Let's go! For most, the best investment route is to just purchase a S&P500 index fund/ETF and hold on (*while adding to it often and extra when markets are in a down-cycle). Vanguard's VOO and VFINX have low expense ratios % and are great choices! VTI / VTSMX are also good (total market) options.

I don’t know what the apy is for ally high yield savings but personally I put cash in BOXX or USFR the yield is around 5%. If you’re looking for more return and a bit more risk VOO, VXUS, QQQM, SPYM are all popular. These are a low cost index funds that track the overall market. (S&P500, International, and the Nasdaq100)
Listen here you lil skeet, let me set your booty cheek straight. Take 90% of everything you are investing and split it 45% into VOO and 45% into QQQM. The remaining 10% cash you can use to invest in whatever speculative stocks or dividend yields you are chasing at the time while you continue to learn on your investing journey. But always stick to that plan and you will thank me in 30 years when you can retire early.
at 19 you should prioritize growth and dont spend alot of time trying to learn to trade stocks or become some.master investor. you can buy and hold any legit index fund like VOO or SPYM or QQQM or VTI and be just fine for a long time in the mean time - just focus on increasing your earning potential so you can save more. and learn to save. like really save if you can start now and save X% every week with a plan to increase that percent every year - you will be very ready for retirement compared to your peers
Plenty of time with a reasonable plan and a lot of discipline. Let this “learning money” light a fire under your ass. Focus on making money…WITH YOUR JOB / BIZ. Put your future investing on “set it and forget it.” Work with a fiduciary who charges a flat fee or just put it in some like VOO. You can right this ship! Don’t beat yourself up. Just course correct.
I think it is the most important lesson for people. People tend to think of 401k and Roth as super long term money, and that’s great. But in reality all money works the same. If you have monthly income, if you have monthly expenses, you should have monthly automatic taxable investments. I don’t care if it is just 50/week in VOO. Why? Because it is basic financial hygiene, like brushing your teeth. Invest auto, sell only when you have something urgent to pay for. Once you’ve done this for a few years you start to understand.
Right now i am 65% VOO, 21% NVDA, 5% AVGO, 2% RKLB, 2% META, 2% GOOG, 1% ASTS, 1% RDDT, 1% APLD. Not diversified so much but 27% YTD at least.
VTI and VOO have had significantly lower returns than NVDA over the last decade. The whole point of owning everything is you don’t know what the winners will be. Could be European pharmaceuticals or Japanese banks for all we know.
Buy smart stocks like VOO, SPY, Google, Amazon, i would add rklb and asts but thats just me) and you'll make it back in 5 or so years. Take it as a very expensive lesson, spent 37k on a finance degree, and eventually you'll have the same money you started with and then some
SPY (VOO or FXAIX) or any other s&p500 etf or mutual fund
lol. VOO is fantastic. It just requires zero intelligence and is often the basis of every beginner finance suggestion. Ironically, it’s possibly the best possible advice you’ll ever get in your entire life… After being completely obsessed with investing in everything for the past seven years, after playing with options trading in stock picking this and that yada yada yada… I would’ve been better off just buying VOO and doing nothing. I would’ve been better off having a low IQ and just sticking with the S&P 500 instead of fucking around and lighting money on fire.
Switch your 401k to lowest cost sp500 fund. Often times those target dates are too conservative and have sneaky internals. There’s nothing wrong with Roth. But the hard math says lowering your taxable income is mathematically the best move. Right now by doing 100% Roth you’re basically choosing to overpay your taxes today. Especially as young as you are. Also get in the habit of doing “something” in taxable. Often times people only retire with 401k’s and the equity in the home. I don’t care if it’s $50/week in VOO in. Fidelity account. It is a good habit and you should learn it young. Sell only when you have you have an urgent expense to pay for. Sounds like you will do great, best of luck!!
Is VOO not good now? Why is this low-IQ? Am I missing a joke?
