📍Nice video, love how you take your time to educate your viewers. Right now, I am enjoying a good life and touring round the world with what I made investing. Indeed ,building a Portfolio income(investing) through a licensed investment adviser is one out of many ways to earn passive income.
Do what everybody else is doing if you are okay with only having what everybody else has.Information that will pay you everyday, you’ve got to stop saving all your money.
Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Choose to grow and elevate your mind by studying audios, videos, attending conferences that will give you the edge!
Such an informative comment!Hope it is okay with you and that you don’t mind sharing tips on how to invest. I have watched a lot of videos on YT but still can’t understand nor set my mind at one thing.
Nate loved this video, it was really helpful. Waiting for your Bond Market Analysis video and also a tutorial to bond investing for beginners. Keep coming up with your quality content bro! Love from India.
Dividends are an important part of total returns but should not be focused on. If you are going to pursue a dividend strategy use a dividend ETF and hood it within a tax advantaged account. Total return investing in index funds will almost certainly perform better over the long term though.
Do you do interviews? I had some questions I’ve wanted to ask (only 20-30min of your time). Mainly how you deal with hardship, how you stay true to your values, and how do you manage haters.
Regardless, love all your videos huge fan. Keep up the good work
stock dividend… here in brazil🇧🇷 we use this strategy a lot. I recommend a book “make fortunes with stocks, decio bazin” portrays this method a lot, I imagine it should work with nasdaq shares. remembering that this book is in Portuguese if you can translate it is a good read.
Some of the sites are not available in Ghana
There’s no other financial advice youtube channel that is as honest as Nate’s. This is great content for the people.
Agreed this is an awesome Channel! I think minority mindset is pretty good too, he’s very transparent and that channel has to do with some investing also real estate. Ticker symbol you is an MIT grad who’s worked a lot in an artificial intelligence in his area of expertise that he talks about is just disruptive technologies. Try to keep the channels I watched to a minimum because keep things from becoming complicated but I really like these three channels. The host Channel and these other two.
Well explained Nate 👏👏 you nailed it awesome 🤩
Great stuff man
Thoughts on people who say investing in stocks is “small” or “cute” compared to running a business like Alex Hormozi and Iman Gadzhi? (they kind of make it sound like a waste of time)
It becomes more important as your wealth grows
@Nate O’Brien thank you
@Nate O’Brien actually that makes sense since a lot of people don’t have “extra” to put towards to start letting things compound massively so they end up only putting a little bit into investing and never grows to much
What’s the difference of running a company (owning 100% of its stock) and owning 10% of 10 companies? Answer you dont have to work for the stock gains in the later case.
Not the full truth, so here it comes, with a company you have other perks, such as buying things before getting taxed. You can easier leverage your gains using debt. Its not uncommon to earn more running a company than just owning thier stocks. But you also allocated to one single stock and it takes all your time (working), if your company fails, you broke.
@Eight Sprites fair

Ken you are my longest lasting viewer. Here since 1,000 subscribers I believe
Nate, I love when you do these kinds of tutorials. You are really good at explaining and I always find I learn so much. 😀
I love it too. This guy is amazing.
Thanks! I’m going to start making longer videos
Dividend stocks or dividend ETFs are just great. I personally love SCHD ETF, and I keep buying it. Just a piece of advice when researching a dividend stock, always look at the dividend history. There are companies that put a high dividend yield just to attract more investors, but their fundamentals might be shitty. GREAT VIDEO Nate, thanks!!!
I missed your videos a lot!
I’m back!
Where is dividend calculator link?
Awesome video bro. Something that is often overlooked are dividend growth stocks; combining the best of growth and dividend stocks. Companies like AAPL, MSFT, CNI, KO are good example of them that have smashed the market. Just as an example, if you invested in AAPPL back in 2012 as a dividend grower, you would now have a yield on cost of 4.2% and growing fast, at a 9.5% CAGR since 2012. If you invested into MSFT when they started their dividend back in 2003, you would now have a yield on cost of 11.3% and growing fast. It has a 12% CAGR over the past 19 years. So, as you can see, not only has the stock price grown by 1000% for MSFT over the past 19 years, but you get a massive compounding ability with the dividend growing as it has 😁
zim….dividend trap for example.
Thanks for sharing this information, Nate! I truly understand why you said making educational long video is better than just making a video. The information you have shared will educate people 5, 10 years from today.
