The Intelligent Investor’s Road to $1,000,000

At the age of 43, Tom retired from his 9-5 at Ford Motor through a combined effort of savings and stock market investments, although, on the day when he graduated college, he didn't have a penny to his name.
Tom reached $1,000,000 and quit his 9-5 to live off his investments before his 44th birthday. More than half of that money came from returns in the stock market, and his investments helped him reach this number 14 years earlier than his salary alone would have done. With this type of money Tom was confident that his stock market returns could cover his yearly expenses.
This is the story of Tom’s accomplishment.

My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process – upgrading your money-making toolbox.

It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

What is the best strategy to succeed in the market now for someone with more or less than $20k
-
The Swedish Investor doesn't disappoint. It was stupid of me to sell $76,000 worth of NVDA stocks without reinvesting. I might turn to cash soon if I don't. Any particulars? (Buying bonds or CDs is not for me).

So Tom studied the markets in his spare time, and started beating the market by 4% a year every year... then he studied aerodynamics, grew wings and flew away. Started giving air taxi rides on his back for extra $100k a year.

Great video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?

So Tom, a mechanical engineer studied some books and consistently beat the market by a few percent (4%) each year. While most professional fund managers aren't able to beat the market long-term. I feel suggesting everyone to read a few books and do stock picking will turn many folks who listen into Stevens.
-
Was a reasonable video up to the "beating the market by 4%" part, which is absolutely ridiculous

This video breaks my heart in a way. My sister worked her way to the top in her career, literally her ass off. Dollar cost averaged her cash since she was 20; got to her $1,000,000 mark at 37 and got into a car wreck and passed away. She never got to enjoy it. I hope my brother in law uses it wisely and appreciates the hustle, grind and discipline that it took. She taught me a lot!

All these stories always begin at the age of 20something and with a job that pays insanely good salary. They are inspirational, I agree, but I would also like to see how a 30 or 40 year old could manage with a lower salary :) obviously not as great, but it would bring some realism to these videos.

Excellent! Im 23 years old and i already started the journey of Tom 6 months ago

Finally, I understand what 'paying yourself first' really means. It means the opposite of paying somebody else (new car, expensive vacation, new Apple phone). You also need to carefully plan how much are you going to pay yourself. And then you would treat yourself as a business, just like Ford, property owners, and Apple Inc. Basically, trying to manage your money and learn to manage your money. Or call it "Pay to your fund first" before making frivolous purchases. Or at least match each luxury purchase with investing in your fund. And if you can't afford to make a luxury purchase and simultaneously make a matching investment, then skip the purchase until you can make a matching investment to your purchase! Thank you, Swedish Investor your visual presentation clicked with me!

20:00 is where this goes from a parable to a fantasy “Tom was able to beat the market by 4% each year by picking stocks”.

So Tom is 43 today and became a learning machine at the age of 23 by listening to his favourite podcasts and youtubers. Man was really ahead of his time back in 2002 then

This video is more inspirational than actual “inspirational” videos for me. Such a simple message, preaching something nearly anybody is able to do to achieve extraordinary results.
-
This was both entertaining and informative. Congrats!

I've watched this video over 20 times...I love it! These animations help me understand much better. Keep up the great work!
