I have been DCAing many mineral mining stocks like HL, CDE, AEM and the like. Recently got into energy ETFs like PHO and VDE. also WM is always good to DCA in my opinion. That said, I decided to sell all my tech stock (42 NVDA and AMD, RIGHT before the AMD spike over $200=(....... But I moved a lot of that capital into my Robinhood account where I've been DCAing all those I mentioned (and some I didn't) PLUS selling options on TSLL. Been getting 10%/month on average since August so.... Can't complain yet
The oil ETFs right now are generally all very similar, and way over indexed (IMO) on highly liquid large caps like Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, etc. For this reason I generally stay away from O&G ETFs and opt for individual stock selection. But, if you're just looking for an ETF for oil exposure you can go with XLE, VDE, IYE, etc. and get about the same thing in each one. Hope that helps!
$VDE and chill for a bit….jk
I really would not have 30% cash. If I were going to limit myself to 70% equity, I would probably put 25% in a 3 year TIPS ladder, or possibly make a ladder using closed end bond funds from iShares. [https://www.tipsladder.com/](https://www.tipsladder.com/) [https://www.blackrock.com/us/financial-professionals/tools/ibonds](https://www.blackrock.com/us/financial-professionals/tools/ibonds) For diversifying equity away from tech, I would look at some sector ETFs like financial services (IYF), energy (VDE), infrastructure (IFRA), or industrials (FIDU).
Yeah stick that shit in BND, VNQ, VDE, VOO, VXUS, and VB and just walk away, dividends alone will sustain her now. Idc how well you’ve done “trading” you will blow this account up if you keep at it long enough with your “strategy”
I have VOO VUG VIG VBR VDE VHT VBIAX MGC VTI and a-lot of Schawb, T Rowe Price, Fidelity, Janus, and a couple other M/F that the name escapes me. Vanguard funds with very low expenses along with Schwab would provide you with a great diversifacation.
An ETF like Vanguard's VDE will cover the industry. That may be a safer play then trying to guess which one stock will be the best performer.
Yep. And my VDE play of buy under 120 and sell above 130 shall work again. Works so well 3x a year. Have 500k in it. Gonna be a nice profit as oil runs up
Might be too late to get into oil. $VDE $ERX
Of course this happens when I just sold all my shares in VDE
Risks aren't gone. Buying gold (SGOL), Bitcoin (IBIT), international (VXUS), energy (VDE) The market recovered because the tariffs were removed/lessoned. Not because of good policies actually helping the economy. Many more bad policies on the horizon.
I had planned on entering energy in July with a split between VDE and ICLN to have clean and unclean energy. Definitely need to pivot somehow.
US, early 30s. Individual brokerage account aimed at long term horizon (have separate 401k heavy on s&p500). Please rate my ETF portfolio which currently has an even spread of the following. What can I do better? Any other market sectors I should look into? Thanks! XME XAR VIS VDE VDC VB VOO SMH IAUM SIVR
BRKB and VDE for the long term
vea. Europe is pissed at the US. VDE and CEG. Energy exposure and nuclear
Hi, GPT. Swing trading VDE is back on the menu.
My ChatGPT-picked portfolio is actually holding up pretty well today lol. 40% across BIL, DBC, GLD, and VDE is all green, only my core stock index fund is down
Agreed! I’m continuing to buy up on this dip of VDE. I think oil,gas,energy are about to have a very good 4 years!
I’d recommend focusing less on individual stocks like reddit, spotify, draftkings & etc. Instead focus on VOO or VTI, VB seems redundant if you’re investing in VOO or VTI. VDE is a great long term pick. Add a stable growing dividend index, SCHD or JEPQ are both great options.
Just buy VDE. Any energy stock will be 90% correlated with VDE and you're taking massive systematic risk buying a single name company.
My VDE is holding up nicely
To be clear, are you asking about information about actually performing the actions of oil drilling, or are you asking about information for companies that do such business? If you want to invest in oil you could always just pick an energy ETF like VDE, which currently has top holdings in Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, etc.
I just own VDE so I don't even have to worry about it.
First time trying BAC, VDE, DJT, TSLA
Not really what your asking, but I personally would just invest in a generalized energy etf if you want to get some focus on nuclear. Something like VDE. If nuclear performs well it would be included in the ETF, or be added when it starts performing well.
