solid. clearly concentrated so more volatile \[than VGT\], but a responsible ass way to play ai hardware vs all tech.
At 21? VGT. If you do buy individual stocks, buy 1-2% of your total portfolio. New investors usually don’t have the stomach for volatility that some individual stocks have.
This is how “time in the market not timing the market” compounds gains. VGT will likely 8-12x over the next 10 years.
VOO is great. I recommend VGT over QQQ long term because its a much lower expense ratio. Stick to low cost index funds unless you want to get really into investing and having it take alot of your time and effort. I would also look into a VOO/VT split, so you can hedge against the US (just in case). I also recommend coming up with % of your income that you can invest and automating it so you can set and forget.
100%. I am a US citizen living in the EU, and due to tax and accessibility constraints, I am basically limited to single stocks, so I have a basket that I hope will mimic something like VGT or VOO.
Just go 100% VGT then, right? That’s all of those AI concentrated bets + more tech in case you missed a few.

If it was me, I'd put $1m into VOO, $500k into VGT (yes I know the overlap) and $300k broken up into my favorite individual stocks (RKLB, NBIS, MRVL).
Put $100 into each of three hundred penny stocks. Two or three of them will go 10x. Sell them as soon as they do and put $100 into two or three new penny stocks. Take the profits and put them in VGT.
There is zero reason to do VGT and QQQM. The overlap is huge but the fees on QQQM are higher than VGT and its performance is also less than VGT.
I have a 4-pronged approach to investing: “own the market”, momentum, growth, tech. VOO is “own the market”; QQQM is growth (not pure like SCHG). You may want to consider momentum and tech. Here’s a good starting point: 30% VOO / 30% SPMO / 25% QQQM or SCHG / 15% VGT
I manage my sons IRA and have him in the following. I prefer vgt over nasdaq based on personal preference. VTI 49.9% VGT 26.2% VXUS 17.6% DRAM 4.0% EMEQ 2.4%
QQQM is pretty tech heavy (just like VGT). With the tech over lap from VOO, you don't really need both. FYI, don't base investing decisions based on only AI.
Yeah I made a mistake. I meant the VGT, not VTI. I edited my post.
You could buy VGT, Vanguard information technology fund ETF. Apple is 16% of the fund, which also includes Nvidia and Microsoft among some other big names. It had a recent 8 : 1 split and is currently at $120 a share. It also pays a quarterly dividend. It's an affordable way to get some marquee names in your portfolio. It was the best advice my broker gave me in 2013.
I’m new to investing, I have realized that my portfolio has too many stocks with too little invested into it. If I want solid returns in 5 years without taking on too much risk, which of my stocks should I put $1,500 into?

Have you already maxed out your IRA this year? If not, move $7,500 into your Roth IRA and do a 70/30 split between VTI & VGT. If you already did that, then invest 5k in VGT. Move the remainder (either 37.5k or 40k) into VMFXX. Treat the VMFXX account as a fully funded 1 year emergency fund. Some folks say as little as 3, others say 6 months. But having a full year already funded, I’d just lock it in and collect interest from Vanguard. Having gone through a layoff, it makes it much easier to sleep at night. Every few months, sweep out a few hundred you gained from VMFXX and invest into VTI in your traditional brokerage. Now just focus on maxing your 401k contributions.
VGT or DRAM, what is the better buy and hold?
Should I DCA into DRAM or VGT? Obviously Vanguard tech index would be the safer option, but memory balance sheets look really good.
No. Stop trying to trade and follow a sound strategy investing in broad market ETFs like VOO and VGT.
Fair point, I picked up some of those for my son today actually as he just has a couple of grand to invest. I’m hoping these 5 would beat that index though, with a focus on the monopolistic businesses but I don’t know how much of VGT they’d make up. MP probably the only one with real 5 bagger potential but I’m hard placed to imagine a reason why the others wouldn’t at least double in 5 years and more likely triple.
Maybe just VGT and chill? Might not hit 3x in 5y, though. For reference, SMH hit just about 3x over 5y but I don't know that was seen as a sure bet 5y ago.
It is a good and relatively safer advice if you don’t want to spend time and energy to pick stocks for long term investment. I would even say if you are young and have steady income for the long term and can tolerate volatility, putting money into SMH or QQQ or VGT may be a better choice. I wouldn’t say VOO is the best advice. Just my 2 cents. NOT A RECOMMENDATION.
