Buy VOO, hold for 18 years.
https://portfolioslab.com/tools/stock-comparison/FNILX/VOO VOO's 5 year average CAGR is 13.49% FNLIX's 5 year average CAGR is 13.21% Even after fees, voo has been the better pick But regardless, you can't handwave the holding differences between the two and act like the 0.03% fee is a deal breaker
I’d sell that URNM & put those funds into VOO
I hope everyone had fun today. I'm not selling my VOO. I rotated GOOG into IBOT. I'm ready to ride it up or down.
The only thing that governs price is more people buying a stock than selling, price goes up. More people selling than buying, price goes down. Everything after that basic level is inferred, correlation. If you are young. Open a Fidelity account. Buy as much VOO on auto weekly basis as you can comfortably stomach, then work to increase that auto amount over time. Sell only when you have something urgent to pay for. You will learn tons of other things. Roth. Budgeting. Optimization. You will have conviction for particular CEO/founders. All that comes with time. But it all comes roomy he fundamental basis of auto invest and don’t panic sell. Best of luck!!
5 years it has only increased 16%. If you literally only went VOO, conservative ETF, you would be up 73% in 5 years. To each their own I guess
AI is here to stay. I'm not sure which companies will float to the top and stay, but a long term portfolio with 20% AI is good. Majority will probably remain in VOO for long term growth. I've been doing just fine with gains over there the last decade.,
I’m all in on SPYM, SPY and VOO are just \*expensive\* per share, I like having a bit more flexibility and still get the same exposure. I highly doubt they would change indices again.
It's half the cost of VOO, which both are minimal anyway at 0.03 and 0.015 and can be acquired in $1 increments. Anyway, to each is own.
I took my GOOG gains to buy up some VOO when the SPCX IPO finishes liquidating other stocks.
So I kept buying stocks and it would go down because at that moment it was “ profit taking” so after a few years of consistently losing a week or so ago, I decided to buy 100% VOO so of course the entire economy tanks
I think I’m up 24% on my VOO/VXUS portfolio and 70% on my AI portfolio since 2025… I’ll take that all day. I’m pretty close to moving from the wealth creation to wealth preservation stage of my life. A few more 10% years and I can retire. So no I’m not trying to make massive returns.
Just dumped a 7 figure nepobaby inheritence into VOO, expect a -30% crash or so from here boys
“Just invest in VOO and make sure you never pull it out until your dead”
Wow you left money on the table with VOO lol
I’m not holding any bags. I moved from individual stocks to VXUS and VOO about 3 years ago. I had calls on $GME and sold $FFIE just in time. I’d put half of my portfolio on SpaceX puts if I didn’t have obligations. I’ll probably put $50k on it. I’ll post my positions when I have them.
Mines crashing so bad and a majority of my shit is in VOO. I’m only 24 though so I’ll just hold I guess.
This is why I prefer to hold VOO over any SP500 mutual fund.
im an absolute beginner at investing, using a brokerage app called gotrade and put a sizeable amount of momey into it. ive split 1.5k usd between AAPL, NVDA, SNDK, VOO. ive been meaning to invest since i turned 18 2 years ago but always had analysis paralysis and never bought the whole “best time to invest is today” spiel, but i went through with it now. is there any advice you can give me on the stocks ive picked and what stocks i should be in? like the best options for me to diversify further. not asking for a future prediction, just something for me to get my feet wet, thanks in advance.
You can't get out of it without selling VOO, maybe just invest in SCHD for a bit until it gets to whatever % of your portfolio you want if you don't want to sell
I don’t know why o bother with stocks. VOO QQQ SMH and forget it. They only go up
Vanguard had first mover advantage. (They did it first) And so VOO if the gold standard everyone uses. There's been other that have come along and done it slightly better or for slightly lower price/fee SPYM is best example I know. If you are in it for 35+ yrs of investing that 0.01 will matter maybe $3000 or $4000 total in your life combined - so both are good choices I trust both and I own both. (Voo I always had) and more recently I have been adding as SPYM (SPLG)
I've never sold a business, but.... Take the money, put it all in VOO and let it grow.
