Not sure if you meant that to sound condescending or not, but it was a request for people who are knowledgeable or have specific investments they have made to share their knowledgeable and opinions. Yes, a YouTube video is not sufficient to make an informed investment. But it has made be bullish in the sector which is why I would like to have some of my "long shot" money involved. Another example would be self driving automotive technology. It's a specific sector that has potential to grow immensely. If you are bullish on self driving technology as a growth industry, you could invest in companies that are involved in it like TSLA or GOOG, etfs that commit to the sector, like DRIV or moonshots that may make a dent like LIDR. Being bullish on the sector is the starting point. Now I would like to delve deeper so I was hoping to start a discussion with like minded investors.
Waymo is a subsidiary of Google. And there is nothing wrong with buying some GOOG and sitting on it for a decade. There are some ETF's that focus on autonomous driving like DRIV & EVAV. But their performance over the past year has not been great. There are some general tech and growth ETF's like VGT and QQQ that try to include the top tech or growth companies.
Buy AIQ, SMH, BOTZ, DRIV, IWY Thank me Later SWAG GOD 2044
Has anyone considered purchasing AV/EV sector ETFs (i.e. DRIV) to anticipate the potential imminent deployment of AVs in 2050 and EVs being a normal fixture in 2035. Hold it very long to anticipate the deployment of these transformative transportation technologies to assist in reducing zero death/vision zero traffic fatality per the USDOT and States DOT safety initiatives. Too bet on the future and hold it long. I purchased 1 lot of Ford, GM, ChargePoint, and Luminar Technology stocks via my brokerage account a few weeks ago. Bought it on the dipped and being hopeful/gambling that it will become fruition in 2035 for EVs and AVs full-scale deployment in 2050.
So I have made some stock purchases as part of my portfolio before i went "all in" on VTI/VXUS to simplify things. I do have some losers in my portfolio and would like advice whether I should cut bait or hold? If I cut bait the money freed would be used to buy VTI/VXUS. LIT: -45% bought at $91. WCLD: -38% bought at $55 DOCU: -58% bought at $143 (shouldn't have listened to my friend "everyone uses digital signatures now") DRIV: -20% bought at $30 BOTZ: -26% bought at $38 Also side note, is COIN good to get into right now with the digital decisions going on? I do have 7k coming in jan 1st for my IRA or just go more tried and true index funds? Thanks

My short term holding of DRIV ETF stinks.
DRIV offers a mix a companies in EV technology. It hasn't really increased as you would expect honestly but would allow you to pickup a bunch of companies in that space. Check out the holdings.
Not if your shorting. Sell AMC pre-market then turn around & short it. Dump the EVs & buy IDRV or DRIV ETFs instead. All these companies lose money so at least your theme is consistent. SOFI is a coin flip but im short it above $9. Id rather have EGLX than FAZE as far as a gaming spec. AQST actually looks interesting. Listen to their last earnings call & see how it sounds. TUP (Tupperware) is a smarter penny stock to play with.
If you're into EVs you could check out the DRIV ETF. Not only does it have holdings EV companies, but also the underlying technologies and infrastructure, and also includes Autonomous driving as well.
DRIV & BOTZ are good ETFs. I also invested in [this Robotics & Automation Advancements thematic portfolio](https://app.surmount.ai/marketplace/strategy/02a50de3-017e-43e8-a6f6-c4c2d0ea760c/detail) and am up big in the past month (mostly because of NVDA, but overall solid)
There are ETFs that focus on AVs & EVs. Check out (DRIV) when you get a chance.
Bro, just buy $DRIV. Autonomous vehicles ETF. Top 10 holdings are basically the 4 you listed and then some.
I tend to stick with what I know. Current holds/accumulation targets on my list are: $WRAP - Wrap Technologies, maker of the BolaWrap which is another non-lethal tool for Law Enforcement to use. $CLNE Clean Energy Fuels, RMG/Nat Gas distribution. I've held them for years and I believe they've come up on here before. $IMMR Immersion Technologies - Haptic technology, licensed to a number of big companies. For some reason I see this becoming a "Ready Player One"-tech type play. Other than those I love the $LIT, $FAN, $TAN, and $DRIV ETFs among other items. For you penny stock lovers, $KGKG - Kona Gold Beverage. I actually love their flagship Energy Drink but they're reformulating and currently out of stock of my favorite (and most) flavors. They're currently leaning on a lemonade line "Ooh La Lemin" which is being rolled out at Walmart. Have other holdings but those are my favorites right now.