Currently VOO & VGT and chill, im in this subreddit to see the chaos and destruction 😂
Switching my 75% VGT portfolio over to VOO in early 2030 then. Thanks for the heads up!
it's my opinion that VGT is the perfect vehicle for investing in AI companies.
hold some VGT in your roth my man. that roth is your longest time horizon bucket.
That’s pretty much what I do with VGT.
I’m holding QQQ, VT, VGT, SOXX and UPRO how regarded is this?
That's a lot to keep up with. VGT or XLK would cover most of your positions in a single etf. GPIQ/GPIX is superior to JEPQ/JEPI. VTV, SCHD, or SPXT covers the blue chips.
It’s good if index investing such as 100% VGT which is purely tech.
Yup - an ETF like VGT (Vanguard's Tech) absolutely destroyed compared to SPY.
You don’t have to beat the market. 75-80% of all active portfolio managers cannot beat the market, that’s fact. Just invest in the market ie VOO and VGT/XLK in a 70-30% (VOO 70%, VGT 30%) and leave it for 20 years. Make sure you have enough emergency fund to dip into in case of emergency so you never have to sell in a crash, the index will recover and make new ATH.
I did this for VGT and it’s paid off
75% of my portfolio is tech/AI plays. My googl was down a little, VGT barely down, FIX, GEV up, SMH up, big biotech day for me.
I don't know how you're so down in an up year. My portfolio has been spiking since april thanks to VGT/QQQ/SPY, you know....the standard
There's no guarantee your list will outperform for the next 3 decades. If it were me, while remaining at a low tax bracket, sell just enough that keep myself under a specific bracket. If selling will trigger taxes on your parents, help pay it. The first to go are the non-tech smaller names like MA, ROBO, EW, XPO, shifting them into some ETF like VOO or VGT. I prefer to let AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT run and monitor once evey few months.
DRAM is the only ETF I own right now. I also had SOXX earlier this year, but sold it all in June. I'm currently considering buying VUG, but having a bit of a hard time coming to a final decision. I'm torn between VUG, SCHG, VGT, QQQM, MGK, and FTEC. There are way too many choices for my liking lol
Here is a big one... Hi everyone, I'm trying to grow two accounts as much as possible. I don't have a taxable brokerage. I have a 401(k) in a target date fund which I contribute through my employer to get the full company match. I have a traditional IRA which I moved from one brokerage to Fidelity just so it's all under one roof. I'm not worried with the trad. IRA as I'm just letting it grow. The two accounts I want to build are my Roth IRA and my HSA. I have a Roth which I started with $600 about a year ago and haven't really touched. I have an old HSA that I **can't** contribute to because I'm not enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). I would like to try to grow both as much as possible. SO... I am going to start maxing out the Roth (catch up on this year to the limit and continue to contribute throughout next year going forward) and just leave the HSA money to grow. Initially, I used Google AI (just the basic search AI, not Gemini) to help pick ETFs for each. It narrowed down about 60+ options that I was interested in to these: Roth IRA: SCHD 30%, DGRO 20%, JEPI 15%, JEPQ 15%, SCHY 10%, VNQ 10% HSA: SCHG 50%, SPMO 30%, VGT 10%, SOXX 10% I worked with the AI a little more and it advised that for tax efficiency / advantages, to SWITCH or flip flop the holdings between the accounts (sell the 6 positions in the Roth and purchase them in the HSA and vice versa). Now, they've been doing well as is. Would I be gaining anything tax advantage-wise by flipping the holdings, or should I just leave everything be? I'm pretty confident in the AI fund picks since they were just narrowed down from my own list (using metrics such as low expense ratios, low stock prices, good dividends, etc.), but I want to grow these accounts as much as possible, be as tax-advantaged as possible, in order to sit comfortably in retirement (year 2050). Thoughts? I'll answer any questions not addressed as I've already made this post pretty long.
Once I finished my 6 month emergency fund, I went all in on ETFs. If I were back to 22 yrs old, I'd take advantage of the time I have to ride out volatility and dip a bit deeper in tech. Something like a 70% SP 500 or FTSE All World and 30% in some tech sector ETF like SOXX snd VGT. Sorry I'm not aware of European ticker symbols.
