How Do You Make Your Regular Buying Contributions?

Generally speaking, you have one or two cores that could be VOO, VTI, or, if you want a bit more control, something like VOO and VEU. Then, depending on your risk profile and goals, you can add 10-30% of your total asset allocation to tilts. This could be some sector-specific ETFs, small caps, em markets, alts or even single-name stocks. Tilts will require more research and a more active management style, as they may not work in all markets. When your core should be pretty much set and forgotten.
left US at 1/1.1 mil in May 2021 to canada. basically didnt add anything to it. coasted. left for SE Asia 10 months back. now its at 2.1. just took out 40K to pad a 2-3 yr emergency fund when we do actually retire, retire. but coasting is so easy right now. may just let it double one more time over the next 7-10 years. Stuck to our guns VOO/VTI/VTI/VEU ... lots of overlap. don't care, haven't looked at percentages. likely staying that way? May switch more to VT in retirement accts.
You're fine. That won't cause a wash sale. Another example is being able to sell VXUS to buy VEU without issue
Long term, this all inflationary, likely weaking US dollar too. VXUS is a good place to start. VEU, VNQI too. I suspect the Hormuz transit taxes will be highly negotiable.
Right. Strait of Hormuz should affect $VEU more than $SPY.
$VEU, all word ex US, is up 4.25%. back to regular scheduled programming of foreigners dumping our shit and buying their own. ironically, this makes US way less sensitive to market tacos (probably already a factor in the Iran episode), and incrementally allows the Warlord to make new moves.
Hoping the flow of some foreign ships helps the international stocks, eg $VEU I think spy is uninvestable right now unfortunately
A few months ago I started doing more international (VEU), but I'm still primarily in S&P just automatically.
Strongly recommend VEU over SPY
yeah the s&p 500 being 1/3 mag7 made it seem no longer like a diversified investment and I decided to make my yearly retirement contributions to VEU
> plan Waiting for one of those buy anything moments. Not here yet. > What to buy Gold, corn, VEU, value oriented stuff
VEU outperforming SPY and RSP bigly. back to regular scheduled programming I guess
Oh and I'm losing buckets of money in VEU too
$VEU has reached correction territory off the record high three weeks ago... all of the year's gains are gone
could have just $VEU and avoided the bullshit US rugpull. stupid, and greedy
1. Treasury Bond / ETF: SGOV 2. Gold / ETF: SGOL 3. S&P 500 / ETF: SPY 4. Ex-US World / ETF: VEU I would go into Treasury Bonds for now and wait till we reached the bottom with the Iran fiasco.
VEU, all word ex US etf, down to prices last seen on January 9th of this year
I will laugh if Redditors all got onto the wrong side of the VTI/VEU boat at the bottom.
int'l pumped off the lows. $VEU, $VEA
Bight VEU about 10 minutes ago. International should outperform if this was the day's price bottom
Still sideways from 3m ago, you good. And a lot of things underpriced right now. Maybe dont buy SPY, but discounted software companies maybe? Or international etfs thay have been doing great but took a hit recently? Plenty out there to buy. Try B, ZTS, XYZ, MU, Brazil or Mexico etf, VEU + IEMG + IDEV...
I'm not touching anything. Laughing because I just sold some VEU a week or two ago as part of my regular rebalancing. Who would've guessed "sell high, buy low" works.