This is why I buy ETFs and never stocks in single companies only. I have decent sized long positions in LIT and DRIV, both of which have a decent (but steadily shrinking) holdings of TSLA. Im down but at least I'm not DOWN down. TSLA still has a ways to fall, come back to the ground with the rest of automakers and have fun with production lines, labor forces and dealing with interest rates and macro economies like the rest of em.
GM. Chevrolet looks like they’re making a big EV play. I also like DRIV, the EV etf.
DRIV or KARS. DRIV is more chips and car companies with some mining with better last 5 year performance where KARS is more battery and mining but may perform better as EV adoption is more widespread and is spread out between car and chip companies.
Bruh my ETFs are doing amazing try FAN TAN or DRIV
ETFs yes. SPY. DRIV. Crypto investments like BTC, most solid. Stablecoins like USDC, staked on platforms like SPOOL. Decent APY, minimum risk. VTI.
Man I feel bad for the replies you’re getting so I’m gonna say Global X ETFs, SPY, XLK, AIQ, DRIV
DRIV is an ai ai vehicle ETf has a pretty balanced holdings Imo.
DRIV etf would be a boring but decent long here?
whilst i don't share your logic completely, an electric vehicle ETF will give you broad exposure to the EV sector without having to pick the winner. the funds are usually comprised of vehicle manufacturers (tesla, ford, rivian etc) chip makers (AMD nvidia etc) and technology providers (Samsung apple etc) DRIV and ECAR are two tickets you should look into.
EVs should explode ETFs are always a good option LIT+DRIV
Look into some ETFs.. LIT, DRIV, BATT, QCLN all come to mind. My EV portfolio has done the best so far this year for me compared to my blue chip type portfolios (voo, vxus, avuv, etc)
Today's move in the market is brought to you by Elon Musk saying that he feels so bad about the economy that he has to cut 10% of Tesla jobs and the Apple app store report. The first is enough on its own to cause the Nasdaq to get killed because Tesla can really push this index around, pair it with Apple also getting killed at the same time and it's deadly. Honestly, I'm tired of it (on the Tesla side of things). At this point I want Tesla's stock to get crushed enough to where it is not a factor in pushing around this index. I found EVs interesting enough to buy a small position in DRIV for a little while last year, but I chunked it as I was tiring of Elon even before this recent stuff.
The DRIV ETF looks like a good bundle of all the major players in the space
I'm buying small amounts of $DRIV. Feeling like the electric vehicles are going to catch up good next years.
KARS ETF or any other EV ETF (E.g. DRIV). Tech will continue to boom, legislation is being passed to promote EVs, public sentiment is shifting to one gas and one electric car per household. It may take a hammering today but it’s gonna be here soon enough.
Ok thanks, any examples of a thematic ETF you might have? I know a couple but I don't think they invest in any early stage growth companies (DRIV, IPAY, RBTZ are the ones I know)
Forty years lol Nah fam, u gotta invest in the future. AIQ, XLK, DRIV, BUG, LIT, URA
Best dividend stocks (also happens to be ETF’s) URA & URNM. Other great ETFs I recommend would be DRIV, LIT, COPX, XLP, XLV, BUG, AIQ, XLK. With those right there just keeping adding and Maybe you’ll join me at the zillionaire level once life compounds upon itself
Look at ETFs BATT, LIT, COPX, DRIV, CARZ, IDRV and stock LAC.
BUY DRIV 
VTI, VXUS and add a little of FAN, TAN and DRIV for long-term play.
Get into TAN, FAN & DRIV to diversify
The best stocks to make money in are those that you believe are underpriced relative to where they will be in the short and long term. Just because you believe that electric vehicles are the future doesn't mean you'll make money. You don't mention anywhere why you think TSLA or DRIV are underpriced. Everyone already knows electric vehicles are the future. Why do you think these stocks are underpriced? How will these stocks be impacted in the long term by macro events and shifts in asset classes in the broader market?
