I'm not a fan of overplaying my hand in sector ETFs. However, making it 30% of your portfolio is fine. Example in a taxable brokerage account: \- 70% VTI or SCHB \- 30% SOXX. Could be replaced with FTEC or QQQ.
Is there an etf that holds the five companies you listed above in your previous comment? I was mostly holding VOO, FTEC, VGT, SMH, but those companies you listed are only a small percentage of the holdings of the ETFs that im seeing. Cheers
Individual stocks: - Google (GOOGL) - NVIDIA (NVDA) This is due to their EPS, market dominance, cult fans, and P/E ratio. Basket of stocks in an ETF wrapper: - VTI or SCHB - FTEC or VGT
I'm in FTEC because those percentages just aren't high enough for me
I’d pick 5-10 stocks or just FTEC
is FTEC us companies only or international?
Avoid high overlapping. VTI is fine but maybe add FTEC. FTEC is already up 22% this year and has a super low expense ratio of 0.08%. I loved that ETF before I had to sell it (car accident burned through my emergency funds).
I’m of the opinion that etfs are the way to go based on your stated desire to set and forget and the limited capital involved. That said, and your stated timeframe of 3-4 years I’d do $ 3000 VOO, $3000 in FTEC or XLK (tech focus) and 1500 in fxaix, this is a bit of a backup as dry capital to invest and average down in a downturn.
I’m trying to determine if I should continue investing in primarily FSKAX and if I should continue utilizing a standard 401K, Roth IRA, AND Traditional IRA to diversify my tax-advantage accounts or if I should just consolidate. - 40 years old, living in LCOL area - Sales engineer making between $150k-300k (100% commission) - Only debt is the house which is financed at 2.125% with 80k left on the mortgage, so I don’t necessarily need to move, but it’s the starter home I’ve been in for 12 years and wouldn’t be against moving if the right house came to market. 401k $629k in T.Rowe Retirement 2050 Fidelity Brokerage $561k Total - $326k in FSKAX - $69k in FTEC - $69k in FTIHX - $12k in NIO - $85K in SPAXX/SPRXX Roth IRA $31k Total - $18k in FSKAX - $9k in ARKK - $4k in NIO Traditional IRA $19k Total - All in FSKAX
Right now I’ve got our investments going into FSELX, FTEC, and FSKAX. April and now into May are the reasons I’m considering selling and investing. I always liked the steady “safety net” income from rentals. What sort of easily managed portfolio would you suggest?
I do 20% VOO, 30% FTEC, 50% individual (Tech stocks). Sold all my VTs.
Is this rage bait? Ftec is passively managed ....border line index fund. https://digital.fidelity.com/prgw/digital/research/quote/dashboard/composition?symbol=FTEC
OKLO is definitely the star of the show. For other speculative things, I have some other small, long term positions in materials companies (UUUU, MP, UURAF). Most of my stocks, though, are just in an actively managed tech ETF called FTEC. It's done me well because they added a fair share of NVIDIA to the ETF a few years ago.
All of those except FN and MTSI are in FTEC.
If you are in 30's you have long way to go. So I would invest in FTEC, VOO and SPMO split evenly or just setup monthly recurring investment. Along the way once you understand how markets move you can start investing in international, emerging markets, small cap, mid cap. Let the compounding do the magic.
I'm looking to confirm that Vanguard (and FTEC for that matter) are not going to include OpenAI or SpaceX in their index funds at IPO
Putting $50k of my entire life savings in 3x WTI ETF funds when oil went to -$2 during Covid and riding that up until Russia invaded Ukraine. 3,000%+ return at 29 years old. I felt like a real movie villain. Cheered on every hurricane or every oil spill or natural disaster involving oil and even wars. Also putting in all my over time I worked during Covid in FTEC during Covid. That paid off big too over time.
I just put $500 each on SCHK and FTEC. Just feed the pig.
So currently I am 17yrs old and have a youth brokerage account with a couple thousand allocated like this around 30% FTEC 35% VTI 18% VXUS and 17% VNQ is this to tech heavy? Should I diversify it more if so how? I know there's tech overlap and people are saying the tech/Ai bubble is about to pop...Along with having a $5,000 XRP investment I bought in at 1.85 and am wondering if I should just sell with the losses of 1.4k and move it into ETFs or hold it and see what happens with XRP?
JUST FTEC, VGT, VTI, 8k across these.