I find more fulfillment in these videos rather than clickbait hype
@Nate O’Brien My passion is baking and cooking. I have been using my platform to learn how to edit,. I will be filming cooking lesson soon. I do appreciate the your videos because they give me ideas of what to do with money when I start to acquire a significant amount.
Capitalism???
I feel job online
Did you make this video because you wanted to learn more about dividend investing?
I wanted to share my thoughts
i like the dividend snowball…thanks for tutorial Nate !
Awesome!
Great video
Fabulous. Highly appreciated 🙏
Ok. I’ve watched a lot of videos on dividend investing and this video is so much more comprehensive. Thank you for being clear and consise, my favorite part was the explaination of common terms, as quite a lot of other “beginner” sources like to just throw them around and assume viewers trust them more for being exclusive. Also thanks for not yelling. My god, the yelling in some of these videos.
My comment was deleted 🙁 was just trying to help.
I’m only investing in dividend paying ETFs: VTI, VWO, VEA, KOMP.
That sounds exciting, but work is conducive to one’s well-being and satisfaction in life so I’m ok to do without too much passive income. We’re only here once in a lifetime, mind as well make a real difference in the world if you can.
Very thorough explanations of the dividend stocks with the good and the not so good well covered. Thanks, Nate. I like your videos very much.
Nobody become financially successful overnight. You must put in background work to achieve success. But we tend to see the finished part. Fear is a dangerous component hindering us from taking bold steps we need in order to reach our goals. You have to contend with inflation, Recession, decisions from the Feds and all.
Not fear all the time. It could be some practical factors which discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I’ve tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by the fluctuations of stock value.
@Arlo O. Edmar You are definitely going to want someone who has experience in managing a portfolio in bear and bull markets. I invest in all of the major markets, but not alone. I mirror the trades of ” ELENA ANN RICHARD” who you may have seen in the news performing stock analysis. I can confidently claims she’s worth her salt as a financial consultant to since her diversification abilities are top-notch.
@Everlee Damira How does a single Dad get started with investing? Seems I’ve been a loser by saving and spending 😫……… How do I get in touch with this financial consultant you mentioned?
@Richard Simon You can look her Name up on the internet. She’s renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn’t be a hassle finding her official webpage.
@Everlee Damira Heard Elena lecture on Bloomberg summit some time last year. She got such a grip on the market! Couldn’t get close enough then. Thanks for sharing.
i will come back here in 15 years and will report my process
We need videos like these…
The only random guy on the internet that we trust
Thank you Jesus for the gift of life and Blessings upon me and my family. $32,000 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!
$32, 000 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!…
I appreciate the help you give , learning investing is kind of a learning curve because its so much information to know but the way you explain it is such in a nice and easy way! I thank you sir for making such a great Video and keep up the great work.
Best channel, thanks for this vid
Missed you Nate!!!
I think I’ll re watch the video. Really valuable info. I wanna use moomoo but I don’t think it’s available in the UK.
Regarding dividends, I think it might work for me, If I invest the right way on dividends at least it’ll help me work less.
Keep it up, Nate! Lots of good dividend stocks are still on sale right now. As always, very well put together video.
Awesome Video !!! Very informative !! I am a Boomer and am counting on extra dividend income !!! You do such a great job of making it easy to understand !!!!
I am 19 years old. I have no income beyond the allowance that my parents give me every month. However I feel like it’s never to early to start building your portfolio so I decided to start my journey with the little money I can save on a monthly basis
Great place to start 👍🏻
& to start young too 📈
Damn bro go get a job lol start stacking early
Wish I started out at your age. Pick one quality dividend stock and one quality growth stock and go from there. And stick with it. You have the unequaled gift of time.
I’ve been around the market long enough to know that these ups and downs can still prove to be highly beneficial, time and again I’ve seen people use these windows of opportunities to make millions and set up for retirement, I just don’t know how they did it.
@Martiner Juhel I couldn’t agree more. Once I assumed I had a hang of the market, accrued over $50k in a quarter and got super elated, not until I stumbled upon a portfolio-coach whose been guiding me since early 2020 amidst the lockdown, its exciting to share.. I’ve netted over $800K after subsequent investments thus far.
@Fred Aiden awesome, you must have invested huge! the markets have been ugly for the past few weeks and i’m a total beginner, makes it difficult for me to taste with the waters, i’m truly enthused and dont mind using a portfolio coach, i never heard of such before
@Evan Quiel Patricia Susan Wallaitis is the coach that guides me, you probably might’ve come across her before, she’s quite known in her field with over 16 yrs of work experience, just do a name search online, sure you’ll find her page and some winning too.