I would put it all into the DRIV ETF if I were you.
Seems hugely risky to try to pick winners in this space 5 years out. You should probably look at an ETF like DRIV if you are a believer in the sector.
this all seems very complicated for no practical reason. Why have QQQ + VOO + DIA when they're all very similar? You're going 3x on a lot of the same stocks. ARKK is gonna keep crashing, this is a repeat of the dot-com bubble, everyone chasing unprofitable ne hot trendy stocks.DRIV is too sector focused for me, and the top 10 holdings are Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla so this overlaps with QQQ/VOO. No real global exposure, either; you're all-in on US and Candian stocks. I'd consolidate this to 3 or 4 options total, mostly in broad market indexes and with a large minority in global stocks ... 20%, at least. you want coverage in Europe, Asia, Latin America, emerging markets. Ditto for QQQ + VOO + DIA in the education fund. I see no reason to have these three fund all togther. I'd do VOO + international + some bond/fixed income if you want/need to minimize volatility as kids approach I'm not sure what you mean with the 'growth fund'. Wal Mart is hardly a 'high risk' stock, it's a blue-chip consumer staples company. if you want to get a dividend ETF that's fine, but I'd do it in the tax-free account. unless there's some compelling need for extra income. overall I lean towards value investing, because the reseach shows it's far more effective over the long-haul than growth investing. also read up on 'mean reversion', how stocks tend to go back ot long-term averages. this means you want to avoid hot/trendy options. if you buy only ETFs that are going up there's a strong chance you're also buying over-valued stocks.
recently got some money from my dad to invest. rate my portfolio $1000 2.13% GOOG 11.27% JPM 19.35% PACB 11.6% PEP 3.0% DRIV 50.2% VTI
1. DRIV etf 2. EDOC etf 3. META etf
The only issue is that it made its debut shortly before "time to retire transitory" happened. Had it made its debut late in 2020 or in the summer of 2020, it'd have done well for longer than it did. Since "time to retire transitory" happened, the NDX100 can't get out of its own way, much less any "cool" name like this one or a name like NET that still has a dumb P/S, despite being cut in half. I don't think this is fraudulent, like Nikola, but since they still have zero revenue, they're going to get punished. There are different ways to play EV, and I was in one for a little while but chucked it as Tesla was driving me nuts, even though I'm not talking about Tesla itself (I'm talking about DRIV).
I bought ARKQ back at in March and was so lucky to get out in November with a tiny $200 profit. Felt so good to run away. A couple weeks after buying ARKQ, I noticed she was selling off legitimate automation companies like ROK and loading up on Chinese stocks. I knew I was in trouble then. What pisses me off is that I picked ARKQ over DRIV…ugh
Thinking about Puts on EV / Automomous driving ETF DRIV. There’s no way those don’t take a hit tmrw following the holiday pump, although in 2-4 weeks I see NKLA continuing the heavy growth it saw last week not long after the initial drop. Probably see the trend follow with EVs overall but especially that company.
I feel like EV market overall is up and certainly will continue to grow. You unfortunately just picked some bad stocks. The ETFs DRIV and LIT have some decent price history. I think you need a lot more diversity.
Sounds like you have your answer. For our family, my boys have steadily growing investments in VOO, but a bit in DRIV and picked up some pandemic sales. Cash sits on QYLD until more bargains come along. Agree 100% on turning on DRIP. I’m not a big fan on 529 or dependent accounts that auto roll over account holder when they turn 18 - if they are ready sure, if not, I’ll control until they are.
Hi all, I'm beginning to add some well-needed diversification into my portfolio and would like some other opinions on my ideas. I am 19 years old and would like to create a high-risk portfolio (my intention is not to treat this as a savings/compounding account, but rather as its own source of income.) I am looking to save around $20k USD within the next year and plan on diversifying as such, as I have a particular interest in space stocks and environmental commodities; FINAL FIGURES/PERCENTAGES (USD) $ASTS - 25% ($5,000) $LAC - 22.5% ($4,500) $RKLB - 15% ($3000) $X - 10% ($2000) $DRIV - 7.5% ($1500) $YOLO - 5% ($1000) $UEC - 5% ($1000) $JETS - 5% ($1000) $PL - 5% ($1000) Am I sitting too rigidly within one industry? Is this portfolio likely to crumble in the event of X/Y event? I don't know, and that's why I'm asking reddit.