If you’re already investing in VOO/VTI having FTEC or VGT is better than QQQ
Except QQQ isn’t a tech fund. FTEC or VGT are much better
yeah just roll it into FTEC, locking profits into your core holding is exactly what the roth is for tbh
\> What do I do with profits? Stop thinking of them as "profits". It's just your money. Put it in whatever you want to invest in. It's a Roth, so you can change anytime you want, so if you have already decided you like FTEC, putting it in that makes sense until you decide you have a better idea. \> I got extremely lucky with NBIS Hopefully you didn't sell it Friday...
Fun money is in VXUS? Lol. Atleast do FTEC or SOXX then.
My port is 90% FTEC. Should I just swap it all for nvidia?
I've got some FTEC, but I'm just trying to expand my horizon for when the AI bubble pops tbh
I’m a simple man. I buy VOO, VXUS, and FTEC on red days.
AVGV VT RING in my wife's Roth. PAVE VT FTEC in mine. 10/80/10 for both of us.
Look into SOXQ or SOXX, not VGT or FTEC because many of them have junk software stocks. I have 25% in SOXX and it has gained 17.77% this year. VGT and FTEC are in the negative so far this year.
Ego investing would imply that I'm buying to impress. VT VYM FTEC doesn't really stroke my ego.
With 8-10 years to retirement and a pension covering your base, you actually have more room to be a bit aggressive than most people in your situation. The pension is basically your bond allocation. The barbell idea (VT core + FTEC + VYM) makes sense in theory but you're kind of double-dipping on tech since VT already has heavy tech weighting. You'd end up pretty overweight there. If the goal is extra income by retirement, I'd lean more toward the VYM side. Dividend growth compounds nicely over 8-10 years and gives you something tangible to see each quarter. Could do 80/20 VT/VYM and keep it simple. The $142k projection at 9% is reasonable but remember that's nominal. After inflation it's more like 6-7% real return, so maybe $115-125k in today's dollars. Still solid for a supplement to your pension. Biggest thing is just staying consistent with the $8,600/year contributions. The returns will do their thing if you don't panic sell during a downturn.
Agreed. I have been holding FTEC since I started.
I do 40%VT and rest of the 60% 10% FTEC 10% SMH 10% AVUV 10% GLD 10% BND
Invest in IYW or FTEC along with VOO/VXUS?
I noticed yesterday after hours that FTEC was down nearly 15% from its ATH, so I bought 50 shares @ $210 each. If it goes down to 20% I’ll buy more. 30%, more.
Honestly yeah idk why everyone is panic selling this shit was expected for awhile. Times as good as any to buy buy buy, don’t try to time it either just fucking buy. I’m all in on FSPTX, QQM, FTEC in separate accounts , also keep my bread and butter 75/25 FXAIX/FSPFX
Invest in everything, diversify. VT, VTI/ VXUS. Add some momentum or a specific sector you have faith in QQQM FTEC VGT SOXX SOXQ or maybe you want small caps. If you want precious metals and or Bitcoin make it 10-12%
I have been doing 5% in FTEC for my Roth IRA. Lately I’ve been having the thought to switch from FTEC to Microsoft? I know Microsoft makes up 12% of it. I’m nervous because FTEC holds 290 companies so I’d lose that diversification aspect. But Microsoft has outperformed FTEC (although I know that doesn’t mean it stays that way). Is it smart to make the switch? Or keep the diversification and stay with FTEC? I’m torn on what to do
Momentum based ETF is not a smart way to invest. There’s no guarantee it will keep up. VOO is more diversified. If you want a tech or growth focused fund just buy FTEC or VGT. Either are better
Those stocks which you mentioned are tagged as communications thus XLC is what you are looking for, so you can go for FTEC+XLC or VGT+ XLC.
>50% FZROX (basically VOO but no fees?) VOO + smaller US companies, but basically yes >20% FZILX (international emerging markets with no fees) emerging *and* developed markets >20% FTEC (fidelity tech etf) This is fine as long as you can stomach more volatility for a longer period of time >10% FESM (fidelity small cap) No need, since this is already covered in FZROX. Unless you're purposefully tilting towards small cap. Overall: looks good to me. I'd get into the market immediately. If you hadn't rolled over it's not like you would've moved all your 401k to cash.
FTEC or VGT are better
FTEC not having GOOGL, META and Neflix is one of the down sides. The .08 expense ratio is killer though. I own it and bought the other 3 as individual stocks. Served me VERY well for last 10yrs or so.
