We’ll begin by looking at the SP500, which is an index that tracks the top 500 publicity traded companies here in the United States…and this is weighted, overall, by the companies market value…so, the more valuable the company is, the more that company is going to influence the entire SP500.
Now this is really important to mention…because, out of 500 publicly traded companies…the 6 LARGEST ones make up about 25% of its ENTIRE VALUE…those companies are Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, and Microsoft – otherwise known as the acronym, FAANGM. Then, the other 494 companies make up the remaining 75% of the value.
https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500
Even more interesting, if we look at every company within the SP500 year to date…we can see that 395 of them have LOST VALUE…and the remaining 110 have seen a moderate gain since the beginning of the year. But, that gain is HEAVILY influenced by the largest tech companies that just so happen to be BOOMING right now.
https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500/performance
The FAANGM stocks have far outpaced and exceeded the growth of the rest of the market, by far…and, over time, they’re becoming increasingly more valuable.
That just means that – most likely – it could be the new “normal” that a few large companies lead the majority of the stock market, as they’re able to reach billions of people through the internet – and this type of growth is going to become more common as we become more and more centralized online and with technology.
For the majority of people out there – a simple broad market index fund is going to be the best option, long term. This means that – instead of going and buying specific stocks – you can invest in ALL OF THEM, at the same time, all in ONE FUND. The benefit to this is that, if a few don’t do so well…most likely, others companies will make up for it. Likewise, if a few do REALLY WELL…you’ll get to enjoy that benefit on a small scale, consistently. Over the long term, it was found that these index funds outperform even the most advanced hedge fund managers…
BUT – Do keep in mind – the REASON the overall stock market has risen so much, WAY more than we’d normally expect – is mainly due to a few specific Tech companies who are doing EXCEPTIONALLY well during the crisis. They are driving a LARGE portion of the market right now, and that’s why we’ve seen such a large resurgence in stock prices while many other companies are down.
Just look at Amazon hitting its ALL TIME HIGH as everything is shut down. Netflix also hit its all time high. So did Facebook. And the other top tech stocks aren’t far behind. So, keep that in mind the next time you invest in the SP500…

Interesting, I’d Investing at Stocks too. I catch the bottom, and make my stock’s price for my Investment average near low price.
I dunno if the price going much higher and higher now.
Just try analyze the index and stocks with some indicator Moving Average trendline, Stochastic and etc.
I know you’re say not timing the market, but I just wanna make any opportunity every up and down the market, and invest every month at the low price, so I’d start to try analyze that.
Just wanna give my opinion 😁✌
I never missed out watching your video, you’re give me a lot motivation and inspiration.
👋 Greeting from your subs from Indonesia🇮🇩
Graham: You pointed out the MAJOR MAJOR flaw with these index funds (ETFs). Nearly all of them rely on the FAT MANG (FANG-M) small group of tech stocks. If those six (seven) stocks do fall — hey, stranger things have happened —- they will drag down the rest of the ETF, whether it is an EFT of 500 stocks, 5,000 stocks, or more. I notice that so many ETFs are weighted in that way, where four or five stocks (usually consisting of those six stocks) are 30% – 50% of the entire ETF. Therefore, the idea that an ETF is diversified ……….. is actually a myth.
So what your saying here is i should actually buy calls instead of puts today ehhh

Graham Stephan, this video is both extremely deceitful and thouroughly irresponsible, and it saddens me to see you abuse your vast (and apparently trusting) follower base with total disregard for their savings and financial wellbeing.
While I could forgive the one about “STOP SAVING MONEY” – thinking you were giving people terrible financial advice but at least in good faith with regards to the overall economy and small business owners – I must condemn this one as it seems like a clear-cut scam aimed at negatively influencing people to your own devious advantage.
One needn’t look further than the video’s title and thumbnail – how (click-baity-ness aside) it appeals to common sense and what we are hearing from most other reliable sources, only to then tell people to invest not just in outperforming stocks (or short others) but in the market as a whole – to realize that you cannot possibly have posted this earnestly, without a conscious will to mislead viewers.
