The SP500 can be your ticket to financial freedom
Let me explain:
•The SP500 is an index is made up of 500 of the leading companies in America
The index dates back to 1957 and is considered a benchmark for the US stock market
•When you invest in the SP500 you get exposure to some of the biggest companies in the world
Such as
$AAPL 7.00%
$MSFT 6.53%
$AMZN 3.21%
$NVDA 2.99%
$GOOGL 2.16%
$TSLA 1.92%
$META 1.86%
$GOOG 1.85%
$BRK.B 1.78%
$XOM 1.31%
•The SP500 is a market cap weighted index. This means that the bigger companies will rise to the top and have a higher weighting in the index
•The SP500 has a historic return of right around 10%
This means that on average your money will double in the SP500 every 7 years
•This chart shows the average return per year of the SP500
There is more green than red but plenty of volatility in the long run
•If you invested $10,000 on October 24th, 2003
You would have
$59,009 with dividends reinvested
$48,109 without dividends reinvested
•During the 2020 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder's meeting, Warren Buffett claimed that "for most people, the best thing to do is to own the S&P 500 index fund."
•How to invest in the SP500
2 of the most popular ETFs that track the SP500 are:
$VOO
$SPY
You can purchase shares in these ETFs on platforms such as Fidelidy, Vanguard, M1 finance, TD Ameritrade
•Remember
Time in the market is more important than timing the market.
I don’t know where the SP500 heads from here but I am not betting against many years of historical returns
