VOO only up 10% ytd, and you would only have those games if you bought before the year started.... He's having another dementia moment and telling us how much he has made from grifting this year
GOOG drop yesterday exceeded both 2020 and 08, recording its largest single-day percentage drop ever. This isn't r/bogleheads where we VOO and chill. I think they deserve a little slack for not investing in over-inflated PE low-growth vibes like Walmart, KO, etc.
You’re fine. VOO’s price has been low all month compared to the previous 4 months. The market is usually lower this time of year.
If I had $10mil to buy stocks with, I'd rather just never work again... Even just $2mil in VOO is enough to travel the world on basically forever lol.
A warning message from a middle class wage cuck: (TLDR I can't afford to give this market any more passive index dollars) I sold just about everything. Even my 401k is 90% index funds and has been stagnant for 6 months despite contributions. I'm probably going stop 401k and HSA contributions. I'm going to stop funding my roth with a second job. I'm probably going to pay off at least one car and aggressively pay off the other car, do some Dave Ramsey shit. I make 150k/yr which is 2.5x the median household income in my state. I never buy myself shit. I live in a fucking manufactured house AKA trailer. I constantly pinch pennies. No hobbies, no vacations, and I'm just spinning my wheels in the mud. I'm sick of working so hard and making relative bank and feeling poor as fuck. Tell VOO I said good luck, I'm going to build a stronger foundation and actually live my life for a little bit. The only thing left is my UMAC shares... let em liquidate me, fuck em.
VOO getting rekt too
You don't get rich with VOO and chill. You also don't get rich gambling on RDDT options either lol
ok, I promise to VOO and chill next time
> Wow, your best stock outperformed a little bit over decades. Ah... google is not my best stock. Not by a long shot. It's midpack. As for "little bit" ah... 11000% versus 700% is a tad more than a "little bit". A tad more. As for "over decades", isn't that what people say your time horizon for VOO to be? "Over decades"?
Wow that VOO/SPY drop just then
I know. What am I thinking? GOOG, even with yesterday's little dip, is only up 11000% since I bought it. In the same time, the SP500 and thus VOO if it existed in 2004, is only up what? About 7000%. How dare google have made me money than the SP500 would have? HOW DARE IT!!!!!!
I keep stacking VOO and Google. This seems way overblown to me…
And yet you are here complaining about VOO!
> If you were happy buying it last week you should be thrilled it’s a few % cheaper today. Did you miss how I said "So I decided to put my toe in the water and put in 10K every week this month. **Including about half an hour ago.**" I bought another 10K of VOO about an hour ago. Right before it took another leg down to 694. Like seconds before it went off the 696 cliff.
I’m going to VOO and chill after this is all done dumping fk this stupid fucking market
> Even if it went fully red this year I'd still be up from years and years of previous growth. Be mad at yourself for not doing this sooner dude. LOL. Over the last 40 years. I've outpaced the SP500. If VOO had existed 40 years ago, I've done better than it has investing in individual stocks. So I'm glad I didn't do it sooner. Dude.
VOO is still up over 10% YTD even after this brief dip downwards. Even if it went fully red this year I'd still be up from years and years of previous growth. Be mad at yourself for not doing this sooner dude.
Oh I understand. You’re on the internet complaining about the very thing that makes VOO such an exception investment for investors who want growth of their capital.
LOL. You seem more wound up than me. In fact, all the VOO fanbois seem more upset than me.
LOL. If you are making those statements without knowing the context, then you are better off not posting. Since this money came out of the 900K have I have sitting in SGOV separate from my real investments. Somehow, even if I lost it all in VOO, I'm thinking I'll still be OK.
I dropped $70k this week into my growth funds - $35k of that was in VOO. I'm not worried.
You’re a good day away from crushing SGOV monthly dividend. I had about 12k in SGOV and decided to put most of it in VOO when it touched 700’s last week. When the market recovers the VOO gains will rapidly outpace SGOV.
So what you’re saying is you invested in VOO for your needs next month?
Why are you judging VOO on being invested for a month? Unless you're close to retirement, you should be evaluating this in 10, 15, 20 years.