Last month SP500 +3% VGT +2.6% SEMI -5%
QQQM: SCHG: SPMO: VOO: VGT: SCHD: Lots of overlap
I went 50/50 approx 20 years ago. As you can imagine, both investments are doing great but the tech heavy side has outperformed by a large number. No idea what the future will hold but my bet remains the same; AI companies will likely grow in to cash cows from cash burners. VTI + QQQ (or VGT) with equal weighting is a good play.
It depends what THEIR goals and risk tolerance is. If they prefer safety, ladder some bonds or use a high yielding money market for a chunk of their assets. If they prefer steady income, set up an income portfolio for them. If they can tolerate risk and don’t need monthly income, but can handle a draw system, you can use my plan. With $2M, they can safely spend $80k (4%) per year as a starting point. I’d set aside 4-5x that in order to make sure they wouldn’t need to draw down from their equities during bear markets or crashes. So $400k in either laddered t-bills or a high yield savings or money market. Then the other 80% is invested in equities, namely VOO, or VTI with a small percentage in SPMO, QQQ or VGT, or any combination thereof. This will provide growth over time. You sell equities to replenish the 5 year cushion fund during flat or up years, and just draw down on it during years when the market is down, replenishing it when the market recovers. The beauty of the system is that over time, the 4% annual spending money increases with the performance of the market which should more than cover inflation. The potential drawbacks, it will require a more hands on approach to refund the slush account annually and could lose value if the market goes through an unlikely abnormally extended bear market lasting more than 5 years. But they have to be okay with the plan and taking that level of risk. Will they freak out if the market and thus the value of their portfolio drops 20-30%? Will you be able to handle that feeling in the pit of your stomach? We never know when a market correction or bear market will come or how long it will last. But history tells us that at some point it will. Just factor that into your decision making process
According to Morningstar, SPCX has a sector of "Industrials". They should not be included in an ETF that buys only stocks in the "Information Technology" sector, such as VGT.
PLTR or VGT and chill.
Not just them, VOO,, VGT, NVDA, TSM, CBRS all making similar charts
Roth IRA, every paycheck put 10-15% of it into VOO, QQQ, SCHD, and VGT… or spread that 15% across all of them. Max out your Roth IRA every year. When that is maxed out, do the same thing but under your normal stock accounts. A total of $10,000 right now into just VOO, should turn into \~$600k in 30 years if you don’t touch it, and much much more if you continuously add to it. Aim for $200/mo into Roth IRA if you’re making under $30k/yr, if you’re making $40k+ then aim for $500+/mo. By the time you hit 50, you should be able to quit your jobs and live off of the interest/dividends when combined with your retirement.
I buy a variety, I really like VGT, IXN, BAI, CHIPX, and UFOX as a core though. I wouldnt buy DRAM heavily right now specifically because memory is cyclical and it will probably end up crashing once the supply is resolved, and memory is covered by the broad tech.
if you wanna skip individual stocks but dont wanna be as boring as VOO at least do VGT and SMH of something that outperforms
27M, about $291k in total assets. Looking for advice on my portfolio. I make about 65k a year and my risk tolerance is high. Not married no kids and no debt. I'm trying to save for retirement. I currently have about $75k in my Roth IRA (80% VFIAX, 20% VGT), $129k in my TSP (75% S Fund, 25% C Fund), $2k in a brokerage (VTI/VGT), $10k in a HYSA, and $75k in crypto. My current plan is to leave the VFIAX I already own, but put future Roth contributions into VGT and possibly make the Roth 100% VGT over time. For my brokerage, I was thinking about just buying VTI going forward instead of adding more VGT. I would keep my TSP at 75% S / 25% C. I'm 27 and investing for the long term. I know I have a pretty aggressive portfolio, especially with the crypto and VGT. Does this allocation make sense? Would you change anything, especially the VGT/VTI/Roth strategy or the amount I have in crypto?
Qqq is a blunt tool. It's not diversified. Limits itself to companies listed on the NASDAQ. It has successful returns because of technology outperformancebut from a portfolio management perspective sp500 combined with a technology specific ETF like VGT gives you a more surgical way to tilt your portfolio.
If your in it for the long road, VOO is your safest bet bc it’s the stop companies in the US, not just tech focused or any other sector. Although tech makes up most of it right now, VOO adjusts as well. I do 50/50 VOO VGT and hope for the best in 30 years. There is some overlap, but I’m alright with it. I don’t see tech going away anytime soon.