The only reason not to is that the year end is when a lot of people rebalance their ports. SPX hasn't done well compared to other equity classes (int'l for example) or asset classes (precious metals). There's a reasonable chance retail will be selling things like gold and silver to buy SPY/VOO when rebalancing.
Might just want to invest in good ETF instead of picking individual stocks? VOO / VTI / VXUS / VT / VGT
See r/bogleheads still young. Up your savings as you can and DCA into VOO or something similar per boglehead info.
My sneaky pick that NOBODY will guess. VOO.
Original purpose of these 2x, 3x, and 4x etfs are for DAILY trading so a person could get 3x DAILY exposure to say the S&P500 without 3x the money. VOO costs $600. UPRO $120. You have $500 dollars. Before fractional shares you could buy 0shares of VOO. Even with fractional you would only get $500 of max exposure to VOO. With UPRO you should theoretically get $1500 exposure to UPRO (for a day). We've had a near 2 decade bull rally with no real major downturns so folks look at the UPRO/TQQQ charts and think they always go up. Problem is you'd get fucked if you bought PRO on 2000 or 2007. Also vol decay means you'll still lose if the S&P500 goes up but not enough.
I would wait to see how much we go up between now and the 2nd trading day of January that is the Santa Claus Rally. You may get a bounce up on some of these. If you list them for me again here I will look at the charts tomorrow. Keep in mind you never want everything in one area and bitcoin is very volatile. I am bullish on AI Energy myself and AI in general and the ETF for that is IGV but I bought it at 85 and I think it is too high now. I also think SPY, QQQ are too high. The buy on SPY was on pullback to 650 and now it is back up at 690. If you dollar cost average you put a set amount each month and no timing. Make sense? VOO is a van guard fund for investing do research. Listen to a show. Tfnn.com is a good site and TTG on you tube is good Sunday night. good luck
The 6 months is the prudent thing to do. Especially at the beginning. But once you’ve been DCA into VOO for several years. Constantly increasing the auto investment amount, you come to realize you don’t need that much emergency funds. Even if you are forced to liquidate in a non favorable market for whatever unexpected large expense, your money is so appreciated at that point you shouldn’t care. What is the alternative, have less purchasing power with that emergency fund you’ve been holding for 20 years? I understand why us professionals recommend it. Because it is borderline negligent to not to. But that is CYA stuff. That’s why I tell people to buy auto and weekly in a taxable. First start with what is comfortable, then work to increase that weekly. Sure, have that emergency fund, but after 8-9 years, you likely come to realize it is not that necessary if you accept certain levels of risk.
fwiw I lost close to $50k several years ago playing w options and spent months feelign depressed about it, I don't think there's a great way to 'get over it' besides time and healing. If your loved oneas are healthy and you have steady emplyment you are richer than most. Stick to buying VOO, QQQ, etc and no more options.
You are young so think of this as a costly but good lesson in investing. The market has gone up 3 years straight and you are down, feels like you are gambling, not investing. Since you are young your best asset is time, invest slowly, dollar cost average, get your investments on solid ground (VOO, VWO, NOBL, VIOO, VTI) diversification, low cost index funds, boring I know. Once you have this established then you can mess around with 3-5% of your portfolio on risky assets. I think a lot of people have this backwards and eventually it ends bad. I feel for you, I have made similar mistakes when I was younger, you can and will recover. Please don’t “double down”. Good luck!
If OP is willing to be active for options trading, then they don’t need to put everything in VOO. This post didn’t sound like they were looking for “set it and forget it.” However I agree that a % should just be parked there, absolutely. But if they’re willing to learn and monitor, I have about 1/3 of the account in speculative stocks with limit orders around 3-5% (but variable depending on the ticker). This allows me to secure volatility gains in my sleep and then I just cycle through a bunch of tickers to always keep the money working. Usually end up with about 10-12 sales a month on average in a bear market. The constant compounding really helps the TWR metric take off throughout the year, I have to say.
Buy VOO and never touch options again
I put it all into VOO except I would take like 10% and port it into a SPY LEAP expiring in 2028. See what happens.