Buying a lot of stock in economic bottoms and putting into company matched 401k’s. For the last 20-30 years. Anyone investing seriously before the year 2000 is going to be comfortable to retirement early. Sadly I really don’t see the market mimicking the last 25 years in the next 25 years as population growth rate slows and retiree’s cash out the stock market.
@Martiner Juhel I ignore the advice of one friend. He has ideas like go into cash. If I did that, I could have massive real losses, so why would I do that? I am long on most of my stocks and not trying to become rich quickly. That’s too risky.
nice vid bro. Dropping value bombs.
Hey Nate I hope you’re doing great,
I like your videos a lot and I really want to start investing. But am not sure where to start since am a Muslim I don’t know which stocks are Halal to invest in or which platform to use and is it regulated in the middle east or not? Consider my comment as “Video suggestion” and let me know what do you think am really interested in your thoughts and anyone who know something here In comment section regarding my issue, help a brother out 🤝
Great as always😊🌼
This is brilliant Nate, thank you
Hi Nate, can you be my Mentor? How can you help me?
Does anyone care that inflation is affecting everyday people? It’s not just about the stock market. A majority of average Americans don’t even have stocks.
@Esnol Galves But we’re not in a recession…Ok… ignore this, even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others
@Esnol Galves she’s verifiable you’ll see her on web
@Helen “Chase Kiddy” Enamaine other countries did it too
Nobody cares about inflation 😅 Biden sends us a check every month
Kid, if people have 401k’s then the money placed in those 401k’s are invested in quite a few things among which include stocks.
I really like that Nate doesn’t go with “guys, here what you have to do, I found THE WAY bla..bla…bla”, but rather “here’s what you can do, that’s what I’ve learnt on subject “. And that’s reasonable, cuz no one can say for sure what is right for other people and since it’s your life when it comes to crucial decisions you’re the one who has to make them. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be taking advices but when people from media go like “that’s what you just MUST do” -… like… come on)))
I like all the information you share. Thank you!
What is the best books to read on investing and spoting the macro trends?
Good content, but I would feel weird investing in a tobacco company… You are literally supporting a product which is killing people 😐
Thanyou for your videos! You help in understanding alot of this is appreciated.
There’s a was, and a global warming
I’d love to know how you study sector trends like you said in 25:24. Keep up the good work. 🐐🐐
luv u nerd 🤓
Lots of value here! Thank you so much, Nate!!
make how to anaylse 10-8k report i am gonna watch it even if it’s 5 hour long in depth
Thanks for your videos. I really like the way you explain the topic about investing / finance.
Giving all this information I think one should increase his income, for some months now I have been earning $12,000 from my investment on stocks and it’s been really helpful and with it I have entered into real estate and now have a house of my own
How can I reach out to you, I want to know about your investment
@春 程 you can reach me through my mail
Joshuamanuel 108@

@Joshua Manuel thanks for dropping your mail, I will reach out to you
Thanks a lot!
I’m here just to see his face. What adorable, smart, trustworthy face and person. 🙈😊
This a great video, I learn alot watching your videos and it has been helpful to me. building a steady income is quite difficult for newbies. Thanks to Allison Breward.. for improving my portfolio, Keep up with good videos.
Just buy SCHD
have you looked into preferreds? great for income investors
Stocks for the win!! As a beginner investor, I used a few things to really help expand my knowledge of the stock market in a way that was pretty digestible for a new investor. I still reference it fairly often to get a quick overview of a stock to understand it’s surface-level fundamentals by using an advisor, and I can’t recommend that method of learning enough! I use James Fletcher Brennan he is super helpful to a lot of beginners out there, thanks for sharing
Nicely done. love diversity.
Impressive!! Also, I did read about James Fletcher Brennan on the web, I was able to find his webpage and leave a mail. I’m willing to make consultations to improve my portfolio
i’m happy there are lots of people doing so well…Love this channel for the transparency
I had to Google to be sure, he has a great resume
Want more videos on index fund and stocks
Can you do a video walking through how you keep track of all of your expenses, or if you don’t do that yourself anymore can you show us how you used to?
Thank you. Very explanatory. I am a beginner and this helps a lot. But there is one thing I would like to know. Can everyone across the globe invest or is it for some specific countries
Thanks Nate, awesome video as always! Can you consider doing a video specifically on how you analyze sector trends? That seems like a key component of successful portfolio management and would be really interesting to hear about your process.
