- How's is goin' today, guys?
So today we're going to be talking about
how to double your money.
Now I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
For those of your who think this title sounds familiar,
It's because I already did this video.
But this was when I was
kind of experimenting with my channel,
and as a creator it's tough
because you're trying to deliver the information
in the best way possible.
So I had made the mistake of just doing a vlog type video
where I kind of recited what I was going to say
and just recorded the information that way
because in my mind I was like well, this must be better
because it's less filler material
and more of the actual facts.
And despite the fact that it was getting a lot of views,
I just was bothered by it because I'm like you know what?
This isn't my style.
This isn't why I started YouTube.
I didn't start a YouTube channel to read off a script.
And I really appreciate you guys
for calling me out on that,
because you guys did not hesitate to tell me
that I was really, really screwin' up.
And I will never go back to doing that again,
so don't worry about that.
But because I kind of wanted to start over here,
I decided to just redo this video.
So for those of you who have seen it already,
I apologize about the repetition,
but just for my own reasons I wanted to redo it
because I just wasn't happy with that video.
And after watching it a couple times I'm like,
you know what?
This is not interesting.
This is just boring.
At that point you might as well just read an article.
What's the point of watching a video
if someone's just gonna basically read information to you?
So time for a redo of this video.
I appreciate those of you
who are watching it for a second time.
Maybe you'll grab something else out of it.
But how to double your money.
There's basically four ways
people do this through investing.
And there may be some variations of these ways
that may not fall under these exact categories,
but they're close enough,
so I'm breaking it down into four different common ways
people do this.
I'm gonna tell you basically how much time it takes
relatively to do these things and these are all basically
it takes a different amount of time
based on how much risk you're comfortable with.
So number one is compound interest plus time.
So basically this is when you invest
in long term investments that compound over time.
So this is when your interest earns you more interest.
I know I've done a lot of videos
about compound interest lately.
So you probably have heard this
if you've been watching videos on my channel.
But basically I'm just gonna go through one quick example
which is blue chip dividend stocks.
For those of you who don't know,
blue chip stocks are basically the stocks
of the well established companies.
Basically the titans of the industry.
They're usually the top three of their industries.
So they are companies that have been around
for a very long time
and they are their leaders of their actual industries.
So as a result these stocks are relatively low risk,
so they don't have much movement.
So basically what they do is they pay dividends
as a way to reward shareholders and keep them around.
So this is a regular quarterly cash payment
that they pay out.
And one way to take advantage of compound interest
is to take those dividends and reinvest it
back in stock of that company.
So that way those dividends that you earned
will earn you more dividends in the future.
Also known as interest on interest, basically.
You're earning dividends from dividends.
So this is one of the very common ways people take advantage
of compound interest.
So basically a common way or a common investing strategy
is to invest in blue chip stocks
as well as investment grade bonds.
Basically blue chip stocks are a little riskier than bonds
so you're kind of, you know, diversifying a little bit
to kind of mitigate some of that risk out of there.
But you could absolutely,
if you're a young person especially,
go all in on blue chip stocks.
That's not a bad strategy either.
But let's talk about this 50/50 strategy.
It's a very common strategy people recommend.
So basically on the last 100 years on average
blue chip stocks have paid out 10%
And on average investment grade bonds have paid out 6%.
Now guys remember this is based on 100 years
of smoothing of that data.
So I'm not telling you that you're gonna see
a 10% return over the next 10 years and a 6% return
over the next 10 years,
this is based on 100 years of data.
So there were a lot of times when we were seeing
more than 10% or a lot less than 10%.
Or more than six or a lot less than six.
But understand that if you're investing very long term
that might be a figure you can rely on.
But in the short term, even 10 or 20 years,
this figure may be out of whack.
But I'm going on 100 years of data.
So I wanted to explain that to you guys.
But based on this if you have a 50/50 split
of blue chip stocks and investment grade bonds
you would have roughly an 8% return on your investment.
And if you have an 8% return
you would double your money every nine years.
So if you follow this strategy of investing in basically
blue chip stocks and investment grade bonds
you could foreseeably double your money every nine years
if that trend continues and we're seeing
roughly those returns over the next nine years.
But this is looking at basically a larger amount of time.
So we would be more likely to see you doubling your money
every nine years if you look at it
over many, many decades, basically.
So number two is the Warren Buffett investing strategy.
This is a great strategy as well, guys.
This is basically following the concept of being greedy
when others are fearful.
Anyone who's heard of Warren Buffett
has definitely heard of that quote of his before.
Basically be fearful when others are greedy.
Be greedy when others are fearful.
Essentially you don't want to follow the market.
You want to do the exact opposite
of what everyone else is doing.
So basically you want to invest
at the maximum point of pessimism
or basically invest during a bear market
when prices are scraping the bottom
and everyone's selling and everyone is panicking,
you want to be greedy
when everyone else is being fearful and selling.
So while the price of a stock falls,
the value of the actual stock does not.
Basically, price is a factor
of the supply and demand of that stock
and when we're in a bear market,
everyone and their brother is selling those stocks
and that pushes pretty much all of the stocks down in value.
While the actual value of those stocks
or the value that piece of ownership of that company
does not change.
So when you recognize that we're in a time
when the actual value is out of whack with the price,
that's a great time to buy
and there are fantastic opportunities
to double your money when stocks go on sale
in a bear market.
So bear markets provide easy opportunities
for investors to double their money.
And I just want to provide you guys
with one example here, okay?