Firstly, you still have $35k. Remember there are people whinge fine in to debt trading options. Secondly, stop gambling. If these are you life savings, then dump it in to SPY or VOO and forget about it. Let that $40k be a lifelong reminder that you should be playing with options especially not with your savings.
Tbh this is a shit world we're living in. No matter how hard we work, it feels like we won't be able to accomplish much and earn enough. It is known that more and more people turn to gambling and risky investments in desperation and despair, and all investment apps are making it easier to just gamble. So set one rule for yourself from now on: don't act on emotions and don't buy if the VIX index is below 15. Just invest medium to long term (and no less than 5 years) in companies that you believe to have value, strong fundamentals, and potential to grow. Make sure you educate yourself before investing and always do your own research. If you don't have time to read books, listen to podcasts (e.g. the excellent one by Steve Eisman). If, even then, you don't feel comfortable with picking stocks, then just buy SPY or VOO, or VanEck Gold and VanEck Defense. I know it's Christmas, but it's a delusion to think that we're going back to times of peace. More than anything, I hope you have as good a holiday break as possible, man. Look after yourself!
I’ve been through loss like this. What I did was learn from it. Don’t try to ‘make it back quickly’. Gets worse. $37k lost is a lot, and not a lot. If you invest the remaining in an etf like VOO and then continue to work hard, you’ll be back in no time. Focus on increasing your income if you can. You’ll be ok.
VOO returned 15% this year, Silver 145%, Sandisk 613%. Keep is simple, stay away from option nonsense. Learn to pick some winners, do your homework. The amounts you mentioned are recoverable. Maybe you need to watch some Dave Ramsey.
Stay the fuck away from options. Put that money in VOO or VTI and FORGET ABOUT IT. In 5 years you will have all your money back and that’s assuming you don’t add any money to the initial 37k. If you steadily contribute you will surpass your initial loss much much faster. Sure 5 years may seem like a lot but it’s better than losing it all. Again stay away from options and day trading and just invest and keep buying more each pay check. You’ll get there in 2 years if you are smart.
careful listening to redditors just because they are willing to respond doesnt mean their responses are accurate. if you look at the last few drawdowns - in most cases voo/spy went down more percentage points than spmo from february 2025 highs to the tarriff liberation day lows - spy/voo lost 12% while spmo dropped 7% SPMO might be a better long term choice than VOO hard to tell just yet
Keep putting money into VOO or VT and in ten years you won't even care.
Stop gambling and just buy VOO. you'll at least be able to write off these losses on your taxes
VOO and chill, you would forget this in a few years. PS. Maybe add some QQQ in there.
If you look at their top 10 holdings, there isn't a huge difference. US total stock market value (what VTI represets) is \~$71 trillion vs S&P 500 (what VOO represents) is \~$61 trillion. At this point, you both are right and it won't make a huge difference in return. I would suggest, go with 50% - 50%, and keep an eye on the market situation and adjust the percentage.
OP is looking for a replacement for the savings account. And we have no indication that OP has too much money in it. VOO is not a replacement for a savings account.
What’s your risk tolerance? Low tolerance then use ETFs like VOO, SPY, ITOT. High tolerance then I’m invested in companies developing LiDAR technology which will become the standard for many industrial, military and consumer products.
I would suggest VOO, which is an S&P 500 ETF. I put my long term savings in there
VOO is absolutely inappropriate for an emergency fund.
