10x Your Money Passively With This Very Simple ETF Strategy

With this strategy, you can beat 95% of professional investors by spending only 15 minutes per month.

People tend to overcomplicate stock market investing, and Wall Street takes advantage of that.

“You are not smart enough to invest your money. Give it to us, and we will take care of it.”

The problem is that it’s all a huge fat lie.

80% of the professional fund managers underperform the S&P 500. Yes, although they are paid millions in fees, most won’t return more than a simple index fund.

This strategy is very simple, and I will show you the best ETFs to put you on the right path to riches.

Some of these ETFs can multiply your investments many times over the next few years…

… and it’s all passively managed! 🤯

Here’s how the strategy of investing in these ETFs would have returned over the last 10 years:

🔑 Simple Keys to Passively Beat the Market

Making money with the stock market is surprisingly simple, and it can be so simple that you only need to spend 15 minutes a month.

Yes, let me repeat: You only need 15 minutes per month to outperform the majority of professional fund managers.

There are a couple of very simple principles to pay attention to:

• Buy ETFs as a way of diversifying your portfolio. I will give you a list of good ETFs later in the article.
• Add to your investments regularly and keep some cash on the side to buy more if the market drops — which are good opportunities to buy.
• Invest in the long term (ideally ten years or more). This allows the compounding effect to kick in.

If you follow these principles, it’s statistically very likely that your investments will perform well and beat most Wall Street professionals.

If it sounds too simple, it’s because it is — As said, people tend to complicate the world of investing too much.

ETFs will make your life way simpler and return great profits!

😵‍💫 I’m Puzzled! What’s an ETF?

No worries, let me explain.

Exchange Traded Funds — ETFs — are investment funds that are traded in the stock market; they are basically baskets of stocks, and each ETF contains dozens or even hundreds of different stocks.

I like to divide ETFs into three types:

• Actively managed: The ETF actively buys/sells stocks, trying to increase its performance and give investors more exposure to a certain sector, e.g., ARKK — ARK Innovation ETF.
• Passively managed: The ETF replicates the stocks of an index, e.g., the SPDR S&P 500 ETF replicates the S&P 500 index (index of the 500 biggest American companies), and Invesco QQQ replicates the NASDAQ index (index with the 100 biggest tech companies).
• Leveraged: The ETF aims to exceed the return of the index by giving you 2x or 3x exposure to the index, e.g., ProShares Ultra S&P500 SSO returns 2x the S&P 500 and TQQQ returns 3x the Nasdaq index.

You can buy these ETFs from any broker: Interactive Brokers, eToro, E-trade, Fidelity, Schwab, TD Ameritrade, Sofi, Robinhood, WeBull, etc., to name a few.

A mix of these different types of ETFs is ideal for passively building wealth and perhaps funding your retirement.

🏆 My Winning ETF Strategy

Approximately 1/3 of my portfolio is invested in ETFs. I also have individual stocks, crypto and venture investing.

But you can have up to 100% of your wealth in ETFs — all because the ETFs I will show you are already very diversified by investing in hundreds of global businesses.

💁🏻‍♂️ My Ideal ETF Portfolio

Here, I’m sharing my top picks for ETFs.

With these ETFs, you will have a great risk/reward ratio, and you will not need to spend more than 15 minutes every month managing your investments.

Additionally, if you hold them in the long term, there’s a very high likelihood that you will outperform most Wall Street professionals.

I’ve organized the list below from the least volatile to the most volatile.

• VTI — Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF This is a long name to say that this ETF invests in the total stock market. With this ETF, you own a little piece of approximately 3,750 companies.
• SPDR SPY — S&P 500 ETF Tracks the S&P 500 index by investing in the 500 biggest US companies.
• CSPX — iShares Core S&P 500 ETF Also tracks the S&P 500, but the main difference is that it doesn’t pay dividends. It reinvests dividends, allowing them to compound better over time.
• ARKK, ARKF, and ARKW — Ark Invest ETFs These are actively managed thematic ETFs that invest in technology, fintech, and the internet.
• SSO — ProShares Ultra S&P500 It’s a leveraged ETF that returns 2x the S&P 500. E.g., if the S&P 500 goes up 1% in a day, this ETF goes up 2%.
• TQQQ — ProShares UltraPro QQQ Also a leveraged ETF that returns 3x the Nasdaq 100 index, i.e. if the Nasdaq index gains 1%, you get 3%.
• FNGU — MicroSectors FANG Index This 3x leveraged ETF invests in companies like META, Tesla, NVIDIA, Netflix, and Apple.

As you can see, if you own some of these ETFs, you will have a very good level of diversification as you will own thousands of different companies.

You'd have mindblowing results if you invested in these ETFs 10 years ago.

10-year returns for my selected ETFs:

• TQQQ: 2,226%
• FNGU (started in 2018): 450%
• SSO: 443%
• CSPX: 215%
• SPY: 171%
• VTI: 155%
• ARKK: 149%

As you can see, investing in any of these ETFs 10 years ago would have returned pretty good results. Of course, past performance does not guarantee future returns, but this exemplifies the potential of passively investing in ETFs!

The ETFs listed performed well over 10 years despite the 2020 stock market crash and the 2022 market decline. Pretty incredible, isn’t it?

💁🏻‍♂️My very simple “15-minute a month” successful investment strategy

• Buy the selected ETFs;
• Hold them for 10 years or more;
• Add to your investments and keep some cash on the side to buy more, in case the market drops.

You can add to your investments every time you have extra cash available, ideally every month when you receive the salary.

If you rebalance your ETFs, you can further increase the profitability and lower the risk. Read more about rebalancing here:

🤔 Wait! You mentioned some leveraged ETFs! Are you saying that leverage ETFs can also be used for long-term investing? That’s outrageous!

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

If you plan to hold them in the long term, leveraged ETFs are a great way to diversify, increase the profitability and decrease the risk of your portfolio.

Still not sure about it? No worries, I have backed this up with the numbers in this article that was just published:

💰 Conclusion

Sometimes, the best things in life are simple, which is also true for investing. You always see Wall Street managers talking about complex topics, but beating Wall Street can be really simple.

This is the secret that they don’t want you to know: Investing is easy!

You don’t need to invest in structured products, futures, options, trading bots, quant trading and super complex strategies.