My RCL is hanging in there but probably red by morning. My VDE also holding in there. Might get a pump on gold in the morning if this all keeps up
to answer your question, it depends on each persons goals and risk tolerance. my advice, diversify, but at your age you could prob be like 60-80%+ in equities (i.e. VOO, VDE, etc, diversify across sectors after getting probably 50% into VOO)
I know it takes some of the fun out of it, but in the long run, the odds are against you beating VOO. Yes, VTI is great too (I have a large position in that as well), but VOO does seem to exceed it slightly even over longer time horizons. \[C[hart](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VOO/chart/#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--)\] On the other hand, if you want to have a bit more fun and tweak your allocations according to macroeconomic trends (or your own educated guesses), look into some low-expense sector ETF's, such as VCR, VGT, VDE, etc. (I prefer Vanguard because they're inexpensive and I'm used to them.) I recently bet on the lagging utility sector (VPU, XLU), and it seems to be working out nicely. And if you want to be aggressive, there's QQQ (or VGT). I also have a core position in BRK.B, which is kind of in a class by itself, although who knows what's going to happen post Buffett. I've been in the markets since 1988, and the more I learn, the greater my ignorance. Conversely, the less I trade, the better I perform.
XLE is superior in several ways: * Share price is lower, so even if swing trading shares and not even using options, I'd still use XLE * XLE has more option series (expirations) than VDE. * XLE options have better liquidity. As of this writing, the ATM Sep XLE call has a bid/ask of 1.79/1.82 while the ATM Sep VDE call has a bid/ask of 2.55/3.10. So XLE is both cheaper and tighter for spread. It also looks like VDE is nickel increment, whereas XLE is penny.
Thank you for the reply, Is there any reason why you would choose to purchase XLE over VDE? the only difference I see is Vanguards expense ratio is .01% higher
As others have said diversification is key. You can still hold your VOO, but then maybe diversify with a value midcap or small cap? And don't forget your overseas markets, and commodities. You can even do something in mining like PICK which beat a lot of other ETF's in the bad year of 2022. Or VDE for more energy exposure. And if you want further hedging against a tech crash, get a good aggregate bond or buy a few treasuries. There's lots of options.
Hello, Quick question as I am learning. I opened a Roth IRA earlier this year and started with VOO. I added NEE to it also but have mostly dumped money into VOO. Is it better to just have the one ETF to invest in for a Roth or should I add other stocks or other ETFs? I was thinking of adding some energy stocks or maybe the ETF VDE. I am getting a pretty late start on savings as I am 43 if that helps with advice. Thanks!
Sold some OTM puts on SPY, Microsoft, google, and VDE.
This would certainly be a Trump trade too. But to say that Energy and utilities are not up is a pretty limited view - $VDE up 60% over 5 years isn't too bad.
'I'm a pretty novice investor' 'I can be more aggressive'. Stop yourself now. You have money and want to gamble. That's all this is. For starters, SOXX and VDE (which has very bad performance history by the way) actually is a pretty aggressive allocation. You could consider QQQ or QQQM if you want a broader based allocation towards technology and growth but you're probably better off just DCAing in to SPY.
Swap SPY for VONG....get rid of VDE and put it into something else.
VDE / oil and gas for trump presidency?
VOOG, VB, VHT, VGT, VDE, NANC, KRUZ to name a few.
If you want to take broader strokes rather than targeting just single companies: * VDC - Consumer staples * VIS - Industrials * VDE - Energy * Treasuries
I think it’s worth it. All these comments talking about withdrawals and trade halting as if this isn’t a RETIREMENT ACCOUNT. You shouldn’t need customer service for your IRA because an IRA should be sitting in ETFs until the day you retire. In my opinion, that 3% for letting my IRA consisting of VOO and VDE at Robinhood instead of TDA for 5 years is nothing less than 3% free. That being said, unless you’re within 5 years of retirement OR you invest in things you shouldn’t be investing in with a retirement account, your situation is probably the same as mine and you should take the free money. I’ll even be crossing my fingers that in 5 years Schwab/ webull/ etc may have some sort of IRA promotion for free money then also and I’ll do that one too. It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to move all your accounts I still have my individual at TDA about to transition to Schwab because that is an account I actively trade and support may be important.
Short term I’d go heavier on oil, lighter on the gas. But there is good value in gas heavy for med / long term. Additional LNG won’t come online till 2025. You’ll see gas prices respond accordingly. I’ve got OXY, PR, EOG, CTRA, PXD, DVN, and AR. Plus 2 indexes: XOP and VDE. But I’m sure there’s others out there that might have more immediate upside. I’ve been in mine for just shy of a year.
Everyone here always focuses on specific companies. Team VDE here. I think it compliments my vtsax nicely.