$VT helps and cuts the market cap of $VOO stocks nearly in half by adding roughly 38% international stocks and also the entire US stock market including stocks outside S&P. $VTI is the entire US stock market adding in small caps to $VOO. $VXUS is all international stocks ex US. I would start there instead of buying more $VUG, $SOXX, $QQQ, $SPY or $VOO positions.
This is not a bubble popping fwiw. VOO is still up like 10% ytd
The Volatility is gonna hit the stocks everyone here owns. Very few own Coca-Cola or $SCHD so very few are selling and those happen to be Green today as a result. This is the issue when 10 stocks in the $QQQ make up over 40% of its market cap. The Nasdaq has become a mini-me KOSPI whether people want to admit it or not. I think we bounce hard after mid term Tuesday. But I can also think some here need to diversify out of 100% $VOO, $SOXX or $VUG and $QQQ and think you're diversified. Those funds all own the same damn handful of stocks.
if you had any sanity you would just buy VOO/VXUS 50-50 and wonder why the hell everyone is running around with their head on fire. but you dont.
I bought a good amount of Google. Leaving the rest in VOO
Do people who post stupid shit like this not understand valuations and company outlooks change? Like I don’t own Reddit and stick to VOO, but still, takes like this are so stupid and monolithic. Legitimately one of the reasons I don’t bother participating in discussions on here. Everyone is just dismissive.
People are still working an plowing paychecks on auto-submit to VOO-n-chill. So the indexes are flush with cash while individual tickers implode.
I know. That's why VOO and chill works. It's just too slow for the degenerates here.
My VOO blanket keeps me warm at night.
YTD with VOO I am up 12.5%. Far off from 67%.
I should've held onto my VOO puts, I'll take whatever gains I can get today though lmao
Good time to buy broad index funds like VOO.
Correct, that's why I tried to emphasize that a portfolio in, say, boring VOO or IVV is alleviating the burden of having to spend your time and effort to make money in order to live and to have fun.
Selling VOO, buying GOOG.
true, feel like go in on VOO and maybe some amzn or googl (A class) and just forget about it for a year
AMZN probably safest of the bunch. But VOO outperforms it most years lately heh. Just do VOO and go enjoy life. There is only pain here.
Am I greedy for wanting VOO at 695 EOD
Yes I'm selling a chunk of VOO to buy AIS
Sold GOOGL and added VOO Im done with stock picking
Buffetts old ass still waiting on VOO to correct 20% instead of buying stock
What do you have for stock funds? And check the expense ratio. You want to find a broad stock fund with a low expense ratio. 0.03% for VOO or 0.06% for VT are some exaples. You want under 0.1% imho for US stock fund.
I'd guess that it makes a lot of difference what you invested in. If you were trying to get rich quick and invested in individual memory stocks, you've taken a hit since June. If you played things conservatively and bought the VOO ETF then you're only up about 13%. I play a diverse selection, and was fortunate to buy oil & gas in the 2nd quarter of last year which has performed well. But I'm only up 56% YTD. Since Tech has gone down, and being aware how all of the sectors have performed this year, I'm not sure how someone would achieve 67% but I think it would have to be with individual stocks.
I think you’re mixing me up with someone else. I dumped my 7 fig VOO position a day ago and went cash gang
Look up something called “VOO”
Still looks pretty good for the year. There is still time to VOO and chill.
Just let it recover this last time and ill sell and put everything in VOO.
Just checked VOO and it is up exactly 67.97% in past 5 years. So some of that is still biden not just trump
VT bruh VOO is too risky now
most people should invest in VOO and chill. I would never tell my close friends to do the shit I do lol. I wish they would put their extra cash into SPY instead of leaving in in a HYSA.
You laugh, but I'm lowkey concerned millennials and younger are just going to ape their retirements into predictions instead of VOO and chill
VOO is down 0.36%. HAHAHAHAHAH
I sleep well at night knowing my $200 dollar investment is almost guaranteed to retain its $190 value in six months. It's even more reliable than VOO n chill.
I came to post “why not VOO and chill you would double your money in 7 years!” Then I realized what sub this is and don’t understand why you’re crying you still have several thousand more dollars to burn! See you at the casino tomorrow
Why aren’t yall investing in VOO or VT?!