Impossible to find a company like Berkshire, I am buying no matter what and yes I do own VOO as well, thats all you need
Open a Fidelity account and buy VOO on an auto weekly basis with whatever you can afford. Sell only when you have an urgent expense to pay for. That’s it. That’s all investing is. Spend less, invest more auto, don’t panic sell. Before you know it you realize money is easy. Best of luck :)
for me - i have a momentum trading account where when i decide to buy a position i just buy enough shares that its about 3% of my portfolio. then if i was right and it starts to increase in value i buy a bit more (maybe 1% each day) over the course of the next few days but i stop when i get to 6% of my portfolio then i stop buying and set stop limits (up and down) so for me a full poisition is 6% and then i watch it. and update my stop limits every day or every few days. as long as it keeps rising.....i might hold for a bit but if it loses momentum - then i sell it and start looking for the next one to jump on. (i might hold as much as 10-12 positions at any time and rotate the rest of my money in that portfolio between VTI QQQ VOO and BOXX in vraious weighting as needed)
longterm play - just invest 50/50% in VOO+BRK.B and you will just fine
What age are you planning on fully retiring? What are your total liquid assets? Please do NOT listen to the people that are telling you to go all in on VTI or VOO - the most important thing for you right now to consider is your time horizon. It sounds like youre nearing retirement age (around or less than 10 years), and that’s the biggest factor to consider. Another dimension to consider is your short term inability to work. You should have enough cash to cover 1~3 months of expenses, and about 6 months of expenses in extremely conservative and liquid assets (MM or Tbills). The job market is also not the greatest right now, can you guarantee 6 month later you can have employment or a steady income again? This is not financial advice. Consider finding a professional, preferably a fiduciary, that is single fee based and plan out your scenario.
So let’s say you auto invest 50/week in VOO in a taxable account. And you spend $400/month on Uber Eats… you should be investing towards your future more than ordering takeout… Treat your monthly investment like a line item in your budget like all your other expenses and let it “compete”. Say to yourself: why is more important, Uber Eats, or my family’s future? Because that exactly the choice you’re making. What you spend your resources on IS what I’d important.
A good starting point is to invest in VOO or VT and once you gain enough conviction for individual stocks is when you buy those. Looking for random strangers to give you conviction is a slippery slope to never achieving the confidence that is needed in individual stock picking.
Yeah bro I stick to VOO normally and currently defense / war type ETFS (ita)
Simplest solution is to just allocate a portion of your money into growth funds. E.g. lets look at 20 year performance of VIIIX (mutual fund version of VOO with 0.02% expense ratio) vs FBGRX (Fidelity growth fund with 0.6% expense ratio). Started 20 years ago, with $1K initial and $1K per month added with DRIP. Total contributions is $241K. FBGRX now is worth \~1.7M VIIIX now is worth \~$750K
Imagine thinking you were nice this year and expecting some SPY or VOO but find some XRP under the tree 😂
I mean thats the name of the game no? If you think you can't predict anything, DCA into VOO and hang out in another sub?
Bro just buy VOO and QQQM with the remaining money you have. In 2 months when it’s higher show her your account and how you’re up.
Well good on never selling! VOO and chill. Nice. You would’ve likely done better speaking with a pro. Someone like me would have told you: have auto investment. For more than just your 401k and ROTH. You should have done this with normal money also. If you have saved significant cash, you’ve left a fortune on the table by not doing the same thing in taxable. There’s nothing wrong with selling to cover a large expense. If you had been DCA’ing into a taxable account for 20 years and it is all VOO, then just sell to pay for stuff. That would not be panic selling, it would be using growing wealth for what it is meant for. Sounds like you will be just fine. Take care.
VOO is the index fund I've invested in over the years. So I will likely stick with that. Is SGOV a better option than a money market account?
Don’t bother buying options again because you clearly are too retarded and will blow up your portfolio again. Stick with shares on SPY/MAG7/VOO/VTI.
You should have just given me half and invested the other half in VOO. You would’ve better off today.
> I have already lost 100k back in 2021 As an exercise, what happened if that 100k went into QQQ and VOO instead? That could be over 250k right now, with the next 90k, you’d be on your way up over 400-500k in another couple years. Stop gambling, start investing.
Just buy 80% VOO 20% VXUS.
Just buy VOO or 80%VOO/20%VXUS or VTI
Ok, I did miss your point that The vast majority simply buys momentum like what they hear in social media or VOO. The bar *is* low to beat social media tips. It is not low to beat VOO. VOO is an approximation of "The Market". Beating the market is a high bar to clear. It is well established that those high education, high information, high experience teams can't reliably beat the market reliably for log periods. Warren Buffet (and his team) did in their early years because they had new ideas. They have not beat the S&P500 on average for the past 20 years. A bit of amateur analysis is very unlikely to beat the market, except by luck. Luck = Gambling.