You should check out sector ETFs as well. I would keep VTI and QQQ then get a couple of sector ETFs such as PHO or VDE to diversify.
I got excited when Vanguard started allowing partial share purchases of their own ETFs. I thought...surely I can now automate those too. But no, no you cannot. And I don't know why. Drives me nuts, because I also am heavy in VDE and you need 100k to have the mutual fund version.
Yes bigger and better-performing stocks are weighted more heavily, and as tech gets bigger in society, it will continue to do so. Can you picture a future that isn't dominated by technology? I would love to hear your vision if so. I mention past returns because, if my thesis of tech not going away in the future is true, then you should expect VOO to continue to outperform VDE or VDC. VOO isn't 100% tech or anything, and you can always readjust your positions if it keeps increasing its tech exposure beyond your comfort level.
VOO is becoming more dominated by mega-cap tech. Going 100% VOO is an extremely aggressive move, and many investors ignore this risk to their peril. Balancing out a smaller position in VOO with less volatile sectors, like VDC (consumer staples), VCR (consumer discretionary), VDE (energy), and VFH (financials) will result in a safer, more stable portfolio that will not crash if the megacap techs come back to earth.
I would advise setting up a Roth IRA if you're looking to buy S&P index funds for long term hold. You're contributing post tax contributions, but when you retire your gains over those years will not be taxed when they are realized. I use Robinhood for my IRA only because they offer a 1% match. It's not much, but it's something and it's free so I'll take it. I use a Schwab account to buy fractional shares of a few stocks, basically Mag 7 and VDE (vanguard energy index). I also use Robinhood to buy a little bit of BTC, ETH, and LTC. I only put a few % of my net income into it. I'm not saying what I do is the best or right, but it gives you an idea.

Just buy an energy ETF like VDE instead of trying to built your own portfolio.
AAPL MSFT GOOGL AMZN BRK-B Because when market recovers they lead the charge. I would also put some money in VDE. I placed that when Oil/Barrell was -37$ or something. I ended up buying VDE in bulk and I’m in the green ever since.
I donthis as well with VDE, ET etc. My rule is if its close to its low and provides a dividend I do it. As i am closer to retirement i am more conservative and would rater take a 2500 profit then risk a 1000k loss. I only do this with my play account and dont touch my 401 k which is mutual funds. Not a professional
First of all you’re doing great for your age! I didn’t even know what a stock market is when I was 17, yet alone 13. Secondly, my advice for you would be to cut down most of these stocks and stick with solid etfs such as S&P, VTI, VOO or QQQ. You can also explore sector etfs that focus on specific market segments such as energy (VDE), water (PHO) and many others. You have a great start in what you’re doing now. Good luck kid!
VDE. Because I'd much rather buy oil stocks right now than expensive tech.
This is a great time to buy oil related stocks.... Trading VDE. I always by when it hits around $110-114 and sell at the $120-124 mark, rinse and repeat. Makes for a great swing trade every 2-3 months.
Very interesting. I have never heard of VEEV. I will definitely check them out. Think it's too late to get in on them? Ya I am not a huge fan of Humana personally but I know there is quite a bit of volatility in the stock so I am just playing the swings. No other real investment thesis with it lol. Biotech is pretty risky but makes for some great swing trades. I wish you luck on that one. Recently started to experiment with swing trading VDE. It goes up and down quite a bit based off oil prices. So I usually buy in around the 110-113 mark and sell at 120-125. A pretty safe swing trade that you can take advantage of on a monthly basis.
This year? VDE, but not a lot. Biggest missed potential? Keeping money in a target date fund and not dumping it for VOO. Last 5 years of the vanguard 2055: 16.3%, VOO >200%, and VTI >103%
I have a little bit of XOM and 2% of my portfolio in VDE waiting for oil to be fashionable with the market again. It will happen and I am an evironmentalist, too.
VDE is how I play it. Sell when it hits 119-120 and buy when it goes below 115. So fucking predictable and can literally net a decent profit on a monthly basis.
Dump the SPHD. It's not remotely a peer of the others. As others have said VOO and VTI are very similar. No harm in having both but for your case probably just having VTI is better (tho if I had to choose for me I'd take VOO). PHO of course is a longterm no-brainer winner, but of course no one knows if the win wil be bigger than VTI going forward. VDE... there are lots of energy ETFs and while VDE is above average it has lagged a lot of the other choices like IEO and PXE. Don't just choose a Vanguard ETF if you use them. Take a look at all the competing energy ETFs. That have very significant differences.