$DRIV Been eating off these calls for over a month!
DRIV ETF...A safer and effective investment than the memers
I was talking with someone else and they said BlackBerry should have changed their name and re-branded years ago. Marketing is highly important. And other management issues seem to hold BlackBerry back in the stock market. I’ve been in and out a lot but it hasn’t moved enough for me to tie up any chunk of my money in it right now. Personally the Global X DRIV ETF has done about 40% for me so I’m just holding that to capitalize on the EV Market. Maybe when my portfolio is bigger I’ll buy back into BB a little more but personally that stock has pissed me off more than anything. And I did reeeaaalllyy good when it rallied into $30 or whatever price it hit…still not buying it right now.
Global X ETFs have been great to me DRIV, BKCH, CLOU, BUG
Same story for me. Small bites is what I would suggest. Also, all those articles on FB from MSNBC about bitcoin, Tesla, Apple are old news. Those come out late after a run up so stay away from that bs when making decisions. Long term you will make money. I would suggest mutual funds or ETFs for specific market segments. Like if you think EVs are the future, consider DRIV fund instead of getting Tesla. That fund contains Tesla and all the others in that business. Yeah your gains will be less but so will your losses.
I’ve been reading through the comments about RIVN here over the past couple of weeks, and it seems the WSB consensus agrees with you. They’re damn sweet looking trucks, though. I hope you enjoy the hell outta yours. Two ETFs that will buy in to RIVN (DRIV and IPO) are down yesterday and in premarket.
DRIV leaps are cheap. Easy and boring 2x
Any opinions on industry focused ETFs like KOIN and DRIV ?
Of course. I sold one option that was the initial cost of my investment all together, so now it’s all profits sitting in there. Put the rest into $DRIV $40 calls for 2023
Current portfolio: 10 DRIV bought in @ 27.14 12 SOFI bought in @ 17.47 18 F bought in @ 14.54 60 GOEV bought in @ 8.06 2 SWBI bought in @ 21.67
How much is decent amount of money? Because $25 is certainly not much at all. Wait till you get a few hundred or $1,000 and dump it into ETF’s and forget about it. Keep adding every paycheque. You can set up auto-deposits from your bank to brokerages so it’ll add every (2 weeks, 1 month etc.) no effort. For picks I especially like “Global X” ETF’s. They have tons, check out their website. $AIQ, $DRIV, $BLOK, $LIT, $HYDR, $URA are all grade A+++ With $1,000 you could buy a little of all those and just keep adding to it over time. Manage your portfolio by % not dollar value. Try to diversify and don’t keep more than 10% in one single pick, unless account is very small.
I have some shares of the DRIV ETF. You think this will get added to the ETF? Is that how ETFs work?
It’s pretty flat right now which is a good sign for a long play. Good luck. Full disclosure I’m in Ford and DRIV.
I’m in one. Low cap, but promising plus the DRIV ETF. Been flat for a while and due for a move up I think. DRIV is an autonomous, electric and self driving car ETF. Long hold and I’m very bullish on it as I have worked in the auto industry my whole life.