Probably add to GOOGL, PLTR, and RKLB when/if appropriate and VOO at more or less random red days. I do often sell calls on PLTR, but I am much more careful nowadays with those. I'll probably look into robotics, defense, and utilities/energy more. KSPI is my moonshot bet that I sell calls on to buy an occasional share. I intend to not be too quick to pull the trigger and keep a relatively large cash position at the ready in 2026-2028. Also bought TLT this year that I could rotate out of if a crash materializes. Things will change though I'm sure.
Christmas market really said “VOO and chill, you filthy animals”
VT, VTI, VOO, VGT, pick one based on how risk adverse you are. You can alternatively focus on one of the first two and a little on the last. It doesn’t have to be Vanguard ETFs either. Other firms have similar funds.
Instead of the VOO or SPY, why not just have 5% in each of the top 20 SP500
All I can do is assume incompetence. I gave you the rationale behind my cash position and you think you can make more with an index. I'm up 147% over 3 years. Your opinion is mostly irrelevant if you are suggesting I just throw my money into VOO and I can "make more money".
Let’s take a break cause you’re getting yourself caught up in the rat race of traders. I just sat down with my mom to break down a manageable time horizon and allocation plan, my mother was freaking out because she’s 60 and still has 20 (now 18) years on her mortgage, she obviously doesn’t want to work full till 78, but after mathing everything out, she can theoretically retire now (high risk) or fully retire in 3 years (paid off all obligations w/early pull available). It’s been rough since her husband/my father passed, but taking the time to slow down and build a picture really helps put into reference where you really are. Theoretically if you invest all that into SPYM/VOO, you have an annual wage which matches median salary (after tax). You’re doing fine, take a breather for a moment because stress will only shorten your time.
If you are going to split, just go VOO. The small allocation in mid and small caps in VTI can affect the performance but the holdings are so tiny but it does give exposure. However, if you split then the allocation to small and mid caps gets cut in half. No point in splitting if you use VTI to also get exposure to the other market caps.
Alot of people are saying VOO and VTI, should I split 50/50?
If your time horizon is 30 years what you want is an ETF. You're going to let it sit, and check on it every year to adjust your strategy if your life circumstances change. The ETF you want is probably VOO or VTI. The first tracks the S&P500, the latter tracks the broader market. (Including the S&P500.)
FZROX if you have Fidelity VTI or VOO perfectly fine too
No wonder VOO was a straight line up today
I'm sitting on about 80k cash and waiting for VOO to fall. This time I will buy
No bot essay. I purchased VOO 633. QQQ 635 NVDA 205
True, but holding extra cash could be viewed as “emergency fund plus”. If you feel your job is at risk, the money might be safer in A money market than VOO (or it would certainty feel that way).
Yes every paycheck I buy 3 VOO
VOO and some QQQM for fun. It works in the long run.
Sounds like you should stick to VOO lmao.
97% of my portfolio is VOO but 3% are my fun individual stocks and I will continue to buy psychedelic industry stocks. MNMD, ATAI, CMPS etc
Both VTI and VOO have their merits. VTI offers broader exposure to the entire U.S. stock market, while VOO focuses on the S&P 500. Diversification can help manage risk, so adding VXUS and bonds could be a smart move. It's important to consider your investment goals and risk tolerance.