Dividend focus: Earn compound interest by divident reinvestment. Sector bets: PHO & VDE - As the world population grows, I strongly believe water will be one of the scarce resources in the next couple of decades, rivers are drying up, tensions between some of the central asian countries are rising because of inaccessibility to water, climate change effects etc. Energy is a similar situation, we are very dependent on electricity especially now that we’re evolving into this “AI” driven world. Not sure I understand your third point/question.
VDE is a solid energy play if you want to diversify. This ETF bounces between $100-120 typically and makes for great short term plays
Well Russia has been ignoring the call to decrease along with some others. Waitjng for VDE to drop below a hundred hoping for 75 dollars a share.
I agree with the jobs. I also think that is part of thr problem. Too many open jobs. If I want employees I have to raise wages and prices to cover the wages. The issue I see is at the lower level those wages arent keeping up. I see inflation raising for the next 2 to three months then somehting will happen. I also think because of this the FED will raise the rate 1 more time this month. I also saw Buffett dump his oil stocks in another post. I stopped trying to guess individal stocks and hve been watching VDE.
I do a target date fund for 401k as well as some IRA contributions to it. I also have a separate IRA account that I put money into so far SCHD and VOO. I also put a small amount into three cryptos, BTC, ETH, & LTC. I then also have a separate broker acct that I am putting into Apple, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, and Tesla, and I also have a little bit of VDE. So far that's what I'm doing. There is overlap and I am okay with that. But I feel with my target date fund I am already pretty well diversified.
I don't know if I'm doing things right tbh but I have a target date fund for my 401k and also some for an IRA. I have another IRA acct on RH that I'm putting into VOO and SCHD, I put a little bit into BTC, ETH, and LTC, I also started a Schwab brokerage account that I have some VDE and will do Tesla, Amazon, Apple, and Google as by the slices. I think I'm also going to do Dow and Nasdaq ETFs in my IRA as well.
To back-test it I used the SPDR counterparts of those ETFs. Those go back to the late 90s. So I used XLE instead of VDE, XLK instead of VGT, etc. I had to remove VOX though, as XLC doesn't go back that far. Although I did do a 15 year backtest including VOX and it held well. I didn't, I'll check it out.
Agreed, my position in SPSM got absolutely HAMMERED today... Thank god for VDE to offset it lol
I'd probably just go with VDE. I imagine it would be a hard fight for new companies to replace the existing big players, who could also otherwise transition to renewable energy as it becomes profitable for them.
There is not a good all in one option. Best to sprinkle the best across a group: energy (XLE or VDE), Ag (DBA), gold (GLD or a gold miner etf). GSG gives you a bit of everything but is energy heavy.
Agreed. Its a cycle. You just gotta be patient with it. I hold VDE right now and the price is always going up and down $20 or so.... Thanks for the recs!
Long calls on VDE and VHE. Cash secured puts on AMZN. I know very little about anything, but it seems energy and health care profits are going up, and if amazon goes down and you get assigned stock, it's a solid long-term play. If folks think I'm wrong, I'd like to know why so I can reduce my positions.
I'm keeping 50% in SPAXX with cash sure puts on AMZN. Fidelity let's you earn interest on the cash even though it is collateral for the puts (currently 4.95 APR) 30% in stocks to hold long term. Mostly SPY, VDE and VHT. The rest I'm doing small weekly and 0DTE option plays for $1000 plays or less. My goal is moderate gains without risking blowing up the whole account.

This is what happens when people try to mix putting it all on black, vs thinking you're smart enough to do better placing exotic bets across a craps board. (Simple craps bets make the most sense for the majority of people.. like appl buy and hold) If youre going to gamble, then grow a pair and put in on a company strike+date. Buying NVDA at 550 Sept is a clear bet on their earnings, and will probably have the largest influence in the overall market for the next 3 weeks. Think it may not play out great? Then hold cash and wait for the pullback from one of the juggernauts and buy when they're a good value. Actual DD: There is a major difference in sectors this year. If you mistakenly look at the sp then it looks like the whole economy is doing great, but its not. Tech is. VGT shows this very clearly, especially when compared to their other sector funds like VHT, VCR, VDE.. Not all sectors have performed the same, so a bet on the sp now is obv averaging all of these, but why would you? Look at some of the fundamental indicators? Consumer spending (VCR) has seen a major pullback from its highs. The tech run-up led to a PE for nvidia of 220. MSFT and AAPL are usually in the 30-40 range. That's a massive premium pricing in way too much future growth which would need currently non-existing markets to beat. If the progression of this stuff is hardware, software, application, revenue, then we should be looking at companies that will be able to sell platform software (adobe, recruiting, salesforce), with things like commodities benefiting later from things like more efficient resource location and extraction. Go back to fundamentals of value (what is undervalued) and what has growth potential that has not yet been factored in? What adjustments to the current market would reflect that? Yeah, nvda may smash again (im called up) but its definitely over-valued, and its correction will bring tech back down to earth a little. The mitigation there is that profits of tech will probably go up as layoffs materialize on balance sheets. Not what I am doing: A trade I like is shorting the stock and buying calls. Etrade helps visualize how that plays out very well, and you make money as long as there's movement. **BUT**, the longer you hold the position, the more movement there needs to be. I wouldnt use that with QQQ because while tech may pull it down, other sectors may be the counter-balance that reduces overall movement. In general, Im staying away from this sort of trade now precisely because it seems like we're going into a sideways market while we figure out which direction to move in next, but that pause can be a week or 6.
