The "2 Tech 2 Index" Strategy Explained & How to Navigate Market Crashes

Welcome to Market Mondays! In this special clip, Ian Dunlap joins hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal for a deep dive into successful, long-term investing—specifically Ian’s “2Tech2 Index” approach. If you’re seeking clarity on building wealth through investing, this is the discussion you can’t afford to miss. *What’s the “2Tech2 Index” Strategy?* Ian breaks down his simple yet powerful philosophy: You only need four essential companies or assets to achieve financial success. The formula? Anchor your portfolio with two trusted index funds (VOO and VTI) and complement them with two technology giants (Microsoft and Apple). This blend aims to capture broad market growth while focusing on proven tech leaders—making investing easy, straightforward, and effective for anyone. *Crash-Proof Investing & Market Timing Myths* Are you one of the many waiting for a massive market crash to “buy the dip”? Ian has a wake-up call: Most investors won’t have the nerve (or timing) to jump in at rock-bottom prices. Instead of holding cash on the sidelines, Ian insists that regularly investing—especially in companies with strong fundamentals like Nvidia, Microsoft, and others—will serve you much better over time. Historically, some companies actually “melt up” in value while broader markets decline, providing rare opportunities for focused investors. *Investing for Decades, Not Days* Ian, Troy, and Rashad stress that any investment strategy should be solid enough to last for 30 years, not just a year or two. Chasing trends or making frequent strategy changes typically leads to worse outcomes. The bond market may have worked in the past, but today’s environment favors equities—especially dominant US tech firms. *Themes Covered in This Clip:* Why you only need four assets to build lasting wealth The critical role of index funds and top tech stocks Market drops, crashes, and why timing them is nearly impossible The US/China tech war and how it impacts markets The importance of sticking to a consistent investment strategy Whether you’re a new investor or an experienced market participant, this conversation provides actionable insights into portfolio construction and the mindset needed for long-term financial growth.