While you do explain the basic reasons that contribute to the market currently being so inflated – albeit IMHO downplaying the real magnitude of the effects of the Fed’s drastic measures and promises – you then disregard all of it along with any other common sense and make the striking gesture of investing a sum that for most seems huge, while being peanuts to you, with the clear goal of instilling misplaced confidence in the markets.
Your cautionary “disclaimers” about the importance of dollar cost averaging or the risks of the markets volatility are clearly not enough to offset the impact of your “grand gesture” of putting 50K$ down, which I’m sure you are aware of.
I’m truly disappointed because I really respected you before this video and I definitely can’t argue that you’ve done extremely well for YOURSELF, but I just hope that more are going to see through your recent bias and treachery and not risk their hard earned savings based on these reckless videos.
Have you heard about the tellus app? If so I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
Yah !!! Tool!!
Warren Buffett said that for the average investor- actually if you do research on Warren Buffett he is the biggest advocate of investing in individual stocks and that’s how he made his fortunes
shuuutttttupppp grahhhhammmm gooo gettt a reallll jobbbbb brrrroooo
If the fed just added a record amount to the supply of money, why would inflation wait for people to start spending?
I put my $1,200 into the stocks

As I learn more about trading, I’ve realized that Alec Payden’s methods combined with his knowledge has been the reason I’ve been able to earn, no doubt I’m going ahead with him and investing more.
If you think investing is gambling, you’re doing it wrong. The work involved requires planning and patience. However, the gains you see over time are indeed exciting!
How can a new investor get started?
Even when the economy was hit by recession, I stayed the course and when the market recovered,Alec made sure I benefited from such situations.
Adolph Abendroth Get in touch with Alec but I must tell you, it comes with a 25% commission for his services which is fair if you ask me. Considering the value you’re getting.
You know, the world of investing can be cold and hard. Most successful people you see didn’t make it in a day.
If Jerome Powell is a super hero, should he have a giant J, P or an M on his chest
And should the P stand for Powell, or printer
🤔🤔🤔🤔
These are very important considerations.
Money should be printed to fund research for this.
People can’t pay their bills but they give. Stimulus to stocks 😂
Is it just me or is there any other person making money from investments? Been a great year for me as I’ve been getting returns from my investments with *Mr A. Paton* he’s expertise is shown in his results, there are bad days but the good far exceeds any distractions.
Good to hear but how can a young investor get started with him? I would love for him to handle my trades and investments.
I’m very interested too, been hoping to come across a good recommendation. His number?
From my experience as an investor and trader, it can only get difficult when you are not in the right place of with the right person. An expert trader is best adviced for maximum results.
Hey look its some bots
I used your link to sign up for Webull and I only got 1 stock, not 2 (or 3 as you said in the video when I signed up).
The government said they will buy securities to prevent a large down market. The stock market may start to act like a bond market if the government keeps on buying securities.
Can someone answer me?
House price – $250,000
Downpayment – $50,000
Interest – 3.5% (Estimate)
30 years tenure – $ 900 per month
If I rent the same house
Rental – $700
Should I just rent? at least I can save the $200 differ
Who can help me with listing on exchanges?
That’s funny how you go just under your target amount, when I am the opposite. I’ll make sure to purchase 1 share above my target purchase amount. Once a month, I buy stock. Today I bought $561 of VYM because all I do is buy that plus SPY in a small bit of several shares. Hoping that locking away thismoney won’t hamper my chances of buying the new Cybertruck. Got a single motor because it costs the least of the options.
Great video you’ve got there!! I’ve been having difficulties developing trading strategies that work for me and also the time to trade is an issue because of my job but luckily my friend told me about Jane Norman’s copy trade service which has helped me greatly 👍 . Her strategies are very impressive

what world are these people in,the reality is the voltility is off the chart,don’t don’t don’t get in the market
Stock market is like a casino they let you win enough till your head swells then you go all in and lose it all, I will bet you most don’t have a stop loss on their account, if you had a business for sale but you were closed for the last 3 months how much would a smart buyer pay you for it ??