Active DCA? Rebalancing portfolios? I would hardly say I am an active trader day trading... Just being proactive. And impossible to be up that without being in tech stocks you say? Really? Your math proves it is possible: 5% on a 5mil portfolio is $250k.... Highlights of my portfolio: VDE - great returns SCHD - great returns SPSM - great returns VXUS - solid returns VTV - solid returns BDJ and BUI - not a great return on appreciation, but did very well with dividends Bond funds - pretty break even in terms of appreciation, BUT the yield has been high, therefore solid returns. DEFINITELY possible.
> You got that reversed. Acquiring negatively correlated securities is in fact a form of *hedging*, and is just one of the many *methods* to achieve diversification. That is definitely not the *goal* of it. Two perfectly correlated securities offer no diversification. Diversification increasingly improves as you add securities with lower correlation (but still positive returns). While you can meaningfully diversify without perfectly negative correlation (which is good since the average market has beta correlation), purposely increasing correlation by buying targeted subsets of the market is plainly wrong. > Actually I'm not sure you understand what VGT or QQQ *is*. You know they don't just pick certain companies and stick with them right? You know they are automatically rebalanced to make sure **only** successful companies are in them in the first place right? Literally every market cap index does this. The problem is that QQQ and VGT create artificial limits on which winners they end up picking. In years where energy does very well, QQQ captures *zero* winners. In times where literally anything but tech does well, VGT fails to capture that. I agree with you that market cap funds are great for automatically picking winners, that's why I think it's absolutely moronic to decide to pick an etf that excludes the vast majority of potential winners in it. Especially since the people who buy it, thinking they are smarter than the market, will 100% dump VGT for VDE or VNQ of 10 years from now energy or real estate beat tech. I cannot say enough that people who think investing in these ETFs is better than investing in the total market are the absolute worst kind of investors who tinker themselves into negative alpha. > My entire point is that since we can't predict who will be the survivor, why not just bet on the ship itself that has a policy to throw off any dead passengers and replace them with fresh blood? Then invest in VT. What you're doing is investing in the ship that has a policy of throwing off anyone who wears glasses because they clearly could never succeed.
My VDE dividend will go from 11-12%.
Guess I'll hold my VDE stock, so far it's been a loss only
I bought a few VDE shares a while ago and it's down 5%. Do you suggest to hold it?
QQQ leans tech and consumer discretionary, which is most of the index, sans energy and financials. Its a perfectly reasonable holding to reduce exposure to those industries that have been [comparatively lackluster for almost 20 years.](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&timePeriod=2&startYear=1985&firstMonth=1&endYear=2023&lastMonth=12&calendarAligned=true&includeYTD=false&initialAmount=10000&annualOperation=0&annualAdjustment=0&inflationAdjusted=true&annualPercentage=0.0&frequency=4&rebalanceType=1&absoluteDeviation=5.0&relativeDeviation=25.0&leverageType=0&leverageRatio=0.0&debtAmount=0&debtInterest=0.0&maintenanceMargin=25.0&leveragedBenchmark=false&reinvestDividends=true&showYield=false&showFactors=false&factorModel=3&benchmark=VFINX&portfolioNames=false&portfolioName1=Portfolio+1&portfolioName2=Portfolio+2&portfolioName3=Portfolio+3&symbol1=QQQ&allocation1_1=100&symbol2=VFH&allocation2_2=100&symbol3=VDE&allocation3_3=100) Obviously the past doesn’t indicate the future, but I don’t see a compelling bull case for either.
I bought some VDE (energy stock) and VFE(financial stocks) weeks ago. Any thoughts if I should hold or sell them?
For example, what about VDE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) or IXC (Global Energy ETF)?