Both. I have VT at 25% for diversity, up 21% and I believe technology in general will continue to dominate the markets. So I have QQQM 32% up 20% and FTEC 32% up 21%
Pick what works for you and let's you sleep at night. -The Psychology of Money 32%QQQM 32#%FTEC 24%VT 4 shares FUTY and 12 shares APLD in my wife's Roth. I have the same at a different % and instead of FUTY-RING with stocks. I sleep just fine.
Thank you for the correction for FTEC. It looks like you favor the rational reminder pod casts and I appreciate the share. I might be a fan. I agree sector bets are not a bet I would like to make as well. They are interesting to read into. The irrational exuberance is a good point. It's the popular explanation behind the dot com bubble, housing crisis/recession, and even internationally with china's building frenzy. It's a story repeated monthly through 2025, 2024, 2023, etc. The biggest mistake I can make right now other than to buy nothing is to buy any individual stocks. You might be familiar with the counter argument of over diversification or "Diworsification." Over complication, diminished returns, higher costs, and no meaningful reduction in risk. I don't want to buy outside my field of competence. I will brainstorm a 60/30/5/5 or 40/20/15/15 split between SWPPX/QQQM/SWISX/SWSSX.
Avantis and Dimensional seem to be some of the favorite names when it comes to small value. >I appreciate the recommendation of FYEC and VGT. I will read more into them FTEC. They're true tech funds, but exclude some companies you may consider to be tech but the market considers as something else (Amazon, Tesla, Alphabet/Google, Meta/Facebook for example are all non-tech by GICS classification). Sector bets aren't a bet I'd make, as they're uncompensated risk. Favored sectors change from time to time and it isn't always the hot new tech with the best returns. I have several links that explain that, with sources here: * https://www.pwlcapital.com/investing-technological-revolutions/ * https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/123 * https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/156 (climate change, clean energy related especially) * https://rationalreminder.ca/podcast/183 In the first link, do a CTRL+F for "irrational exuberance" and read at least a few paragraphs before and after that.
Don't focus on large growth. Small value has tended to win in the long run. The inclusion criteria for QQQ(M) is absolute nonsense. If you do want a tech tilt, there are tech funds that don't discriminate based on the exchange. FTEC, VGT to name 2.
Bought some FTEC good for the day fellow WSB'ers
Up 20.5%. Not bad considering I held on to Chipotle and Apple too long. Besides those two which I sold in Q4 and purchased Google, everything else is FTEC, FZROX, and QQQM.
19% up this year in early leanFIRE, while holding about 20% in bond and money market funds (so a little stock heavy for a semi-retired person), and that's after withdrawals of about 2% for living expenses. Mostly in VPMAX, VGHAX and VGT/FTEC with a smattering of FSELX, COST, REGN and AAPL. I've been investing since 1996, averaging 10-11% over the past three decades, and averaging 10.2% over the past 10 years as my portfolio gradually shifted to be more conservative.

I agree with you. I chose FTEC for the lower expense ratio and slightly better allocation in my opinion. Basically the same as VGT though
I like SOXQ better than SOXX. SOXQ has performed better, has a higher dividend yield, and has a lowest fee of any semiconductor ETF. SMH performs even better for semiconductors, but it has way more Nvidia concentration. Given I already have plenty of Nvidia in my portfolio, I passed on this one. I don’t see a perfect match for SKYY, but I can tell you about 77% of the holdings are in FTEC and VGT which are both very popular. I also had a negative experience First Trust ETFs twice now, nothing nefarious but lousy fund management, so I avoid them now.
Seems like a lot of work that boils down to taking profits at 15%. Why not just go with SMH, VGT, FTEC, QQQM or some combo?
It’s best to invest it all the second you get the money. This is best over 70% of the time. Sometimes it’s the wrong call but because it’s more often the right call you’ll outperform the other approach longterm. You could start auto investing weekly or even daily (you might have to set up 5 weekly payments for each day of the week to do daily) then you’d catch every dip but that means you’d also have money sitting in cash for most of the month. I don’t recommend it but you could always leave 10% of your money in cash when you do your monthly transfers and use that for buying dips. Honestly though, if you’re only investing in an all world ETF rather than a more volatile fund like FTEC or QQQM, those dips aren’t going to be that big. I always lump sum value and blend funds and buy dips for growth funds.