Overseas markets are getting crushed and VEU is down 5%. I just bought the dip because these downward moves usually reverse during and after wartime
A few tickers for you to consider; most are "value" from a "I think the Friday close was a reasonable entry point" rather than low P/E or small-cap value but, FWIW, I have positions in all of the below. - LUMN - Lumen Technologies. Enterprise fiber (legacy phone line provider) that I think/hope is on a successful turnaround path. I first entered <$2 a few years ago and had been trimming a large position...but I picked up more when they dipped following earnings earlier in the month. I think this is a $10-15 stock in 2026. - HEI, Heico Corp. Aerospace/defense component provider that unexpectedly dipped following an earnings beat last week. Heico makes the components that keeps the Air Force/Navy flying, and I think they're going to continue to run with all of the military deployment activity. Every hour of flight time eventually translates to revenue for HEi. -TXT, Textron. Industrial/Aviation conglomerate (best known brands include Cessna and Bell) with a very interesting defense business; I particularly like what they're doing with drones. P/E still under 20. - VEU, Vanguard ETF- all World not including US. This (plus a ton of commodities) is my play on the US debasement trade. I also have EWJ (Japan), FLKR (South Korea), AFK (Africa), and EPU (Peru) as specific country/region ETFs. - NVO, Novo Nordisk. Huge growth as the first GLP-1 provider...I think they're oversold now as the market is afraid of competition. This is a recent entry for me; they're now at pre-GLP 1 prices, with a P/E ~10. All that said, I think value is hard to find right now...but the current volatility makes for a lucrative (but risky) environment for swing trading.
I have both VXUS and VEU in different accounts, similar performance.
Everyone's mentioned VXUS already. I personally use VEU
General? VEU which is the old sibling to VXUS. Lower expenses and usually has had slightly higher returns (past performance no guarantee of future performance, of course). The former has a bit less % wise in the smaller small caps. ..
It’s a poor decision if OP wanted the best return at a great price per the provided reasoning (better talent and better valuation). OP didn’t state they want to be diversified globally… OP said they wanted to own companies with the best talent and went on to say the US doesn’t. Then further implied international has better talent and better value. Why would you place more than half your bets on “worse” choice (ie US per OP reasoning). VXUS, VEU, VEA all great international choices that are diversified too. The “great choice” would have been to go 70% VXUS and 30% VT. Everyone is ragging on OP bc the action (ie picking VT) isn’t consistent with the emotional claim, just shows how clueless OP and apparently you are 🤷♂️
This goes to show you that it is all about revenue… a consumption tax. This move is useless in trying to secure trade deals. We should all, at least, be 35% invested in VEU or similar.
VXUS and VEU my beloved. Everyone else wins when we shoot ourselves in the foot.
Why not just add VEU or ACWX in addition to SPY?? That will give you all world without selling
Such as vxus? I’m sure there are bad companies internationally too. Or is the top X a good enough compromise?, in that case VOO and VEU would be good if small caps are more likely to be fraudulent
Yeah, that’s what I’d assumed, but in the presentation I watched he seemed to say that when the S&P was negative, you moved to bonds regardless of VEU. I watched it a couple times to try to get a clear understanding, but I still might have missed it.
When both the other ETFs are negative. That’s one of the momentum’s in “dual.” Absolute momentum and relative momentum. If neither VEU nor SPY have positive relative momentum, you stick it all in a safe haven like BIL until they do.
VEU, vanguard all world ex US, is at 96.57 RSI on the all time chart. there is no where to hide.
My exact setup with Fidelity CMA! I DCA weekly/biweekly into VOO/VEU/ONEQ/VYM + SGOV holds my Efund. Reinvest dividends. This account would be my first to be liquidated if I ever needed cash for anything like a big purchase, business opportunity, or partial retire hopefully 17-20 years out.
VEA or SCHF if you don’t want EM included. VEU if you want EM included at market weight. Even though performance is virtually identical to VXUS I prefer it because it omits small caps. I don’t trust that small caps in EMs are audited and for shareholders to get their fair share. In fact, I don’t think that’s true for large caps either which is why I largely buy VEA aside from a small bit of EM exposure with some VT. I am a big fan of VTI/VEA and would recommend a 60/40 DCA on automatic investment to anyone
VEA, VEU and a variety of international focused etfs are pushing into 90s on RSI on the 5 yr. sold those positions today
I've been using VGK. I've also been looking at VEU but haven't looked at it enough to move anything into it yet.