Nice edit at 0:42
FANG ATM…sucks you dry!
Shouldn’t I buy when the market is low. I mean it’s S&P 500, the top 500 companies of the stock market, once it is low it can only go up

A lot of Youtubers recently are talking about a crash is coming a crash is coming.
However every week the economy is opening back up more and more people are going back to work. The unemployment rate will still be reletively high compared to last year but like i said every week more people are going back to work. I think the “crash” happened in the last week of March. The youtubers that keep saying a crash is coming this year dont take into account that every week more people are going back to work, every week positive Vaccine news is coming, new stimulus bill is coming, and this is an election year so Trumps crazy ass will do everything he can to bring the economy up so he could get re elected next year.
I predict in 2 years when the virus is gone we will have a new normal where people wash their hands more often and have to vaccinate their kids for covid before going back to school. I also think in 10 years the poor class will get way bigger, middle class way smaller. Houses more expensive but millineals wont be afford them so there might be laws or acts to lower the house prices 10 -15 years from now.
How to invest in IndexFunds in Europe? Its not the same as ETF, isn’t it?
Have you seen the Andrew Jinks interview with the macroeconomic wall street guy? He said not to trust the market long term because it can crash. He gave examples of how Japan has been stagnant for decades. What are your thoughts about that?
It feels strange because I admire the man but I disagree with Warren Buffet quite a bit recently. I disagree with him about not adding individual stocks to your portfolio, I personally feel this is a must. By purchasing some individual stocks you will feel more of a personal connection to the assets in your portfolio and are therefore substantially more likely to continue making regular investments. It’s definitely good to ride the market with an index fund, especially if you don’t know where to invest, but it’s also good to spend time researching and intelligently investing in companies you believe in when they present opportunities for growth. This also allows you to use knowledge and judgement to weigh in when is a good time to buy an individual stock vs when is a good time to buy an index fund. Perhaps at 89 years old Buffet may be thinking that he might not have the time to see this one through but I also predict that airlines will make their comeback quicker than people think they will, especially if travel rates remain lower for a decent period of time. Time will tell but I think it’s possible that airline selloff at a huge loss may have been one of Buffet’s largest career missteps. Also, as he and Graham have both said in the past it is always a good time to enter the market if you’ve just been sitting on the sidelines this whole time. My work’s retirement account is managed by American Fidelity and all they do is invest it across a few different Vanguard funds, why we pay someone to do this for us I will never understand, I could just as easily do that myself and save even more money. Were it an option I’d far rather invest that money myself because I am always looking for the best deal I can get and I know for a fact that they will not make the same decisions that I would.
so the S&P is making its run right now primarily based on FANG. 4 companies driving the market. what do you think will happen when people get out of their cribs and start going back to a more normal life? human beings are a social animal and would not exist if they were hermits.
once the ability to move around comes back, Netflix will see a drop in price along with Facebook next year. he majority of their market if in the northern hemisphere. so if people stay away from one another all summer it is almost like winter lasted 12+ months (people watching and scrolling). i don’t suspect these companies to do well over time considering they weren’t that hot in January and February.
Amazon is for the lethargic (which is wired into humans as being lazy has led to survival since we broke off and created our own path). Jeff Bazos will ultimately become the ruler of the world, so Amazon is going to keep gaining value.
Google is so tech heavy that they won’t slow down either.
So basically, there are 4 companies inflating the market’s performance. going to be interesting to see what happens as fall rolls around
WOW! Until now cant realize I just made 588 bux with this excellent site here, *E a s y L a p t o p L i f e .c o m*
You bought so high man, I would have waited till the fall
I subscribed at Netflix

If I had 50,000 to invest I would invest in Amzn, Tesla, Google, Netflix, Apple

Graham, Are you still working at Oppenheim Group?
My partner got me to watch Selling Sunset yesterday, since she knows I’m an Architect.
Half way into the pilot episode I’m hmm there’s one guy who looks pretty familair, but then I got a clear visual and was like lol there’s Graham.