Think about sector based ETFs, which can be quite lively from a growth standpoint. Losses from any one company in the fund are generally canibalized by the others, so you'll be moving upwards with the sector even if headline firms take a hit. I'm in tech and am convinced that the picks and shovels plays on the AI boom are no bubble in the long run even if there's some sort of sideways dip. The hyperscalers/trainers are risky investments in a fast moving environment with a lot of the best firms not having made an IPO and the threat of Chinese open source models beating them anyway. Supporting this effort is the semiconductor industry, which has hit an incredible level of sophistication and profitability. IMO, the best way in is with one of the ETFs that track the old PHLX Philadelphia Semiconductor index: SOXX, SOXQ (cheap expense ratio), or SMH. Start researching semiconductor fabrication and things like the 2nm process or ASML products. Then when the market dips, you have faith in the 10 year trajectory of the industry and don't hit the sell button. If the data centers flounder for any reason, the Edge chip market will likely thrive (Apple, Qualcom, ARM, etc.). Otherwise, all those VOO type indexes are great. I've got FIDU in my back pocket as something safe that could overperform too. I like FTEC as an alternative to QQQ for whatever reason.
For you I think two fund would be great. Personally I prefer VTI over VOO because it has thr Mid and Small caps of the US market which increase diversification significantly, and help your portfolio recover faster in downturns. On the topic of QQQ Id biff it. The "Nasdaq 100" is well marketed but really a nothingburger. If you're looking to add a growth tilt, use a growth fund like SCHG. If you're looking for a tech fund, use something like FTEC. Or use both!! Just dont use something like QQQ because exchanges are not a factor like growth, tech, or anything else is.
FTEC and VGT have better performance than QQQM so you are incorrect. OP already has VOO and VXUS. They don’t need any more diversification
Call me crazy but I'm 50% VGT 10% SMH 15% FTEC 10% INTL 5% GLD
FTEC or VGT instead of QQQM
QQQ isn't tech, so no. VGT or FTEC or similar would be a better fit.
Just a small suggestion - FTEC is pretty much the same as VGT but has a lower fee.
This is why u buy FTEC and ignore the noise. Just win
I have a 30+ year portfolio but I'm growing a little hesitant with the tech portion of my Roth IRA. My taxable cash account is all 70% VT and then 30% large-cap tech stocks and mega caps. My 401k is 50% VT and 50% Tech FTEC. However, my Roth IRA is all tech, FTEC and QQQ. What can I do over a 30-year horizon to add something with a similar growth trajectory as tech that isn't tech? Everything is tech, VOO is already almost half tech, and I'm 100% tech. What etf do I add that has a similar growth trajectory that isn't tech for a high-risk, high growth, long-term portfolio?
I certainly wouldn't have VGT or FTEC as my only equity position. Yeah it has done really well over the last 10 years and I think tech will still do really pretty well over the next 10 years, but it should really be maybe at most 50% of your equity position and the other half could be something more generalized like VOO or VTI.
I would just pick one, VGT or FTEC. There is no sense in having two ETFs in your portfolio that are basically identical, it just complicates things.
FTEC is nearly identical to Vanguard's VGT ETF as it is also aiming to track the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI)/Information Technology 25/50 Index. It is interesting that FTEC has a few less holdings. Both have nearly identical expense ratios (0.084% and 0.09%). FTEC is much smaller though with around $16B AUM compared to VGT's $138B AUM. FTEC's inception date was 10/21/13, while VGT's was 01/26/2004. Personally I would go with VGT, but if you have a Fidelity fund that makes it easier to buy and sell their own funds it might makes sense to go with FTEC. VGT / FTEC have done very well over the last 10 years.

I haven’t heard of FTEC I’ll look into it!
I’d go VOO, FTEC, and SCHD/DGRO
VOO + FTEC or VGT instead
I dunno - just used ChatGPT and felt like I accomplished more than I expected to - then checked NVDA after hours, currently about +5%. I would love to see Burry on CNBC. Another thing to consider 1 yr returns FTEC vs. SCHD (almost no tech) +20.7% vs. -5.97% - that is like real lifestyle differences returns. lol!!
SPLG/FTEC/FCNTX FCNTX is my exotics. I get some open AI and SpaceX exposure.