How do you invest in the hottest sector of the hottest stock market this century and still lose money? Grab an index fund ETF, even VGT, QQQM or SMH. AI has made my early retirement possible, and I didn’t even have to pick the right companies. Just bought the market and sectors.
I know they say not to put required cash in stocks but I’ve kept roughly 40% of my cash to close savings in a mix of VOO SPMO and VGT - all held for years with long term gains. Went under contract on 07/27 and just liquidated today. Had to swear it out the past 5 days but I’m fortunate the gamble paid off
Only reliable way I’ve found to beat VOO was with VGT…. In a bull market
The risk is indeed higher, but the returns have been explosive. We all know VGT is a returns machine, and SMH has returned more than double VGT’s returns in the past five years.
**Ranking by 10-year Sharpe ratio:** **SMH** (2.45) **VOO** (1.38) **VGT** (1.33) **QQQ** (1.11)
While there’s definitely some income to the subordinate companies (launch, starlink .. the latter how MSCI classifies it as communications .. “alternative carrier”), most of the value is based on future tech (or as critics put it, tales on the future of tech that doesn’t exist yet). Launch is small and starlink isn’t scalable to dense urban areas, so it’ll be a sell on trying to get colonies in space (probably mining). Then Tesla still sells cars (that’s more a function of gas price) and probably more importantly all sorts of batteries. If actually selling Tesla’s Chinese operations, the thought is a merger may be attempted. My thought is he may try to combine the remainder as a general “tech” company for the big indexes but also tech sector ETFs .. VGT, FTEC, etc..
Using covered call funds like GPIQ for job loss protection usually backfires over a 30-year horizon. GPIQ sells call options to generate that 9% yield, which caps your upside during bull markets while keeping full downside risk in selloffs. That option income also gets taxed at ordinary income rates every year while you're working, creating heavy tax drag on growth you don't need yet.\\n\\nIf you want backup for job loss, it's cleaner to hold 3 to 6 months of expenses in a cash buffer like SGOV. That keeps your safety net liquid without forcing yield drag on your equities. Between the growth options, VGT locks you strictly into tech stocks, whereas SCHG spreads large-cap growth across healthcare and communication services too.
So you are saying to invest in SCHG instead of VGT?
1) investing behavior and consistency tends to matter more than fund optimization beyond a certain point 2) you will never arrive at a satisfactory answer, as the market could choose to favor either direction in the next 10 -15 years. 3) markets go through cycles. You have to decide if you believe in mean reversion theory for tech, or that multiples have expanded and will continue to do so. That said, I don’t love that VGT (a fund and own and believe in!) and GPIQ are that tech focused. Everyone thinks they can handle a -50% drawdown….until they have to….while reading doom on Facebook and cnbc. Also, I get that income today feels good. It’s a dopamine hit. But make you fully understand tax drag and covered call underperformance…not just one year but compounded over 10 years
VOO and QQQM are excellent picks for ETFs. You are very young and have lot of time to compound your savings. My advice would be to focus on increasing your earnings from your primary income source, save a certain percentage depending on the stage of your life into these ETFs every month, forever. If you want to slightly diverse exposure outside of large cap & technology, consider similar index funds covering other sectors. That should be good enough. Don't think about individual stocks or even worse, options trading. That's a lot of stress which takes away your focus from your life. Just excel at what you do, improve your income, save some and enjoy your life! P. S: For those suggesting individual stocks or searching for the next big hit, think about it, the index funds adjust their portfolio to include those best stocks and leaving out those underperforming ones for you, for a very small fee. Go through the list of stocks in a fund like VGT over the years, the set of stocks which form the fund keeps changing. Why spend a lot of time to read charts, pick stops, manage stop losses, tracking target etc for that extra few percentage gains when you can use that time to spend with your family or do stuff you love. Life is short! But if you say you love doing stock picking then do it by all means but it might not be suitable for everyone IMHO.
I am up $200 on VGT and down 6k on goog
At what point would VGT be re-labeled as a compensated risk? Historically it has done quite well. How much longer does it need to outperform to be considered compensated?
