencing investment overlap and therefore reducing your diversity by having multiple S&P index funds?

Needs a user interface update.

What are you doing for the fraud that is happening around the world with your name?
