Hey everyone,

I'm Nolan Gouveia. Most people know me as Professor G from Investing Simplified on YouTube, where 450K+ investors learn long-term investing with me. I also teach finance at the university level.

This is my X account and everything here will be long-term investing: portfolios, ETFs, dividends, investing psychology and more.

This is my only account on X. I will never DM you first about an "investment opportunity." That's always a scam.

Just education, not financial advice. Let's get to work!

P.S. I have something big launching in a few days. So make sure to stick around!

Since 1960, 85% of the S&P 500's total return came from one boring thing: reinvested dividends and compounding. Not the price chart everyone stares at.

That's according to Hartford Funds, going all the way back to 1960.

Here's why it works. Price gains are the loud half of your return. Dividends are the quiet half. Reinvest them and they buy more shares, those shares pay more dividends, and that buys even more shares. The snowball feeds itself.

A flat year on the chart can still be a good year in your account.

The exciting part of investing gets the attention. The boring part gets the results.

Here's the video from IPO day: https://t.co/dzAbe1M6VU

One month ago, SpaceX pulled off the biggest IPO in history. A record $86 billion raised. Up over 60% in its first week.

Yesterday it dipped below its IPO price for the first time.

The day it listed, I posted a video telling my viewers not to buy the hype. Not because I can predict prices. Nobody can. But when everyone agrees a stock can only go up, that optimism is already in the price. At that point the excitement isn't an edge, it's a hidden cost.

You never need to be first through the door to build wealth.

If you feel behind on investing, you're not alone. It's the most common starting point there is.

You don't need to be 22, and you don't need to be rich. You need a plan you can stick with: buy quality things you understand, keep buying them, give it time.

Boring is beautiful!

June inflation came in at 3.5% this morning. Forecasters expected 3.8%. Last month it was 4.2%.

The people whose whole job is predicting this number missed it again. That's not a knock on them. It's just how markets work.

That's why your plan shouldn't depend on guessing right. Buy quality, keep buying, and let time do the work.

Education, not financial advice.