Now this is basically if you timed the market perfectly
which is absolutely impossible to do.
So I'm not telling you guys that you would have the ability
to know exactly when the market was gonna bottom out,
but if you bought at a time when the market was low,
we're looking at the S&P 500 Index.
It bottomed out on March ninth of 2009 closing at 676.53,
and basically a little over two years later,
basically two years and one month later,
the S&P 500 Index was at 1363.61,
or a 102% return on your money in two years.
So somebody who invested in a bear market
at the maximum point of pessimism
when everyone was selling, when everyone was panicking.
If you buy at that point you could double your money
in a much shorter amount of time than you would
basically buying during, basically just buying
across different time periods.
The best way to do strategy number one
is basically setting aside a certain amount of money
and buying each month, that way you're taking advantage
of dollar cost averaging.
That way you're basically lowering the average
price paid per share because you're buying it high,
buying it in the middle and buying it low.
I wouldn't recommend a lump sum investment
because you might actually buy high
and that could lower your returns.
But anyway I just wanted to throw that in there.
The only thing I'm going to say about that though
is that you don't want to try to time the market
and wait for a bear market, because you could miss
many, many years of good returns from a bull market.
So honestly your best strategy is to just consistently
invest a little bit of money over time.
But I just wanted to point that that out
as a great way you can double your money
is by investing heavily in stocks during a bear market.
The other thing you can do
if you're somebody who's investing in that 50/50 strategy
if you feel that stocks are significantly undervalued,
you could basically balance out your portfolio
and go 75% stocks, 25% bonds.
So sell some of your bonds that have held their value
and buy some of the stocks that are under-valued
at that point, but take advantage
when those stocks return to normal values.
So number three is gambling with speculative bets.
This is the way a lot of people try to double their money.
Some people are successful at it, a lot of people are not.
Many who are looking to double their money fast
are actually speculators and not investors.
And what I mean by that is that
you are making high risk bets with high returns possible.
As a speculator
you're not investing on the value of a company.
You're basically investing on a hunch
or you feel that this will go up in value significantly
in the future.
The best way to explain this is
you're investing based on what you think will happen,
not what is happening right now.
So that is why when you look at
something like the The Intelligent Investor, he totally,
Benjamin Graham totally separates
speculators from investors,
because they're totally different breeds of people.
So most of us, including myself, are investors,
but some people have that desire to gamble in them
and they want those high-risk bets
where they're gonna hopefully see high returns
so they make speculative bets.
Here's a couple examples of these.
This would be people who speculate by buying penny stocks.
People who are day trading.
Now notice they're not day investing,
they're day trading.
So they're basically trading those price swings
of very volatile penny stocks in most cases.
Leveraged ETFs, for example they may have a leveraged ETF
where if the S&P 500 Index goes up 10%,
this ETF will go up 50%
So in a five to one ratio.
There's also inverse ETFs where basically
they'll do the opposite
of the underlying index it's tracking.
So if the S&P 500 Index went down 10%
this leveraged inverse ETF would go up 50%.
So while there's double upside potential,
or even more in some cases,
there's also double downside potential at that point.
Another example of this is very similar, margin trading.
This is when you're buying stocks on margin.
So your broker loans you money
and you pay interest on that money.
And you basically are buying stocks
with borrowed money at that point.
And there's also betting on earning.
So if you believe that a company's going to
beat earnings expectations, you pile in on that stock
before they release earnings
and hopefully you're right about that.
It's a speculation.
Hopefully you're right about that
and you make some money doing that.
A perfect example of this guys,
if you watch Jeremy from Financial Education,
he talks about how this is something he used to do,
betting on earnings reports and he lost his shirt doing it.
So a lot of people learn a valuable lesson
when they're making speculative bets.
The biggest problem I have with this is,
are you gonna be right every time?
So maybe you're right once or twice.
Maybe you pick a couple good penny stocks.
Maybe you bet on earnings and you're right a couple times.
Are you gonna be right every single time?
Because that's not a strategy you can rely on
unless you're gonna be right most of the time.
And that's usually where people run into trouble.
Or maybe these strategies work in a bull market
that we're seeing right now,
but once we're in a bear market,
a lot of these strategies are not going to work.
What it comes down to is
speculation is great when you are right
but when you are wrong you are usually wrong big.
You can lose the money just as fast as you make it
with speculative bets.
So that's basically one way
that people double their money very quickly.
You could see someone you know buy penny stocks
and see it triple in value in one day.
So maybe they triple their money in the course of one day.
But you could also see that person invest all of their money
in a penny stock, and the next thing you know
the company goes bankrupt.
So that's one way people do it.
I don't recommend it.
And I don't do it, but I just wanted to talk about it here
as a way people double their money with investing.
Number four the final way is playing it safe.
This is the safest possible way to double your money and
this is investing solely in high quality bonds.
Now I don't necessarily recommend this
because a lot of us, especially young people,
we have the time and we also have the stomach
to handle some volatility.
So you see better returns when investing in stocks
in general over the long term,
but if you're looking for a super conservative investment
and you want to investment in the highest quality of bonds
then you would probably look at US Treasury bonds
because these are as safe as they come.
So basically if you invest in
a Series double E US Treasury bond,
it will double in value after 20 years.
So every 20 years your investments
in series double E bonds would double in value.
That's a very long time
and frankly I think most of us can do better.
But just another way people frequently double their money
is through investing in bonds.

people double their money through investing.