VEA / VEU woop woop
VXUS and VEU smoking SPY 🤌
VXUS is big, and iShares offers their IXUS with less small cap. Also VEU is similar to VSUX and IXUS but with even less small cap (nothing against small cap, but for strict mkt share portfolios, it really does not really affect anything). There’s other choices like iShares ACWX that covers non U.S. large to mid cap but the fees are a bit higher. Another idea is dividing non-US into “developed” and “emerging” like iShares IDIV and IEMG respectively, or Vanguard’s VEA and VWO. Should keep with a MSCI or FTSE index. Mine are 4:1 SGDW at 0.03 er with SCHE at 0.05 er (SPDR and Schwab), .. though I do this to just get cheap non-US large-to-mid caps (no geopolitics, though I like having Korea as a smaller % of DW, FTSE’s developed category, instead of MSCI’s emerging mkt category). Why? I’d rather have expenses working on tracking large to mid cap instead of small caps which won’t really move the needle, but I digress.
I use VEU. It and VXUS function pretty much the same, but VEU has .01% lower expense ratio. That's effectively nothing but might as well.
added to $VEU, all world ex US, and $PHYS at close. will continue to outperform spy / qqq
added to $VEU, all world ex US, and $PHYS at close. held $IBIT baggies
I'd throw in some world ex US. VEU
not a bad idea to be honest $VEU in general
VEA / VEU / PICK a bunch of country etfs too, look on the ishares website for tickers like EWW, EWZ, ILF, etc etc
https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1qvdyax/is_switching_from_voo_to_vxus_a_good_idea_for_a/ My personal thoughts: https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1qvdyax/comment/o3hpjg4/ From another poster: >"i sold my entire VOO stake back in 2024 when trump won again....didnt look back, 50% went into VEU, 50% went into SLV.... turn out quite well >I kept my VWRA >past 1 year performance >SLV +168% >VEU +33% >VWRA +22% >VOO +15%" r/investing is heavily optimistic on US prospects which I believe reflects a fairly heavy US-centric narrative due to the userbase. However, I think you can do well to observe macro sentiment examples in non-US dominated communities (below examples from r/AskEurope): https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/1qj36zs/do_european_organizations_actually_track_which/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/1qi6m53/how_difficult_is_it_to_find_genuine_made_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEurope/comments/1qptwrj/do_eu_citizens_feel_more_european_recently/
OP, no need to invest in US stocks if you feel the US is too risky (I think it is). Plenty of ETFs to consider, such as VEU, VXUS, IXUS, etc. I'm big into XIC, which is a top choice for Canadian market exposure.
i sold my entire VOO stake back in 2024 when trump won again....didnt look back, 50% went into VEU, 50% went into SLV.... turn out quite well I kept my VWRA past 1 year performance SLV +168% VEU +33% VWRA +22% VOO +15%
VTI virgins vs Chad VEU
As far as indexing, VEU over VOO/SPY for the next couple years
Diversify. Balance us stocks with VEU, perhaps even some gold and silver. I think the fact is clear, the deficit ain't ever getting smaller. As it gets bigger and bigger, US will have to print more and more money, devaluing the dollar. The last thing I would want to hold is cash. At least US stocks should increase with inflation. But I get what you mean, total concentration in US market sounds risky right now.
int'l stocks $VEU, $VEA, are booming
VEU ETF contains no US stocks VT ETF contains global stocks including US Can't sit on cash or treasuries and I've read that previous metals ETF are not good enough because they might be margined. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Would love to see if there's anything other than buying coins.
In this case she was right. The doofus in charge has threatened and bullied the world so now they’re selling off US treasury bonds, the dollar is plummeting, and VEU is outperforming VOO.
VOO is a solid choice—it’s essentially a bet on long-term U.S. growth. However, based on 2025 performance so far, the U.S. hasn’t been the top-performing market. A weakening dollar has been a headwind, and gold and silver have significantly outperformed VOO this year. Personally, I’d allocate 60–70% to VOO and QQQ, 15–20% to gold as a hedge, and the remaining 15–20% to top global ETFs like VT, VEU, and IXUS for international diversification.
