Don’t worry too much about the expense ratio at this point. They are pretty negligible. The expense ratio on QQQ is .18%, but I’d rather have it and pay the fee than not own it.

So she’s an 11, real ones only care about SPY and QQQ

BeneficialSyllabub71

Before transferring another $60k, ask the advisory firm what their exact strategy is and what their fees are. If they’re just going to put you in VOO/QQQ, you can do that yourself.

That all sounds fine in general. I wouldn't have too much allocated to SCHD at age 20. If it's more than 30% of your Roth, I'd probably trim it down to 10% and split the proceeds between VOO and QQQ.

Spy and QQQ up but GOOG, AMZN, NVDA, and MSFT down makes perfect sense

steady_compounder

You're 20 and already investing. That's the hardest part done honestly. One thing worth knowing, VOO and QQQ have massive overlap. QQQ's top holdings are basically VOO's top holdings too. You're doubling down on large cap US tech which is fine if that's intentional. At your age I'd keep it simple. VTI + VXUS in the IRA and let the target date fund handle the 401k. Compounding over 45 years does the heavy lifting.

RealWooWhee

The fact that everyone thinks this is the dotcom crash means QQQ+20% this year again

QQQ 581 coming?

Rock_or_Rol

Right on! Yeah, I had a good run with small SPY/QQQ bets until this month. Idk, I can do alright with price action but not macro ig

TheGambler1987

QQQ closed 0.21% higher, but the underlying companies net market caps decreased by USD200m (0.55%)…

Holding 2/24 598 QQQ puts over the long weekend. May the betting gods be with me

SimilarTap1419

PLTR held up very nice today. QQQ sold off in final hr with MSFT down. PLTR up in session and after hours. Very BULLISH signal the worst is behind us. 255.00 next

Pioladoporcaputo

I lost $13000 today playing 0DTE options and chickening out when I was assigned a 2/20 QQQ call when the index crashed late. From $75000 at the beginning of the year to only $60000 left in my account. My goal was reaching $95000. I'm about to be replaced by AI so if I lag behind these goals I'm cooked Fuck my fucking life, man. Fuck my fucking life...

ButterRollercoaster

SPY’s flat YTD, QQQ’s down 3%, and the Russell… is *up* 6%?!

stratify-dev

Since you're getting different perspectives here, let me add some practical context: The overlap between VOO/QQQ/SCHD is real - you're basically triple-weighting Apple, Microsoft, etc. For tax efficiency in your Roth, I'd lean toward gradually rebalancing rather than selling everything at once (though in tax-advantaged accounts, this matters less). On international: historically, having 20-30% international helps with risk-adjusted returns. The US has crushed it for 15+ years, but cycles change. Something like VTIAX or VTI+VXUS gives you that global diversification without the complexity. The "keep it simple" crowd has a point too - 100% VOO isn't terrible at your age. Your 401k target date fund already gives you some international exposure anyway. Bottom line: any of these approaches beats not investing at all. Pick something you understand and stick with it. You can always evolve your strategy as you learn more. The consistency matters more than perfect optimization.

Bought a 580 QQQ protective put in case The Big One is scheduled for next week

Odd-Block-2998

Frantically rolling out my QQQ $600Ps expiring 2 weeks from now. Crazy gamma risk.

Iceman60467

I own VOO and QQQ and I was thinking to sell Sonos positions and move equity to these ETFS for now. The other stocks I have are big companies so I think they should do OK. I will retire in 12 years so I still have a time. Thank you for your meaningful posts

dbd209

This is the worst case scenario. We clearly need a clean flush on QQQ and SPY. The longer this shit keeps playing out like this, the harder it is to trade. One big flush, and we can go up again, but this PA here is fucking awful.

Coffeewin

QQQ is green when all big tech getting blasted wtf

Roygbiv-Turtle-98

NQ is down basically the exact same % as QQQ What are you on?

Spy puts from this morning down to worthless. Way OTM QQQ puts I got for Tuesday with leftover uninvested cash up 77% 🤡

TraipseTraveller

I haven't actually bought yet, but I'm about to just because otm QQQ puts Tuesday are cheap. Have you thought of any other plays?

Roll-Annual

Others have commented on your tech-heavy investments. You’re also in most specific stocks and not ETFs. There are ideological arguments around that, but generally ETFs are stabler.  Another consideration is your investing horizon, are you looking for maximum near-term growth, stable long-term growth, or maximum near-term stability? If you want diversity, consider adding non-US ETFs (Vanguard VEA), less-tech dominant value-companies (Vanguard VTV), diversified US ETFs (VOO or VTI). There are also thematic ETFs (energy, infrastructure, consumer staples, defense). And hedges (commodities, non-US ETF, etc) if you aren’t bullish on US dollar.  If you want a hands-off approach, target-date investment funds.  An advisor is highly likely to move away from single-stocks (for the most part) and prefer ETFs because of the inherent risk mitigation associated with them. You likely don’t need to pay for an advisor unless (1) you can’t stop yourself from trading and you want to, (2) you want someone actively trading for you, or (3) you’re really trying to maximize near-term returns and willing to have someone be risky. Outside of those conditions, you’re likely better off with low-fee ETFs, index, or target-date funds.  Personally, I’m pretty near-ish on the current US market valuations and I’ve done extremely well with gold-ETF (IAU), defense ETF (NATO), and non-US ETF (VEA + Fidelity equivalent) and very so-so with VTI, QQQ, and US-growth stocks. But that’s recency bias and potentially not reliable in 2026 and beyond.

