These 3 ETFs Built More Millionaires Than Any Other Investment
"When you try to wait for the perfect opportunity, you end up missing the opportunity."
Most investors try to find the next Amazon, and most lose money doing it. ETFs solve this by bundling hundreds of companies together, removing the need to pick winners. Three specific ETFs (VOO, SCHD, and QQQ) have created more millionaire investors than virtually any individual stock, and this episode explains exactly why.
Jaspreet Singh walks through each ETF, what it invests in, and the logic behind it, then closes with a decade of real market examples showing why the ABB strategy (Always Be Buying) is what separates investors who build wealth from those who watch from the sidelines.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Warren Buffett's $1 million bet: the S&P 500 returned approximately 7.1% annually over 10 years after fees versus 2.2% for an expensive hedge fund, proving most people can beat professional money managers by simply owning an index
Why the S&P 500 is self-cleaning: when a company like Sears fell out of the 500 largest companies, it was automatically replaced, only about 50 of the original companies from the mid-1950s remain in the index today
How VOO gives broad exposure to the 500 largest U.S. companies, no stock picking, no active management, and automatic replacement when companies stop qualifying
How SCHD invests in approximately 100 strong dividend-paying companies including Chevron, Coca-Cola, Verizon, and Procter & Gamble with a minimum requirement of 10 consecutive years of dividend payments to qualify
Why chasing the highest dividend yield is a mistake: a high dividend from a weak company can be cut, taking both the income and the stock price down with it, the goal is finding companies growing both profits and dividends over time
How QQQ gives exposure to the NASDAQ 100 (the 100 largest non-financial companies, primarily tech) averaging approximately 20% annual returns over the last decade, but falling more than 75% during the dot-com bust between 2000 and 2002
How the 2020 crash, the 2022 correction, and the 2025 tariff-driven selloffs all followed the same pattern: markets dropped, panic set in, and then broke new record highs shortly after making each downturn a buying opportunity in hindsight
How to implement ABB automatically: set up weekly or biweekly transfers from a checking account into a portfolio of ETFs so investing happens regardless of market conditions, news cycle, or who is in the White House