New subscriber here, I’m 50 and don’t plan on retiring for another 5 years, my pension fund of 500k is fully invested in stocks, and the value of the fund has dropped 20% in the past 12 months. Would you advise switching some of the funds out of stocks into less risky assets, or should I sit tight and ride the storm for another year, given that I have another 5 years before retirement?
when the market goes down and the value of your portfolio decreases significantly, it’s tempting to ask yourself or your financial advisor (if you have one) “should I pull my money out of the stock market?” that’s understandable, but most likely not the best course of action.
That’s right, a bias for action can be your worst enemy in the stock market whereas, to avoid the hustle and bustle, I’m better off using an invt advisor, saves me time and earns me weekly to monthly income since the Rona-outbreak in 2019 till date. I’m about 15% short of reaching my first $1M, I may consider rtrmt.
Keep your eyes on the taxes! Depending on where the money is , they could take half! Invest in a company that makes personal lubricants, because a lot of people are gonna need em in a few years!
Very informative session Nate – Thank you.
I don’t have a high income, so it works for me. I make around 54K and am getting around 2K in investments per year. I am invested in a lot of non-dividend stocks, as well like genetics, renewables. You can still get very good growth over time.
thanku nate. i appreciate.
Thank you for all of the great information you give for us YouTube university students!
My wife and I were doing very well with the amount of money we had accumulated for retirement. Well over 80% of that money was made by buying high-end stocks at a deep discount during the 2008 Recession. In 2009, I fired the stockbroker, got rid of all mutual funds, and bought individual dividend stocks. Be patient, don’t be afraid and do your homework and you can make a lot of money
Apparently it took me 5 yrs to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 yrs of pain. Going in at the bull run doesn’t spell a good win
Long-term investors know that the market and economy will recover eventually, and investors should be positioned for such a rebound. Personally still going hard on this crazy market and I’m doing just fine. My portfolio currently up 143% right now. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out, adding more stocks at a time.
@Darius_halamadrid How did you achieve it? I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I’m looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up.
@Sara Potter The one effective technique I’m confident nobody admits to using, is staying in touch with an Investment-Adviser. Based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I’ve raised over $700k since 2017. Just bought my 3rd property for rental. Credit to Kimberly Jean Heavner.. my Investment-Adviser
Thanks for saving me hours of research, curiously copied and pasted Yvonne Annette Lively on my browser, and her site was top search, and very professional. great share!
Great video. Maybe you could do a quick video on ETF
I wasn’t financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.
That’s great, your investment advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financially stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
search him up on the internet with his name. he’s quite popular for his services as he was recently featured on
CNN. he can work with anyone irrespective of where you’re located.
I just Googled his name and his website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I’m going to book a call with him and let you know how it goes. Thanks
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. and I conducted thorough research on his credentials before scheduling a call with him. Based on his résumé, he appears to possess a high level of proficiency, and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak with him.
Thank you, I copied and pasted his name on web browser and sent a email waiting for reply..
My opinion for young people is you need to be both a dividend investor and a growth investor, basically how i made my first million also i use an FA James Fletcher Brennan. For example if I just got a 1000% gain on Tesla and then pulled 85% of the money out and went into a load of more stable dividend stocks like CVX So I would say diversify, but also use those growth opportunities to build the capital to invest in the dividend payers (or in cash flowing real estate)
i’ve just taken a deep dive into investing, dividend growth investment as it interests me. hoping to get to the big dogs someday.
I invest in stable stocks, my rule: if you previously liked the stock, then you should love it at a discounted price.
jotting all this down, I also read about James Fletcher Brennan online; he has a very impressive résumé.
I had to Google to be sure, he has a great resume
If people make over 100k then they should probably steer clear of dividend stocks interesting
Hi Nate great information like the way you explain the process question for you I’m 65 years old I make about 60, 000 a year I’ve never done any type of investments I don’t have a 401 I have about a hundred thousand saved in the bank I’ll retiring in about 2 years what would you advise me I can do thank you
Thank you Nate!
Made my first £200 k from buying ETFs and startup company’s Stocks over some months, I was able to generate good ROi monthly after tax most thanks that my portfolio is managed by one of the best fiduciary sir Arlo Eric and ever since it’s been a great source of income for short and long term
Wow, kudos to you, this really gave me sense of hope and a reason, I have little knowledge on stocks but look forward to investing for income, please connect me to your pro. I will be honored
Arloeric1@
This is a good opportunity for me to start my investment journey finally, is that his G mail above? Thanks
Yes, you can reach him through that