VOO or SPY for sure. I have VTI total market which is a good idea also. 50% in index, 40% in stock, 10% cash or cash equivalents (T-bills).
idk bro, what if VOO goes out of buisness, then you would be at 0. think its better to diversify and do 50% nvida 50% broadcomm
Well said and he is also not understanding that the SPY , SOXL, SMH , SOXX and VOO are tied at the hip to a bubble like valuation fpra technology losing the race. Which means the entire market is ripe for proft taking It’s not a question of if a sell-off hits—only when. Markets run on reflex, not resilience. When the cycle breaks, it won’t drift—it’ll snap in a precision-triggered chain reaction. One macro headline. One earnings miss. One weak Treasury auction. Liquidity evaporates. The illusion of stability folds into reflexive panic. Challenge disinflation or liquidity and HFTs flip from passive scalping to forced liquidation. Volume spikes. VWAPs shear. Stops become bait. Velocity rises and carnage follows. Algos hit breakers before humans log in. Options desks hedge gamma and pour fuel on it. Margin clerks liquidate. Mega-caps trade like biotech IPOs. Breadth collapses. Defensives fail. VIX rockets. CNBC calls “market historians.” This isn’t drama—it’s plumbing. The system is efficient, not merciful. When flow turns, the escape hatch becomes the exhaust pipe.
This is very risky but you can buy VOO and hold for 20 years
Stocks (eg VOO or VTI)when you’re young/have many working years ahead of you. Bonds/Fixed Income Products (NOT JUNK BONDS) when you’re old/about to retire. To simplify it one is growth centered with risk of losses the other generates steady income (smaller returns) and preserves capital. 30 year old no bonds. 46 year old maybe MAYBE a small % of your portfolio.
This is a great sentiment - but not everyone has the same amount of time and risk tolerance. If you have no emotions, and you have decades of contributions left to make, the statistically superior choice to maximize money is always 100% low cost index funds for stocks (like VOO or VTI). Good thing is, you can learn to deal more skillfully with emotions and you can gain enough knowledge to increase your tolerance for risk (volatility) - but you can’t turn back time. So start early in 100% stocks and you did it - you won life. Just get a decent job and you’re set for life.
VOO vs VTI is mostly a rounding error because they overlap a lot, VOO is the S and P 500 and VTI is the whole US market so you just add some mid and small caps on top, either one can be a solid core if you keep contributing and stay the course, the bigger decision is whether you also want international like VXUS for diversification outside the US and whether bonds fit your risk tolerance and time horizon, if you want the simplest diversified setup many people just do VTI plus VXUS and adjust a bond slice only if it helps you sleep at night
In the interest of disclosure, I have large positions in SLV, GLD, UGL, GDX, and GDXU. I've become increasingly wary of the risks associated with exchange-traded notes (ETNs), so I'll be locking in my profits on GDXU and switching to GDX LEAPS once the new year hits. I additionally have large amounts of GLD and SLV LEAPS. I semi-annually rotate my profits out of the riskier plays into GLD, VOO, and BRK.A.
Most people can make money by doing the boring ETFs like VOO and VXUS. I started off with stock picking and did extremely well until.. eventually losing big and a large chunk of it 2-3 years in. Now I prefer slow and steady growth and gamble 20% of my portfolio. This year I’m up 34% and last year 32%. I’m exceeding my yearly financial goals year over year by a small margin and if I keep it up- in 10-15 years- should have $5M+ invested if things keep going the way they are.
which one tho? VTI VOO QQQM VT
Realize you're not smarter than everyone else and hold the S&P 500 (VOO for example). Reserve a small percent of your cash for gambling in individual companies to make things less boring. Focus on work and sleep well at night.
That’s where I buy my index funds. All non retard funds go straight into Fidelity. VOO, SCHD, and some VTI (yes I know there’s overlap).. Thank you kind sir, I didn’t realize they had 0 expense funds. What are the comps for the above? FXrox and ?
Having mentors is important. I follow two. One is George who runs BlueCloudTrading on YouTube. The methodology is trend following, basically he uses the Ichimoku indicator (which I recommend you consider learning) to estimate which sectors are performing well (are above a green cloud with the two moving averages in the proper places), then he chooses stocks for that segment that are moving up. The other methodology is TheSetupFactory on Substack. these are traders who will do things like wait for BE to fall to its 21 or 50 day, find support, then they will enter the trade. In both cases I get a constant stream of setups that are good to follow, and I follow them, making notes about what worked and what did’t. This is for people who WANT to swing trade, which is a specific thing. I agree with others here, most people who just VOO and chill.