If you do this, do not put your money in individual stocks. Just put it in SPY or VOO and forget about it until retirement.
Start really small. Get them to open a Fidelity account and just use SPAXX. Then have them setup an automatic purchase of VOO for a very small comfortable amount. Then have them watch videos. The most important thing is getting started. They have pensions. They will have income forever. They might have many years of DCA ahead of them. Something is better than nothing.
So the SPY/VOO the S&P 500 isn’t going to index SpaceX right away. But plenty of other index funds will. Stay away from Musk directly, keep buying index funds, VOO preferably, but don’t avoid VTI. Never buy or short Musk, plenty of idiots have gone broke trying.

They should just VOO and chill
Buy VOO and chill = good at investing. Fucking around with short time expiration options = gambling. You could be great at investing, but a terrible gambler
No, you're mostly right, I was thinking about this a bit too stereotypically. Biggest investors, as you know better than I do I'm sure, are VOO et al. I was thinking of short term market panic and the likes, based on "Well, if Tesla could drop 99% (in a relatively short amount of time), that would surely act as a sort of psychological bomb at least", but my main point would have been "whoever is invested in Tesla and whoever Tesla invests in" without actually knowing either.
Your logic is sound and a common approach. The reasoning breaks down cleanly: FXAIX in Roth IRA: Since you can sell and rebuy inside the Roth without tax consequences, Fidelity house-brand funds work fine here. The 0.015% ER vs VOO's 0.03% saves you ~$60/year on $400K — not life-changing but correct. VOO in taxable: You're right that portability matters. If you ever leave Fidelity, you can transfer VOO in-kind (ACATS) to any broker and keep your cost basis. FXAIX would have to be liquidated. One note — at a $420K 401k with Merrill, check if they offer in-plan Roth rollovers or mega backdoor Roth. That's often the highest-leverage strategy for someone at your savings level.
Your instinct to swap out QQQM is solid, but maybe not for the reasons you think. VOO already has heavy mega-cap tech exposure (NVDA, AAPL, MSFT are ~20% of VOO). Adding QQQM, SPMO, and VGT on top of that gives you massive overlap — basically your whole portfolio is US large-cap growth. Swapping QQQM for AVUV (small-cap value) and VXUS (international) would actually diversify you. AVUV gives you exposure to smaller companies that are historically cheaper and have higher expected returns (the Fama-French value premium). VXUS gives you non-US exposure, which reduces your country-specific risk. For the remaining "growth" allocation, VGT already covers tech. You could drop SPMO as well (it's momentum factor, which overlaps with growth) and just hold VOO + VGT for US, then add AVUV + VXUS for diversification.
VGT has been excellent to me, but the “VOO and chill” modo will leave you far behind
Would not do VOOG > VOO if you're "behind" 20 years.... as you get later in life your risk tolerance window shrinks. VOOG for sure has outperformed VOO over the past 10 years but what if we hit a downturn in the next couple decades or when you're about to retire? There's no get rich quick scheme long term that doesn't involve luck with some bias to knowledge obviously - but not something you want to risk in the casino. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1txt18a/blew_my_account_truly_done/opyj8y6/ Read my comment I wrote it for non 20 year olds. At most do 20% of your entire portfolio in your 40s (?) into less than recommended equities.
Scheduled auto-buy of VOO, VXUS and AVUV every week. Nothing changes. DCA slowly into good old-school index fund investing.
I wouldn't say always but now definitely doesn't seem like the time to get into Meta when memory and chip stocks give a better yield. However, I would say putting money in VTI/VXUS/VOO is the best if we don't want to keep track of things. I know it goes against this sub though.
Short them. That way you’ll counter their positions in VOO. Good luck with your strategy.
Yeah, but VOO can eat 💩 and bounce back. It doesn't really go down, just goes on sale.
My portfolio was up 20%, fell 40% to -20% on last week's crash alone, back to ~0% today. I'm selling all this shit and switching to VOO and chill. My shitty heart can't take it. It was fun while it lasted.
After +20% over a couple months, then instantly losing twice that last week to -20%... Then back to almost even on Monday... I'm fucking done, fellas. VOO and chill it is. I nearly had fucking heart attack all for nothing.