Not funny. But real talk family savings in VOO or VT or VIG is chillin. No tension
They'll buy enough vodka and cigarettes to pump my defensive consumer portfolio To balance out my bloody VOO holdings
SGOV til 15% VOO correction then start buying shares and selling CSPs.
lol I'm up about 14% poked around on Schwab and I can see there are 29 companies inside VOO that had returns of at least 67% YTD so about 6% of the S&P 500 are up that much
VOO is down today but yes, I do agree with the sentiment
I know HOOD already talked about it in their ER, but I imagine we are gonna see a crazy shift out of stocks by young people next year. Like not even the gamblers, but your traditional VOO investors too. Would not be surprised if there is some regulation passed later even by this admin if it starts to effect valuations. Like sure it is a more efficient means of extracting capital, but it effects boomers 401k they'll be hell to pay.
Why are there lurkers in here, people who just VOO and chill. Reveal yourself.
This is why I VOO and chill
Nobody in here on that VOO and chill gang. Everyone got loaded to the tits on Microsoft, Google and Amazon. They’re down slightly more than 0.9% today :))
67% means the S&P 500 more than doubled in a year. Anyone holding VOO or FXAIX in their 401k would've noticed that on their statement. He's probably quoting the one guy in the room who went all in on something stupid and got lucky, and calling it a policy.
Agreed. Still early in my long term investing. I think I am going to hold the shares I have in im VOO and QQQ but looking to pivot to utilities for the forseeable future, at least until I get a better idea.
If you had just stuck your money in VOO and done nothing you’d be +11% YTD
Finally understand why they kept telling me to buy VOO. It’s not for the gains but to prevent you from sucking dicks in a market crash
VOO is barely down in after market
So I got 5k in VOO with an ac/share of $655, total profit around: $350 Goog is trading around: $279/280 Should I sell all voo to buy goog at this price? I mean the PE has lowered to a point where it seems reasonable and slightly undervalued? is this gonna be like the next meta and msft? They all went thru a similar phase this year. Thanks

VOO down 0.25% my port 25
The equal-weight S&P 500 was up 1.2%, outperforming VOO by 1.56%. Diversification matters.
QQQ and VOO should be down alot more..
I usually don't think this but tomorrow is going to be bloody. Fuck it, let everything burn. I'm completely out of all AI except for VOO. Even sold my VGT this summer.
Apple seems to be on par with VOO for buy and chill
the times where you wish you bought VOO instead of peak WSB hype
Yes but I go VOO from now on
So you're saying I should sell all my VOO and dump it into GOOG?
You should also mention casual $70,000 most people have lying around to buy one contract on VOO.
Smart brother, stay true to $VOO
Are you asking for advice on investment selection? Or account types for investment? In a 401k there is no tax drag for trading if you don’t have fees to trade (which is typical) so you can experiment without long term structural issues like in a brokerage account. My personal feeling is eventually simplicity wins so I would basically go nearly 100% stocks in your retirement account at 19. An old fashioned advice would be a Sp500 fund like VOO. More modern might be a total market fund (Russel 5000) like VT. You could diversify more by adding al international with something like VXUS or increase exposure to NASDAQ. Any of this could be reasonable at your age and investment level.
So, just doing the math — buy at $100, collect $25, stock finishes at $50 — you’re still down $25 per share. That buffer helps, but your stock selection still matters. How have your total returns compared with VOO over the same period, including losing positions? And which tickers, strikes, and expirations are you using?

Been doing VOO for past few years. Also got about 50k returns in an IRA and HSA I’m not bothering to show you, and 850k of company stock I bought for 250k - It’s heartland dental.
why is VOO so down?
My emergency fund is always SGOV and I continue to invest other income in VOO/VUG. When the boom happens, I'm not going to be constantly watching stocks everyday to be able to catch it on time. (If I even trust myself to jump in) If it drops, I don't need the money for decades so it has time to recover.
I still mix it with VOO. Then rebalance as they drift away from my 60/40 allocation, assuming a 401k account. But it’s your money, have at it.
Nah. Just get your GOOG exposure with VOO at this point. No need to take on single stock risk for a company that is obviously in a multiyear transition