With EVs, I am just going to share a few general thoughts. I recently bought an EV. There were so many incentives: * 7500 Federal Tax Credit * up to 5000 State Tax Credit (NJ) * No State Sales Tax on EVs (NJ) Two of the major competitors in the EV space (Tesla and GM) have exhausted the federal tax credits. Here's a list of qualifying vehicles: [https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml) The NJ ChargeUP program has the following vehicles: [https://chargeup.njcleanenergy.com/eligible-vehicles](https://chargeup.njcleanenergy.com/eligible-vehicles) Based on test driving and analyzing the various vehicles, I went with the Nissan Leaf. However, I would have gone with the Volkswagen id4 if they didn't have delays (the one I wanted would not be available until March 2022, and there was no guarantee the tax credits in state would still be available). The Mustang Mach-E was impressive as well, but it didn't fit my family's needs. From a cost standpoint, with Nissan year-end incentives, I got a brand new car that retailed for around $40,000 for $22,500. With no sales tax, that's like 50% off (and Nissan gave me 60 month 0% interest financing). I am not knowledgeable enough about what states other than NJ are doing, but Tesla and GM are at a bit of a disadvantage because they exhausted the federal tax credit. Obviously there are international markets (Tesla is big in China!). I also like NIO, which is a Chinese manufacturer that is starting to expand outside China. LI and XPEV are two other Chinese car manufacturers. Disclaimer: I do own Tesla stock, but I've trimmed my position and taken some profits. I also own NIO. My thought? If you have doubt, diversify your position. You could buy 15-40 shares of some of these other companies for the price of one share of TSLA. You could also look at a diversified ETF like DRIV which holds Tesla, Toyota, General Motors, Nio, Ford, VW, Xpeng, Geely, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Renault, and (chuckle) Nikola.
That is me buying Tesla at the beginning of the year. Also bought DRIV etf so at least I got something right.
Name the ones you like here: I have BLOK, BKCH, DRIV…. Other favorites?
Riskier: DRIV ZEV QS KL Not so risky: F BIP MO VTI VOO
Rate my stock :) (note, I have margin investments too hence why it goes over 100%). Nissan - 26% Microsoft - 25% Vanguard total market (VTI) - 33% Google - 79% Facebook - 31% Electric cars ETF (DRIV) - 5% Neutra Corp (NTRR) 1%
What about DRIV? I've been eyeing that for a minute.
Yeah that was my thought when I swapped out NIO for the DRIV ETF. EVs as a whole should expand in the coming years maybe if the legacy automakers come up, so rather than betting on a single one, buy a basket that the ETF would invest in.
We'll see, but Toyota for example, bumped it's EV production ahead by five years, and other manufacturers are phasing out their ICE car production early. Governments are setting deadlines for all cars to go electric/hydrogen, and new charging stations are popping up like mad. So even if oil has a recovery, I think the surge in the EV industry will be far greater. Same with solar. Some places are mandating that new homes be built with solar panels, and who doesn't want their own electricity anyway? So I'm very bullish on $DRIV & $TAN. A new baby boom generation would be swell, but the cost of living has to go way down, since it's closely tied to birth rates.
DRIV barely moves and was even down today while most of the EV stocks on my list were up 5 to 10 percent or more. I’m willing to endure more volatility for tastier profits.
DRIV, IDRV and LIT shares. Too tired of losing money on individual tickers
DRIV, LIT and GRID are ETFs in this area. You could look at them and their underlying holdings.
EV ETF's. HAIL IDRV and DRIV. I currently own HAIL
Next 12-18 months - which do you think will perform better? QCLN? or DRIV?
You can add QCLN to the RIP list. DRIV has actually performed pretty well this year - up 9.82%.
Diversify 3k into safe long term assets that don’t move much, but have solid holdings ... my fav would be DRIV Put 500 into spy weeklies
I apologize, I'm half asleep but I just want to double check: So I go on Morningstar and compare the two ETFs on a Growth of 10k chart. DRIV grew $1000 more dollars by the end of the period compared to IDRV. So does that higher level of gross reflect the net after expense ratios? Also, I noticed that the NAV for IDRV is $47.48, but the price shown for buying and selling on Vanguard is the market price of $47.74
ICLN, TAN, FAN, DRIV - cool ETFs to look into for the future of EVs + clean energy.
I've been putting money into $DRIV. It's also weighted in EVs, so not purely AV. The holdings seem reasonable to me, but I'd be interested to hear second opinions.
that's my mentality as well. But I'm not stupid about it. A majority of my portfolio is still VTI/VEU (Which I feel like I may by the only person on the planet that prefers VEU to VXUS.) My "picks" are ETFs like ARKK, BLOK, PAVE, DRIV, etc
DRIV put it there and forget about it
I jumped into FAN, TAN, and DRIV. I expect the clean energy/EV industries to absolutely explode in the next few decades. I know some people think clean energy/EV plays are already overvalued. But I’m very confident the companies held by these funds will grow into their valuations and continue their upward trend. Plus, I’m trying to invest more ethically & consciously.
