Stop putting any more money in these. Moving forward, pick a broad index fund/ETF (VT, VTI, VOO or XEQT) and stick with it. If you must buy these speculative stocks, stick to less than 5% of your portfolio.
Oh fomo you drama queen, always making it about yourself. Do you VOO and chill? 🤔
VOO is boomers with 5 million chump change
Is opposite of VOO and chill, SOXL and goon?
I think he's a VOO and chill guy.
Hopefully you're young and you learn. It's called VOO and chill.
\>if you think banks are going to let btc overtake something like VOO you are insane. That’s already happened though?
Not really sure why VOO and VXUS weighting is relevant to my comment or point. But VXUS since inception over the course of 15 years has about the same return as VOO over just the past 5 years. Of course holding VOO (or SPY) for that entire 15 year period easily outclasses VXUS. You're basically suggesting selling a higher performing asset, to diversify into a lower performing one - not sure I agree with that.
Unless it goes to zero or even way down. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. It’s backed by nothing, pays no dividends and is based on hype. I would stick with VOO, if you think banks are going to let btc overtake something like VOO you are insane.
Lmao imagine dumping everything in VOO, like at least try to do something interesting
If you don’t need the money hold for a rebound and then when you get back to a loss you’re comfortable with if you want to sell and put it in an etf like VOO or SPYM or something that will help you offset some of your losses over time.
Tons of stocks in bear market territory. 4/7 mag7 stocks are in technical bear markets. Many big tech companies. It’s very compelling/ interesting and def a win for the VOO and chill guys this time lol
Yeah, but VOO is meant to be a long-term investment. People who bought an S&P 500 fund before the [Dot.com](http://Dot.com) crash and the 2008 crash, are sitting pretty these days.
Sorry for your loss. I’m no fiduciary, but I’m sure $1million in VOO is going to do you just fine over the next 20 years or so.
I dunno, seems like a good move to me. Of ALL of the fucked up, fuckass things you could have done with that inheritance, throwing it all into VOO was actually near the top smartest things to do with that money. Just make sure you have it set to DRIP, and coast.
I'd recommend a portion of bonds, and possibly a few other indexes not tied to the US or tech as hedges. VOO should do fine though and is a reasonable core holding.
20 years. This may make you feel better if you run this experiment. FInd any stock performance calculator and put in your purchase date for VOO. Then select for your 'time interval' to review performance at a week. Then a month. Then 6 months, a year, 5 years, 10, then 20. You'll see that as the interval grows the dip we've just experienced is almost invisible. Now this is absolutely no guarantee of future results, but IMO what other measure is any better? I'm writing this as someone who first bought QQQ in back in '99, so I know exactly how you feel. But I liked the focus, so stayed the course. That was a lot of dollars ago. I don't sweat it anymore.
The bad thing about the roller coaster is many people panic and jump out on the way down. Be steadfast. VOO will always recover, eventually, and you've got a long horizon.
If I woulda kept it in SGOV then VOO woulda ripped up another 20-30% higher over the next 12 months so it’s damn if you do and damn if you don’t
Thank you for your service lol. If it crashes next week, at least we’ll all know who to blame. Kidding though. I traded stocks for a while too, and you’ll be fine. 20 years is a long time to wait, and if you’re not selling, a crash just looks bad on a screen. I switched my retirement to something more volatile and just lost a ton on it, but the good part is I get to buy low on the way back up. Historically the market has always come back eventually. You figured out you can’t time it and picked a plan you can stick with, and most people never get there. Bottom line, YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE. dont sell, hold for those 20 years. if anything, pull like 25% of it out and if it drops more, buy. dont try and time it and dont look every day. look like once a week. if it dropped. buy more. if it is up, dont buy more. remember, what goes up goes down, and what goes down goes up... well those indexes anyways. VOO is good to be in cuz it does just this... so look at it once a week. if its down, buy. its that simple. dont wait. if its up, wait for it to drop
the real answer is to convince yourself that the only way people get rich is not quickly, but by boring-ass investing in VOO, and move all that's left here to VOO as your first bet. Unfortunately it doesn't feel good, right, or show results for decades, so it's just not realistic advice for most people. The best I've found is to put most of your future investing money into index, and then save a small hit for stock picking... just enough to scratch the itch, but physically isolated from 'just a little bit more'
Why didn’t you use direct indexing? You’re giving up so much tax alpha by buying VOO with that amount of capital.
