@TheNipommu A zero risk tolerance is going to limit what you can do – strictly speaking only holding cash has no risk and in some cases even that can have risks. What I would suggest as a first step would be to get familiar with dollar cost averaging (to put money in slowly), tax savings, diversification – the minimums for a mutual fund are typically very low, but depends on the provider. Hope that helps a little bit.
My risk tolerance is zero, I have $1000 Cnd, which would be the smartest choice for me? ETF or mutual funds? you didn’t mention if mutual funds require a minimum or not. ETFs doesn’t require any minimum. Could you help me with this? thanks.
I’m 14 and looking to invest and by stocks. Should I get a mutual fund?

@TheChapaqua In the UK, these products are unit trusts – timing a one-off investment of £1,000 if it represents a large part of savings is prob. not a good idea but one can make investments in ISAs (effectively unit trusts with no tax on gains) or unit trusts with much less – the other relevant points are to use dollar (or pound) cost averaging, to save an affordable amount, the time horizon, tax considerations etc. as per some of the other videos and the book please.
For a mimimum of a long-term £1000 investment, would it be worthwhile to pursue a ‘mutual funds’ option?
Mutual funds are subject to very high market risk. People can loose massive amounts of money in market crashes. Look at the dot com bust of 2000, and the sub-prime crash of 2008. Mutual funds take 100% of your money, place 100%
of the risk on the investor, and take 80% of the profits. Of the 20% left-over, at least 15% is taken by the fund company in fees and advisor commissions. You are left with at best a 5% annual rate of return. Essentially, Mutual Funds are a
HUGE Scam/Rip-Off/Bad Idea.
@MixMeAdrink There are also mutual funds that invest in stocks and bonds (often referred to as balanced funds). Main difference in this context relates to measurement/tracking vs. a benchmark as opposed to absolute return focus – other difs. include regulation, target investors, ability to short-sell – see answer below as well for MixMeAdrink – hope this helps – more in book as well – thank you for interest (not enough space here to cover fully) – best regards, Michael.
@MixMeAdrink Hi MixMeAdrink – obviously videos on both which hopefully illustrate some of differences relating to regulation, target investors (hedge funds more for sophisticated larger), tracking or measurement of and against benchmark (mutual funds) versus more absolute return focus (hedge funds), ability to short-sell (hedge funds) vs. long-only (most mutual funds). There is also more information in book – I hope this helps (and not enough space here to address fully). Best regards, Michael.
@MixMeAdrink
when a person invests in mutual fund ,all his money is used in single area(like bond or like in stocks) but on the otherhand if a person invests in hedge fund,then his investment would be diversified in different portfolios like some money in stock and some in bond etc.

What’s the difference between mutual funds and hedge funds?
I’m listening to a David Ramsey class, and he talks a lot about mutual funds and suggests them for long term investing. Would you agree? Any input?
Thank you very much. That helped a lot!
I wouldn’t invest without a few months of thorough reading on the subject..
So I am a brand new invester with a chunck of change that I will have a professional friend invest in mutual funds, what do you recommend for some pre-investing research?
Sorry, I meant to say LOAD funds come with an expense to either buy (front end load) or the manager will take his fees out of the return of the fund (back end load).
A no load fund comes with an expense to either buy (front end load) or the manager will take his fees out of the return of the fund (back end load).
No load funds have neither, however,they come with an annual expense ratio. Anything under 1% expense ratio is good.
There are mutual funds that invest in more than just stocks. All one has to do is go to one of the mutual fund company’s website and see the securities held in each fund. Vanguard, fidelity are a good start. This video does not help much in my opinion.
nice..
how about explaining load vs. no load mutual funds, I’d like to learn more on that!
WOW! thank you so much for this! i can actually understand it now. the f*****g book i’m reading doesnt make any sense! thanks so much!!!
I understand what he has said but he didn’t emphasize on the risk factor. Like we have a global crisis at the moment. But if the domestic market is doing well then the global market, should we invest some where in the domestic market?
thanks for doing this…. I’m a translator and interpreter student junior year… and i’M USING your video to interpret you into spanish
thanks
thanks so much you guys rock, and should be millionaires by now.
very simple yet so informative. by far the best vid i’ve ever seen about investments. so cool
Can you really bank $43,945.75 in 30 days with ZERO investment? Here’s what I know about it. People will do it with this… Passive Income Advice [dot] com.
But what happens when your mutual fund goes bust.? What happens when your broker goes bust. What happens when Wall Street goes bust ? Our Government is already bankrupt.
shares that have been pruchased in total by investors
what are ‘outstanding shares’
You guys are cool people… keep it up! So… mutual funds are basically investment into individual stocks except in the form of packages??
thanks, i learned a lot!
I like the way that this was explained. It was vaery clear & drawn out for the adverage Joe like me. Thanks
Are there any online games or anything that would let you play like you’re investing in stocks like sort of a “virtual world” that would allow you incorporate what you learn in real life? I want to really invest in stocks, but I dont want to throw away real money, until I have a better grasp at what I am doing. Love ya’ll videos! So informative and cool.
Great episode Learned a lot thanks!
Nice video to learn more about investing…
That was GREAT
:O I love this series!
Please make more, im learning a lot.
Another great episode!
I still can’t get over how awesome the premise for the show is!
One more thing: I think you should lose the galoshes James. Excluding those you’re fly.
you guys are the sh*t, seriously.
sweet i’m learning- this is definitely cheaper than my $50K college tuition!
I think you’re doing a most valuable service! As American’s, you can have a Ph.D. and still be financially ignorant. Investing is key to success and it amazes me how many would go to Yahoo! to view the lates “American Idol” stats when the key to knowledge and financial freedom is there for the taking in Yahoo!Finances. I admit guilt as one of those masses, but I slowly learned and am now doing better. Keep it up, this new medium will help many young people to get knowledge to thrive!
Awesome Guys!!! But tell Thrasher 2 to loose the bo tie, he looks like a gift I gave my girlfriend once.
What I’m actually trying to say is that, while you’ll maybe be successful with the network deal you’ll probably be broadcasting you’re show on some american network and I’m from Romania. So that probably gives me almost no chance to be able to view your show. So… my plea is that you don’t give up uploading your episodes on youtube cause it would be a big disapointment for me and probably for others in my situation. Anyway…keep doing what you’re doing cause it’s great…
You said on a previous video that you are doing a series of episodes for a network. That leads me to believe that you are involved in some kind of negotiations with that network for, maybe, a tv show. If that’s the case, then I’m glad for you cause you’ve been doing a great job so far. I must add that I’m graduating highschool this year and that I’m continuing my studies in economics, so although I know most of the stuff you’re discussing, I’m still a constant an enthusiastic subscriber.
can anyone create a mutual fund? how does that work?
love your work and keep up the good stuff:P
thnx guys, am a bit new to this stuff so its all new but its great keep it up.