I wouldnt want to be investing my money into anything that is as rigged and manipulated as the stock market. S and P is coming into overbought on the rsi no thank you. Buy things that are cheap sell when things are expensive. Right now things are very very expensive.
The large cap stocks driving the S&P 500.. with 20 to 100 P/E ratios.. will collapse
Saw you at „selling sunset“ 😂😂😂
Bruh, The federal gov’t should cut spending, not raise taxes. Raising taxes will cause major corporations to leave this nation and reduce tax revenue.
Hey Graham, i love your videos, appreciate your advice and information, and would like to know if you can suggest the best stock market news apps or websites please. thanks in advance.
seriously… I definitely laughed when Graham said FAT MANG. I’m sold! take my money! 😂💵💸
Well done! Maybe if you could think before you coment with your mate meet Kevin and not insult your viewers, yes i’m one of those detail people who reads those, the comment you made i’m referring to is they will have no clue what your talking about huh insulting! AND he got me a toxic notice from ytube just bcos i pointed out i didn’t think it was a good idea the very day mcconnel midge announce to cuommo should we let America go bankcrupt to advise viewers to buy stock! I watched you with Ben Mallah he also says stock market biggest casino in the world and ontop of that just to point out on some other comments on your pals ytube people were saying i can’t afford to pay bills and feed my kids never mind by stock AND even Elon the owner of Tesla announced the stock in his opinion was over priced!
Why not have a reply like treating people with an opinion that differs to your own just have a debate please.
Dyers eve drum cover by Metallica plz. Thanx
Yeah put that money in jail lol.
Dude, what’s up with EVERY SINGLE THUMBNAIL being some mortified look on your face even when you have no bad news to convey?
Great video.
Btw I just noticed you were on an episode of Selling Sunset when the drama was going down 😂 Love that show
Ends the video. Withdraws the whole amount.
I’m scrolling past all of your thumbnails, and you pretty much make the same face for every thumbnail… could this help the youtube algorithm 🤔??
Who remembers Graham Stephamly? Idk if i spelt it right but that’s what I remember so #GrahamStephamly.
schism by tool yess!
I got you fam….. FAT MANG will legit be something I break down in my streams now! Hahahaha
Webull doesn’t have drip
so blessed I am now able go on vacation all because of this. simply Google without gaps *P a i d H o m e E a s y .c o m*
I’ve got a €10k portfolio that has stocks, cfds,energies and cryptos,it’s been winning, but I’ll keep putting to see where it goes,but I’m staying away from stocks whose PE is above 30.
Keep holding on to those picks and you’ll make a good load of money, those are good buys are this time.
I got in on ford and Microsoft, there are so many undervalued stocks right now in the market which makes is difficult to know what to choose.
imo,diversification is the theme of a profitable investment, and it’s more secured,i think It’s important to both a beginner and pro investor alike.
I do my investments with Fredrick too,he’s got a wide range of how to manoeuvre the Market. Trading from Mauritius.
Yes,there are many undervalued stocks,but some are best bought at discounts.
I like how these videos come from people who are like “ Oh, let me invest a small $50.” Where’s the broke millennials making stock videos?
If I get one of those $10k stimulus checks for our family of five I might put $5k into the market to try my luck
i have invested half of my savings into stocks. Should i sell them now and take my losses or just wait because i dont need the money now or in the coming 2 years?
Hey buddy, the Sun still shines! May those who seek find and those who find share. One love.
you should react to Mr Beast video of spending 1 Million dollars in 24 hours
Thanks Graham, lets here that Tool cover
lol. Pretty much what my parents are telling me but I guess I needed to hear it from you.
You never know what kind of setup market will present to you, your objective should be to find opportunity where risk reward ratio is best, be smart enough to take calculated risk 248BTC in my holding Gwen Emily is the smartest trader.
IBuying stocks when the broader overall market is trending up is a good idea, for long positions. The trend will provide a tailwind for the stock prices to move higher. I trade Bitcoin with the guidance of Gwen Emily for 3 years I’ve been able to get over 200BTC in my holding
GRAHAM, CAN DAD HAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS?