There have been cycles for sure. Cycles where small cap beats large cap. Cycles where VTI beats Voo. Also cycles where international outperforms the USA. But the most recent couple of decades, I believe Voo has out performed. They are close enough to be almost irrelevant though. Same issue as VGT, market weight balancing makes the holdings very similar. Unless you have a specific point or data point. I'll admit I don't have anything on hand right now but I was going off research I did a while ago and the graph matches up. [https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/voo-vs-vti/?r=MAX](https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/voo-vs-vti/?r=MAX)
>Also wondering when I should get out of VGT because I wanted to be a little aggressive while I'm still young. Sector bets are a form of uncompensated risk, which I would not consider aggressive. An uncompensated risk is one that doesn't bring higher expected long term returns. It should be avoided whenever possible.

I'm a total market style person, so I'd be using VTI or equivalents over VOO everywhere. Personally, 30% ex-US is my "floor" so I'd be compensating for the taxable being underweight ex-Us by having extra in the IRA (unless I was able to correct that easily).
Something to lead with every post on here really - The average top performing investors are dead people. You want to set it up where you set it and forget it. That means making things simple. Not too many stocks. Avoid overlap. Diversify a bit. Roth is good. Fill that first every time. After that, it depends on your plan. Do you want to retire early? Going FIRE changes all the picks. While young, I am personally of the opinion of zero bonds. You don't need those until you are 1-2 years out from retirement, if at all. **VTI** has no point. Similar to bonds, they will be safe during a recession, but at all other times, **VOO** would out perform. Every 1 year we spend in a recession, we have 5-10 growth years. It doesn't math out. And if you are not retiring, **VOO** will recover better within a few years. **Traditional brokerage** should be safe growth ETF's unless you are planning on **FIRE**. You get taxed on dividends and cannot sell/rotate without tax penalties if you wanted to attempt that. So whatever you stick in there, generally its something you never need to sell or collect dividends on until you are 60+. So it is best to do growth ETF's. FIRE changes things a bit in the brokerage since you stop working before all the traditional retirement programs come in to support you and you would not have access to your Roth. **Roth** you *can* get a bit wild on since its fine to sell as long as you leave the money in the Roth. Not saying you should but it is safer to play around in. So you can be more risky there. I would still recommend focusing on Growth/value ETF's. Later there is no penalty to sell it all and shift into other options. I personally prefer **SPMO** to **VOO**. Grows a bit faster, if there is a drop, it drops a bit more but the graphs I looked at say **SPMO** does outperform/recovers fine. In either case, **keep in mind there is a lot of overlap** between them and **VGT** so those are not exactly diversified choices. **VOO** and **VGT** overlap by about **71% by weight** and share 36% of their holdings by number of stocks. Investing in **VOO** and **VGT** is almost investing in the same thing. (**VTI** is in the same boat btw, lots of fund overlap. No point selecting it to have a different option from **VOO**). **I would currently count VOO, VGT, and VTI, as all the same thing. Pick one of them**. **VOO** and **VTI** will rebalance if tech stocks crash. Slightly smaller profit margin, a bit more safety. **VGT** can't rebalance because its tech only. **VGT** will have a better upside if tech does not crash but has a higher risk. I personally don't see NASA going up without a major tech breakthrough. We need asteroid mining before we get mass space adoption. All the money is in AI right now and we only got real space investment to one up people during the cold war. No other countries are trying to do anything cool in space so right now its all about - do we think launching more satellites will be enough to drag the stock price up. For me the Roth is- 70% SPMO 8%- individual stocks to play with. 20% VXUS - increased it from 10% as international stuff is happening which will require growth or they fall apart. 2% bit coin - I think its a scam but the scam has lasted a long time semi successfully so far so I am getting the ETF versions with a stop loss instead of directly investing. Brokerage- 90% SPMO 10% random stuff from when I was new to investing that I haven't sold because they seem to be doing okay. It's very boring. I don't see a reason to change it until i'm 10 years out from retirement.