What a dead-cat bounce, more downside ahead next week. Holding my QQQ shorts over weekend, next week target 580.

pineapplekiwipen

obviously your napkin math is off otherwise QQQ wouldn't be up 0.6%

TheGambler1987

26% of the QQQ weighting (NVDA, AVGO and AAPL) is down 1.5%, with remaining mag7 looking like they are cancelling each other out and QQQ overall is up 0.6%…

IllPresentation6939

Thank you I appreciate the advice👍should I sell out of all my QQQ and SCHD and move the money into VOO? Or what if I did VOO and then an international fund?

Iceman60467

I read a lot about market and trends so I have a generally good idea what’s the trend and I understand that I’m too exposed to chip companies. Even if I will rebalance to QQQ and VOO I should make as much as the advisory firm . I will still have to pay the 1% advisory fee. That’s why I’m little skeptical. Do you think I should sell most of the tech positions and add to QQQ instead ? That’s my other idea

teamyg

Bulls are running out of steam, my QQQ shorts doing so far so good. 🐻🐻🐻

IllPresentation6939

Thank you I appreciate the advice👍should I sell out of all my QQQ and SCHD and move the money into 100% VOO or just leave it? And going forward put everything into VOO

IllPresentation6939

Admittedly that was a complicated read lol,I'm still very new to the stock and finance world.I have watched many vids on different funds and that's how I came up with the funds I did you do Mae a great point that the VOI and QQQ have a majority of the same companies which I didn't even consider 🧐

Cruian

I wouldn't use a single one of those funds. VOO comes closest, but I tend to prefer total market style over S&P 500 only. On including QQQ(M): Remember this has heavy overlap (over 80% by count) with the S&P 500 or US total market. Look only at the inclusion criteria, not past returns (as they’re a terrible way to judge future returns, at least in the way most people tend to believe). Do they make sense to you? Does it make sense to over weight these stocks based on the inclusion criteria of the index? They don’t to me, I view it as complete nonsense. On QQQ(M) and/or SCHD: * My take: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/16qosmi/including_qqqm_and_schd_in_a_portfolio/ * As Kashmir79 put it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/16qo9u8/comment/k1ynubb/ * As engineer-investor put it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/16qk8i4/comment/k1y480k/ * As Sea-Promotion8870 and ImaginationGreen3873 put it (read their comments from the entire chain): https://www.reddit.com/r/ETFs/comments/16e6rkb/comment/jzttlzx/ Consider this: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio The bonds are the part that adjust volatility level (if you really can stomach 100% stock, they can even be set to 0%, however not everyone is actually able to tolerate 100% stock). More bonds should equal less volatility. Alternatively, a target date (index) fund or target allocation (index) fund are effectively the 3 fund concept in a single wrapper, managed for you. They are designed to be "one and done," the only thing you hold. They're fully diversified internally for you. These can be found with expense ratios as low as 0.08%-0.12% for the Fidelity, iShares, Schwab, and Vanguard index based ones. The target date and target allocation funds typically are not recommended for taxable accounts but are fine for tax advantaged. VT (2 letters)/VTWAX would cover both stock roles in one fund. Did you happen to get your portfolio from YouTube?

IllPresentation6939

Got it,do you recommend I just all of the shares I do have and put them into another fund? Or leave them?additionally what funds do you recommend I invest in just VOO and QQQ?

Buy OTM puts on SPY and QQQ. Tuesday is going to be a blood bath. Look at VIX refusing to die for a hint.

Seeing these comments is sad honestly at your age and in university it'd be top ramen and I'd be trading my ass off. Hedge any extra money into VOO or QQQ and and enjoy the ride cause this is the age where you could lose everything a few times and it shouldn't even bother you. Anyways nice P&L dude.

Kept shorting QQQ at 606.2, what a deal.

QQQ literally up less than SCHD on the day. QQQ down 2% for the last 3 months. SCHD up 16%.

Go to that EMA on the 5 minute QQQ, let me load puts, subsequently crash, and then I will paint the the town and all of the villagers pure white like it's mf Christmas

brannock_

literally this happens every single Friday now. The MMs aren't going to let you make real profits, not when the zero-day options become so cheap that they can pin everything for 1/100 the cost it would be on any other day and then watch premium disappear down Trump's gaping butthole This is also why they're trying to add daily expirations on other stocks, not just SPY/QQQ. 0dte is anti-volatility.

Never seen QQQ up .3% with NVDA down 2% and the rest of the bag 7 red
