“buffered strategies, which again we'll talk about shortly, have kind of rules up front to say over the next 12 months, this is your floor, this is your cap.”

For the average investor, holding a broad-based index fund like VTI is a highly effective, low-effort strategy for long-term wealth accumulation.

“I feel 100 safe putting 100 of my money into vti or vo letting it ride never having to worry about looking at the market you know just keep putting money in every single week every single month”

Broad-based ETFs provide sufficient diversification for most investors, making complex portfolios with many different funds unnecessary.

“I think like what Ryan said like you're very Diversified in two or three ETFs that's the whole point of the ETFs and that's why it's so easy to invest in ETFs”

Crypto industry ETFs offer a way to gain exposure to the crypto ecosystem by investing in a basket of related companies rather than a single stock.

“With a crypto industry ETF, you can access and invest in multiple crypto industry-related stocks through one ETF. So more potential diversification.”