That’s when his chair ends. His governor position is up in Jan of 2028 I recall. Traditionally they resign with the chair but there is no obligation. There are also shenanigans where the 12 governors votes him back to chair. Foreign stocks in local currencies are unhedged against the dollar. Like VXUS or VEU.
VGK to my understanding is priced in USD. VXUS and VEU are in local currencies. As the USD declines, you maintain wealth in local currency priced equities.
VXUS/VEU ftw. Ride the tide of debasement and repatriation of capital.
VEU if you are more a fan of blue chip foreign equities. VAW for commodities, or if you can afford it, VMCDX for one with energy exposure (still priced in USD though).. VNQ for real estate including data centers. PHYS and PSLV for direct metal exposure to avoid nasty taxes. Just trying to help people preserve wealth.
I’m trying to feed the weights in a portfolio analyzer. But these tickers are not recognized hence curiosity on why. For example VWRP - if it’s all world etf - if it’s ex-US then normal sec would be VEU or VFWAX - if it’s total world then VT or VTWAX So how did you get the VWRP option?
VXUS or VEU are close to what you are describing.
You can convert your target date to other assets. I moved into 70% VOO and 30% VEU after a certain executive order removed some guard rails from target date plans.
I'd suggest VEU ETF and GLDM... Seeing the DXY is falling a lot and the US dollar as reserves of the world central banks is going to be below 50% by the end of 2026 and 46% by 2027 by IMF estimates and then by the end of the decade will be around 40%. The big winners of this will be gold and non-USA for the next decade plus US P/E ratio is almost 30 and whenever it goes above 23 P/E the largest private bank in the world JP Morgan says the USA enters a lost decade of 0% or even negative returns for a decade.
Huh, TIL that one exists. I'm long VXUS. It looks like VEU is primarily developed markets, VXUS has that plus emerging markets and small caps. So maybe a parallel would be SP500 vs Russell 3000.
I get that. I also think the US stock market has a lot of cope propping it up right now. Eg; AI hype will save everything, tariffs are just negotiating tactics, institutions will hold, courts will check executive overreach. Investors are still betting this is temporary theatre rather than structural rot. Time will tell if that’s optimism or denial. Meanwhile Non-US ETFs (VXUS/VEU) are Up 32% over the past 12 months. S&P 500 (VOO): Up 18% over the past 12 months. anyone that’s divesting x amount away from US right now for moral/political/ethical or whatever other reason is smart and simply hedging their bets. Let’s not underestimate how much of world is doing this right now. Time will tell. Midterms will tell, If he figures out a way to suspend elections.
Justifying buying more stonks to Chat GPT as it continues to tell me the most “high IQ” move is to put 5k in VEU
Vanguard World Ex-US. $VEU.
During Trumps first term, when we were having these same conversations: SPDR 80% gain VEU 47% gain In Trumps first year(2017), the VEU beat the S&P by 6% but I'm sure this time it's different....
What comments do you expect from a US-centric website bro. Just invest in VEU
As Canadian I sold my entire US ETF allocation earlier in 2025. I now hold: VCN - Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF VIU - Vanguard FTSE Developed All Cap ex North America Index ETF For those Americans that want to optimize their portfolio. I recommend: VEU - Vanguard FTSE All-World ex US Index Fund ETF returned 31.52% in the past year S&P 500 only returned 16% in the last year.
Tickers? VEU and VXUS? Commodities and metals?
Move some to international blue chips too, in local currencies. VEU for example.
Oh you want to be holding assets 100%. Personally I've tried to diversify my accounts to offset major downside risks, while raking in gains from precious metals. I'm holding VEU, IAU/GLD, GLTR, mining companies, S&P index funds, SCHD, defense etfs (including foreign ones like KDEF and EUAD), BRKB, SOXX, and large cap growth mutual funds.
You need international diversification like what VEU offers.
VOO and VTI don't make that much sense together. As a pick one, they are both solid options however there's significant overlap between the funds. Just look at the holdings for both and you'll find common US large cap companies. VOO and VEU makes a lot more sense. VEU is the ex-US world etf. VTI is total world, so including US.