sorry if you already know all this, covered calls require pretty significant capital that's the catch. most people don't have any money lol you cap unlimited upside in return for premium. if market goes up but not past your strike, stays float, or goes down over the duration of the call, you just got real money where you wouldn't have done anything market crashes? you lost a little bit less than you would have otherwise holding same thing SPY VOO whatever. in your particular case rather than being all in with a lump sum which is a bad idea, if you had some called away it would be a good thing. you would have some flexibility in management
Your port is essentially an ETF made of random niche tickers no one has ever heard of and a few wallstreetbets specials. Honestly just get an index fund (VOO/SPY/QQQ) and leave it alone. You can keep yourself a little cash for risk to play with
Too many stocks. If you want to stock pick you should really only have 2-3 high conviction trades in an industry you have strong knowledge of and combined extensive research. If you want to diversify, you should be buying VOO/SPY or BRK.B shares. As far as advice goes, I'd really recommend finding videos and information sources that discuss long term investing strategies and market concepts, personally I steer people towards Plain Bagel who interestingly enough is also Canadian. Stock picking is inherently risky but diversification is a protection against 'ignorance' if done correctly (SPX500 ETFs). Wealth building is generally a boring process. My personal advice given your circumstance is to gradually move your portfolio, starting with your biggest losers, into an SPX500 etf and focus on your primary income instrument which in this instance is your job. People often forget that having a strong income is far more better of a focus than trying to make it rich in stocks or crypto.
it'll be alright at least it's VOO and not pure nasdaq. do you have any interest in selling covered calls? sell them a few percent above your break even price if it gets called away having like 20 to 25 percent of this money getting 5 percent interest may not be a horrible idea we will see liberation day highs again, maybe lib day lows just give it time
RSP might be better than VOO right now imo
Smart. Better VOO than anything else. At least you didn't throw it at CRWV
Hold DRAM. And never pick stocks again. Stick to VT/VTI/VOO. If you find yourself itching for a cheap thrill, put 5-10% in SPMO.
Buy VOO or QQQ or SPY and sell all the other shit. 80% s&p500. 20% something a lil riskier
Sorry bud, not trying to be mean. The truth is, investing is always great, but I’m not sure a career in day trading is what you need. You need to improve your income / job situation. In the meantime, just invest in low cost index funds and don’t touch them. $VOO is a good one. Lookup the bogleheads method to learn more, it’s very accessible and easy to do
Buy 750k in VOO...put 125k in a money market and use the rest to actively trade. Do fucking not blow your money or spend your portfolio on anything. In 15 years you'll thank me
Fidelity has a checking/savings hybrid situation too with SPAXX fund for unused cash in a taxable brokerage account. It currently pays 3.55% interest with a 0.42% expense ratio. For a Roth IRA, they have zero fee index mutual funds that are on performance pair with VOO, VTI, and VXUS ETFs.
While what you say is true, it's silly not to rebalance your portfolio. Let's say you have VOO and VXUS. You should sell VOO to buy VXUS if VXUS is underperforming to maintain your ratio. Can you do 100% voo? Yes. Do you take on higher risk? Also yes. Are you expected to have higher returns? Not really enough to justify VOO alone.
Happy Halloween, it looks like the market decided to dress up in discount costumes this year. I saw VOO slip right after a purchase, it felt like a trick before the treat. The rules on self promotion and spam are clear, so let’s keep the focus on the actual moves. Anyone spotting a sector that might survive the spooky dip and hand out real treats?
Its was my fault, it got a discount after i bought VOO 😀
VOO not even a proper dip to buy. Very strange situation. I think we will slide down a bit more until a real dip forms then money piles back in like in march/april.
> LOL. Ah... you think that 1 + 1 = 1. Maybe you aren't unlucky. You are just can't count. Not being able to count when dealing with numbers, like in the stock market is not a path to success. Learn to count then maybe you'll get lucky. Speaking of which.... wtf are you even talking about dude, you’re so far off the mark in terms of a coherent rebuttal that you’re just making things up now. I’m not the one who came in here whining about VOO… when I challenged you, your response is to accusing me of not being able to count? What a laugh. I’ll ask you again: what is your thesis / point?
Mentioning VOO in WSB = wearing a condom at Studio 54
Yea maybe $50,000 in GLD and rest VOO
VOO is fine maybe a nice emergency fund in your hysa or short term treasury etf SGOV or USFR
Looks like my house might finally sell soon. Moving into small apartment will have $200,000 for savings where should i put it VOO?
Boy oh boy, some people should really just invest in VOO and forget about their investment accounts, heh?
> LOL! The mantra of the unlucky. So you do admit you’re lucky 🤔 Ok great, you beat the market with your stock picks. So why are you whining here about VOO? Do you think picking stocks is better than buying index funds? It’s untrue, and one lucky man isn’t a statistic anyway but you seem to think you’re important or whatever so I guess it needs some spelling out. Don’t be delusional.
Bro i see these idiots come on here an always post BUT THE STOCK IS ONLY DOWN 2% .... they think everyone has their money in VOO soo fukkin annoying
VOO and chill, I still do not get that, 7 companies of SP 500 comprise of 40%
> “yep, this works! for a million dollars!" Fixed it for you. How many millions have you made on VOO?
I folded on this stock today and bought the dip in VOO. Intel looks like it is cooked.
VOO ytd is + 10.59% GOOG ytd is -11.77% : /
Both...sold off some GOOG, VEU and VOO...bought some TSM, MU, EWY and NVDA...as well as QQQ. Just risking up while things are a little lower. Regret selling Google ...maybe buy a tiny amount to scratch the itch.
I’m down 61.6% on Reddit. I’m riding that shit to zero. Or until the end of the year when I collect my roll of Pennie’s and put it in VOO 😂
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