TOOL pls thank you very much
We heard you say sh** 😂 clever editing
What investment platform did you use to invest $50,000? Like E Trade or another platform?
Money printer go brrrr
#FATMANG
Look it’s not hard . It’s common sense … invest in oil company’s they can only go up and they are . Has anyone been paying attention ? CEQP ? PVAC ? HLX? Thank me later 🕺🏻🕺🕺🏿
thank you! for your videos!
Commenting “FAT MANG” To help the YouTube Algorithm know that FAT MANG is a thing… Lol. Hasthtag FAT MANG for the hashtag Algorithm #FATMANG 😂😂😂
Nice Bill O’Reilly ad. Wait, what?
WAIT a minute…He’s the tide guy. No elfin’ way I want ANYTHING from THAT one.
Because he invested it on a video does that qualify it as a business tax write-off?
So the entire point of the $1200 was to give money to the little guys, and the little guys immediately bought *FAT* *MANG* . We really cant help ourselves.
Hell on the schism
“Another stock trading app”.. You mean Robinhood 🙂
Misleading title 🤦 one dislike
Stephan can you talk about the National Debt for investors
HEY, BUDDY THANK YOU FOR YOUR DUJILLYDENT NO NOT DIVIDENTS SILLY …LOL NO BUT I HAVE FINALLY GAVE MY HARD WORKING HARD BUDGETING SMALL INCOME TOWARDS THE SM AND JUST FEEL WEIRD AFTER EVEN KNOWW I BELIEVE LONG TERM AND I COULD lose EVERYTHING BUT SEE HOW YOU JUST MADE THAT PURCHASE HOW IF SAY ANOTHER TWIN TOWERS WERE TO RUIN US HOW WOULD U BE ABLE TO PROTECT THAT INVESTMENT WITHOUT SAY A DEED OR A WRITING DOCUMENT PLEASE NOTE YOUR MY TEACHER AND HAVENT TAUGHT YET SO EASY ON THE NAME CALLEN IM JUST A BABY THAT’S OLDER THAN U HAHA
The stock market doesn’t represent (never has) my financial health. I cringe when anyone uses the stock market as a tool to established how well the economy is doing for the entire nation. Your cleared the reason why, which is why I liked the video. Whipping 50k out to invest these days is amusing and impressive to me, even $500 would be hard to do. Good insight though.
Graham cover some Moby Dick with john bonhams 20 min drum solo!
if you are looking for short term gains don’t invest in the stock market its highly speculative and unpredictable. even long term predictions can be volatile at best since many companies could get into bad shape if there to be a 5 year recession which could very well be looming on the horizon.
Not gonna lie, as someone who’s immersed in cryptocurrency and made a 400 percent gain on a single trade this week, seeing these stocks go up even 30 percent seems cute at best.
Thanks rich dad 😊 very informative like usual. Long term investing >>
I count my self to be successful in stock trading with the help of my broker, Sir Francis Martins, His a genius ..
I always see good reviews of Mr Francis, How can i reach him ?
The cornerstone for success in stock trading is usually the broker. When it comes to stock trading I can confidently say Mr Francis Martins is good..
@Henderson Waters <>
Not a regular cookie cutter trader, Francis is a certified financial analyst with well over 15 years of experience in this industry where he is highly regarded”
Well the most amazing part of it all is that Mr Francis is consistent in making huge based on his strategy.
The moment people start saying we shouldn’t trust the market. The moment i should double down on my investment.
Thanks for the confirmation. 😁
It must be Dave, who’s on the train
Excellent Video, But i count myself to be very successful in stock because of the amazing trading strategy of Mr Ernest Vincent Tradings platform..he made me my first millions
I trade with this broker too!…His consistency in making huge profits is amazing
Any idea how i can reach him?
I started trading with him when i was in Canada,with him as my broker i was able to clear my debt….that man is a genius.
@Tyler Rodrigo Santos Here”s his mail
