SCHG looks good. The more I learn about the Schwab ETFs, I'm impressed.

I have SPYG in my taxable account, which looks really similar, except it tracks the S&P Growth Index (same expense ratio, similar total holdings, I think the top 10 are the same). The returns aren't too far off from each other.

In that account I use SPYG as the spot for steady long-term growth and to funnel gains into over time.

Just looked at the holdings for these 2. Thanks for sharing.
 


With cash earning 5% or more and intermediate-term bonds earning less than 5%, many have asked me if they should move all of their fixed-income portfolios to T-bills.
In this video, I share why I think that would be a big mistake.

Yesterday, expectations of a September Interest Rate Cut by the Fed Triggered a Huge Rotation in the Stock Market. Large Cap Tech Stocks ($MSFT, $NVDA, $TSLA, $AAPL, $AMZN) sold off while previously unloved small cap stocks ($IWM) and rate sensitive sectors like Real Estate, Industrials, Financials and Materials rebounded significantly

What does this mean for the bull market. Should investors sell tech stocks and start buying cyclical rate sensitive stocks instead? Find out in this video

Good listen.

"...You make money during the day, you build wealth in your sleep. Thats why they call making money during the day, making a living. Most people are obsessed with making a living, but not necessarily a life.

You build wealth in your sleep, stocks, bonds, investments, home ownership, small business ownership, I believe education qualifies for that. You build wealth in your sleep. It's a compounding mechanism."

** Not my quote - It was in the video.

More notes from video:

https://www.arielinvestments.com/ - Black owned investment company.

Buy the worst house on the best block in a working-class neighborhood. Near jobs, transportation, economic activity and commerce. (Hospitals, universities)
Buy it, rehab it. hold contractors accountable - weekly updates

Use HELOC (could be tax deductible) or use a bank to get a mortgage/construction load to buy home and rehab - Rent it.

In 2 years, take equity from the home and buy a 3rd home in same area (nothing fancy) and repeat.

** I like the mortgage/construction approach. If you can avoid placing your primary in the bank's crosshairs, do it.