If you decide to go with that plan, I would treat your combined fund as a single portfolio and allocate them to difference places to maximize efficiency: \- all of VGT should stay in Roth to capture the higher gain tax free \- all of VOO should stay inside brokerage to capture its tax-efficiency \- all of VXUS should stay inside brokerage since it historically underperforms \- Reallocate to match your desired allocation
In my Roth IRA, I do 70% VTI / 10% VXUS / 20% SCHG ….. and my wife does 70% VOO / 10% VXUS / 20% VGT in hers. Over 15 years, that’s done great for us. Pretty much the same setup in our brokerage accounts and Roth 401k’s
Since you are young, you'll be changing your investment strategy as you get older. I wouldn't sell VGT, as you probably have capital gains. Just start contributing to VOO and VXUS and Nasa only
My brother in Christ by all conventional metrics VGT \*is\* aggressive. Technically speaking even 100% VOO would be considered aggressive from a portfolio construction perspective. Also becoming "more aggressive" is the opposite of diversifying, it implies you're concentrating more seeking outsized returns(alpha,) versus the index(beta.) 30% VGT is a massive tilt towards growth already.
Remember that... I'm holding 100 shares of MSFT along with about 1000 shares of VGT. We both want them to beat no doubt.
Sorry guys. I bought 500$ of VGT and VTI. Its going down right after.
70/30 split between VTI & VGT. The end.
I'll never be wealthy by your standards, but I will be financially independent before normal retirement age. I will also likely never buy an individual stock. Over the past 5 years, my Vanguard accounts have made 15.2% annually (initial investment has doubled), through low cost ETFs. For me that's VTI, VEA, VGT and VUG
Stop doing stupid shit. Invest a set amount into an index fund at a regular time interval (you’re young and I would go w tech, VGT/SCHG). And then, don’t look, don’t touch and don’t even think about it. It’s not your money (it’s future your money).
Wow, you really track your Reddit threads!

Buy VGT @ 111 Or SPCX @ 111 ?
Just be patient. I would not buy gold today but I have bought gold many times and I just hold. I've also bought VOO/VTI/VGT and many other ETFS which I would not buy today. But I am patient. I buy when I buy and I hold. The most important thing is to not pay attention, it will mess with your mind and you'll make bad decisions. Be confident in your purchases and just hold. If you need the money immediately you should not be investing it.
Set this to max and even starting 70% and a decade behind, VGT (tech index) wins [https://www.google.com/finance/beta/quote/SPY:NYSEARCA?keymoments=false&comparison=VGT%3ANYSEARCA&type=line&window=MAX](https://www.google.com/finance/beta/quote/SPY:NYSEARCA?keymoments=false&comparison=VGT%3ANYSEARCA&type=line&window=MAX)
When I realized most of the gains were just tech stocks, I started buying tech stock indexes. XLK and VGT in particular. You can't buy them easily in 401k buckets, but brokerage accounts, Roth IRAs, and IRAs it's about 75% of what I own when I can direct it.
I'd first think about what kind of risk you want. VGT isn't just more risk, it's a bigger bet on tech and many of the same mega cap names already in VOO/VTI. In other words, the risk is more concentrated in one sector. Before making a switch like this, I recommend checking the ETF holdings and sector breakdown. I do that on moomoo since it helps me see whether I'm changing my exposure or just doubling down on the same names.
Keep gambling with 10%, any gains over 10% put into an aggressive portfolio mix with the following VOO, VGT, XLK, QQWM, SMH, VXUS
📉 Tesla Revenue is backward looking.Future is looking The Chart Connection: Technical Targets for VGT OOGLE AI If you are looking at this VGT chart through the lens of that same question—asking **"how far down will it go"** before the pain stops—here are the key structural support lines based on the visual data: * **Current Battleground ($113.41):** The price is currently testing the white horizontal support line drawn across the chart. It has bounced here before, but momentum is weak. * **Next Defensive Line (\~$105.00):** If the current floor breaks, the chart shows a notable consolidation area from early spring around the $105 level. * **The Ultimate Bottom Floor (\~$85.00 - $90.00):** This is the major long-term accumulation zone visible on the left half of the chart. If a true macro tech correction takes place, this is where institutional buyers heavily stepped in previously (marked by the green dividend icon areas)

Here are some other tickers worth looking at: * VGT * SOXX (or SMH) * VXUS * VT * VOOG
What are you buying? Maybe go a lower risk. VGT, QQQ, SMH, heck VOO. Stop gambling, start investing.
OMG ….. That’s a recipe for disaster. He should just do 70% VOO / 10-15% VXUS / 15-20% QQQM or SCHG or VGT whichever he prefers of those 3
i just do etfs like SMH VGT QQQM to get most of that covered
Pretty sure if you held VGT you’d be at the same end point.