VEU doesnt have small caps, it's VOO for international. VXUS is VTI for international.
What's the difference between VXUS and VEU?
You can. If you want a sort of SP500 (SPY/VOO) but for the rest of the world you have VEU.
I agree 100% USA is risky, we don't know if the next 30-50 years during our investment careers if we will see the same returns (even though I highly think we will) so I don't agree with 100% VOO. I do hold about 20% international (VEU), 40% SP500, 5% small caps (RSCC), 5% mid caps (IWS), 20% AGG Bonds (Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) and 10% in the FTSE 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index, I always hold cash so I can invest 10% when the market corrects 20% like when Trump handed us a good deal with his tariffs (I call it Market reaction, not timing) for example, I deployed my 10% cash during that tariff tumble. Essentially I am 70/30 but will go to 80/20 if market gives me a 20% correction. Although my 70/30 may underperform VT and chill slightly, the less drawdown and ability to deploy cash at 20%+ corrections narrows the gap. We are pretty much neck and neck if you go back 15 years, and I have a lot of diversification to help ease the path to 1 million+ which is my goal, and the less severe drawdowns are such a huge differentiator, it helps to keep investing with confidence. But you do you, I am merely explaining my choice, not telling anyone to follow me.
Biggest gains were from precious metal etfs, NEM, RKLB, GOOGL (bought after April dip, still undervalued imo), VEU, defense etfs (EUAD, KDEF), RNMBY (bought early in year and sold in the summer), and COF. Also swing traded LULU for solid profit in the fall. Biggest loser this year was NVO but I'm bullish on it in the medium term
That is true. VOO is tech heavy even though not as bad as QQQ. There's RSP which is equal weighted S&P500 which has not gone up as linearly as VOO in the past five years, but is surely going up on a longer time horizon. Another option is to have some exposure into international equities but they have not done well at all (take VEU for example). Or like you mentioned, we should pick and choose assets and allocate and manage manually. These days, even GLD is not a bad idea.
RemindMe! 1 year So you're saying GLD and VEU will outperform SPY in 2026? That's bold. What other tickers are you predicting when you say 'certain sectors'?
OP's numbers are actually correct if you actually look up the ETFs yourself (VEU vs. SPY). This guy is wrong and upvoted massively.
> however; I started wondering at what age should I start diversifying into safer/more diversified investments such as international ETFs (ex. VXUS, or VEU) Or even bonds? International equity you should be in now. International divserification is a huge advantage to you, despite recent underperformance. Bonds you can wait for many years there is no harm with 100% stock. When your portfolio starts getting big enough that the portfolio's gains are far larger than your annual contributions you can move towards 80/20 (20% bonds). As you get near retirement you can be somewhere between 80/20 and 50/50. Near the start and end of retirement (death) are when bonds will be most important; the middle 80% you can have a lot of stock. FWIW the mortality credits in annuities allow you to cut your bond allocation and anti-correlate with longevity risk so when you get there seriously consider annuities. But that's decades off. If you start to own a business or have some reason you'll need lots of taxable fixed income for many years then consider permanent life solutions. You must learn how to have a policy properly configured for accumulation and minimum commission or it is likely to do terribly. Otherwise you can use a little bit of bond type stuff for short term savings and mostly not worry about it.
An option would be to keep both, and buy in to VEU or something similar for a broader reach and balance. Also could always add in BND (depending on age and risk allocation.)
There are tax implications though. I have well into the 7 figures portfolio with about 40% gain currently. Lots of different tickers that are part of VOO and VEU. But quite tech heavy. Same as OP, afraid to sell lately since usually when I did it was the wrong move. Any best practice on rebalancing into a more broad portfolio in a tax optimal way? I mean I have some ideas but it would be great to hear from others as well...
Depends on how much risk you want to take on. You can't really go wrong with long term holding VOO/VTI, or if you want international exposure, some combo of VOO + VXUS/VEU or just VT