I'd like a recommendation for an ETF for a possibly 40-60 year hold, very long term, very tech. I have the usual VOO/ VXUS portfolio and short term bonds portfolio. My preference is towards tech and higher risk (open to losing 50% of it any time). I've cut it down to specifics I'm looking for 1) tech diversified and not focused on mega caps 2) has robotics and hardware 3) has a decent number of holdings, 100+ Which one would be the best out of? I am leaning towards IGM. VGT: Pro: growth Con: 50% is Nvda, Aapl, Msft, Avgo IYW: Pro: Has the robotics and hardware component Con: 45% is Nvda, Aapl, Msft IXN: Pro: Global tech Cons: Assumes the US does not dominate like the others do IGM: Pro: Evenly distributed, more emphasis on all North American Tech, and not top heavy Cons: More volatile XLK: Pro: Heavier on the full SP500 IT companies Cons: Not many, but similar to IYW. FTEC: Same as VGT Cons: Same as VGT
100% FTEC in individual, 100% FBTC in IRA and 401k

I am a young, risk-on investor looking to maximize long-term growth while maintaining balanced exposure. I am pretty confident on my allocations but have two questions. 55% VTI 10% AVUV 10% FTEC 10% VEA 10% VWO 5% IBIT 1. Should I swap VTI for VOO to flush out the small-cap growth? Or does VTI provide better diversified exposure for the long haul (i.e. mid-caps)? 2. Increase AVUV to 15% by decreasing 55% -> 50%? Seems like small-cap value is best bet for my long-term goals, but the recent extended underperformance is daunting. Regardless, what's the best balance? The answer could depend on whether VTI or VOO is selected. Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Usually yes but not always. High dividend yields erode NAV. Some companies can both have decent yields and growth like Walmart or Abbvie but look at AMD and Meta and Google...they all prioritize share price increase over dividend payouts. Obviously don't invest in hot mess penny stocks but at your age, I think you can take higher risk bets than just VOO. Maybe VGT/FTEC if you think the AI boom will continue.
I like FTEC and SPMO. These are growth ETFs. If you’re interested in steady, less volatile but incremental growth, then go for VTI, SCHG, or VOO. Determine your risk tolerance, goals and future prospects. Then, strategize, study and execute.
International stocks did very well the first quarter of this year but the last 6 months, domestic stocks have performed better especially tech etfs, SMH, FTEC, VGT.
I bought into APLD at $5.12 good choice. Archer Aviation has a lot going for it except profits. Stellantis is helping with a production facility in Atlanta. Korean Air and United Airlines are onboard. Lots of exposure coming up with The World Cup and the Olympics. I honestly think Robinhood could hit $300 next year. I know there are a lot of haters for good reasons but, there is a new generation of young investors who don't care about the Game Stop scandal and they like the format and incentives. Earnings report is coming up. Kratos Defense is another good one. Considering your picks are all technology, FTEC is a solid ETF.
Same. I also gave shares of FTEC, which hold a significant amount of NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT. that pretty much covers everything I need tech wise
1st, no one can give advice since we don't know your LT/ST gains, if it's taxable account, 2nd, the chains on FTEC VTI MAGs and similar ETf's are likely pretty illiquid, you can check spreads on 2 year legs for yourself lots of other rabbitholes here...
I love FTEC been DCA since it was $35 a piece.
When you say: “Better” I’m assuming you mean returns? Yes there are. ETFs and Funds like QQQ/QQQM, FTEC, FSPGX, just to name a few, are aggressive growth funds that focus on a particular sector or exchange, or Company cap size. Nasdaq 100 focuses on the top 100 Companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Not nearly as diversified as an S&P fund or a Total Index Fund. But they’re not supposed to be. These funds are for aggressive growth. They will always outperform less risky funds in an up market or a Bull Market. But in a down or bear market, you are more susceptible to a larger decline, due to them being less diversified. But for me, the reward outweighs the risk. And historically markets go up overtime. If market goes down, I keep buying. Goes sideways I keep buying. Goes up, you get the drill. If you wanna be conservative, buy the S&P or a total index ETF/Funds, and something else that is more aggressive for growth, if that helps you sleep better. I am a big proponent of the NASDAQ, because of the many Companies they housed that I personally value. And I believe these companies will continue to go up in the future for years to come. We have lost the ability to do some many things well in this country. Except Tech. It is one of the only things we still excel at business wise here. So much so when Tech is down, the market goes down with it. That sector alone has changed so many people’s lives.
QQQM only out for 5 yrs. Yes XLK, SCHG, SMH, FNGS(etn), FTEC and MAGS will easily... all higher TR from QQQM inception.
I don't think the semiconductor ETF's are good for long term I am currently torn between QQQM VS SCHG I don't like XLK and FTEC as much because they are too top heavy
I like your current portfolio but I’d change QQQM to FTEC or VGT
I’d go VOO, FTEC or VGT (I think they’re better than SMH), VYM