If you can do that why not buy VOO? Lol
Tranquillo, è un problema super comune che capita a un sacco di gente. Il motivo per cui sei bloccato è che FXAIX è un fondo comune d'investimento proprietario di Fidelity e non un classico ETF, quindi la tua nuova piattaforma non ha proprio gli strumenti tecnici per ospitarlo nel suo catalogo. La buona notizia è che, trattandosi di un Roth IRA, hai un enorme vantaggio fiscale che puoi sfruttare a tuo favore. Dentro questo tipo di conto puoi vendere e comprare tutti gli asset che vuoi senza attivare nessuna penale e senza dover pagare tasse sulle plusvalenze. Il modo più semplice per aggirare il blocco è fare una mossa in tre passaggi direttamente dall'app o dal sito. Per prima cosa, vendi le tue quote di FXAIX rimanendo sempre dentro Fidelity, in modo da convertire tutto il valore in liquidità sul tuo saldo. Subito dopo, vai sulla tua nuova piattaforma e avvia la richiesta di trasferimento specificando che sposterai il conto sotto forma di contanti e non come titoli. Una volta che i soldi sono arrivati sani e salvi sul nuovo broker, ti basterà usarli per ricomprare un ETF equivalente che traccia lo S&P 500, come ad esempio VOO di Vanguard o IVV di iShares. Gli ETF si comportano esattamente come il fondo che avevi prima, hanno costi di gestione ridicoli e, soprattutto, sono scambiati universalmente, quindi se in futuro vorrai cambiare di nuovo piattaforma non avrai mai più questo problema. Ci vorrà qualche giorno per completare i passaggi, ma è l'unico modo pulito e a costo zero per uscirne.
Ciao! Tranquillo, è un problema super comune. Il motivo è che **FXAIX** è un fondo comune d'investimento proprietario di Fidelity, non un ETF, quindi la nuova piattaforma non può "ospitarlo" così com'è. Visto che ti trovi all'interno di un **Roth IRA**, hai un enorme vantaggio: puoi vendere e comprare asset dentro il conto senza pagare tasse sulle plusvalenze e senza alcuna penale. Per aggirare il blocco, fai così: 1. **Vendi FXAIX direttamente dentro Fidelity:** Converti le tue quote di FXAIX in liquidità (Cash/Core Position). Ripeto, trattandosi di un Roth IRA, questa operazione non genera eventi fiscali (no tasse). 2. **Avvia il trasferimento (ACATS) come "Cash":** Chiedi al tuo nuovo broker di avviare il trasferimento del Roth IRA specificando che trasferirai il saldo in contanti. 3. **Ricompra sul nuovo broker:** Una volta che i soldi arrivano sulla nuova piattaforma, usali per comprare un ETF equivalente sullo S&P 500 (ad esempio **VOO** di Vanguard o **IVV** di iShares). Gli ETF si muovono esattamente come FXAIX, hanno costi di gestione bassissimi e te li accettano ovunque se in futuro vorrai cambiare ancora broker. Ci vorrà qualche giorno per liquidare il fondo e completare il trasferimento, ma è l'unico modo pulito e a costo zero per farlo!
Wanted to play it safe and bought pico top of VOO like a retard. I’m not seeing that 2% back for weeks!
Find broker with margin interest rate less than the average annual return on VOO for infinite money glitch. Got it.
Yes, and no, I would say for him for someone who has a bunch of fractional shares. He probably be better off and more profitable, putting it all into spy or VOO or VUG.
Meh 10k ain’t the end of the world if you actually stop. The only thing you should gamble on are VOO shares going up lol, just work invest chill until you got them money you can afford to lose that is
The math just doesn't work on $150k for $2k/month in 10 years. That's a 16% annual yield on principal - basically impossible without taking massive risk or destroying your NAV. Best realistic path is growth first, income later. Park it in VOO or QQQ for 10-15 years, let compounding do its thing, then switch to a 4% withdrawal strategy. You'd need about $600k to safely pull $2k/month. The property idea is even worse with current rates - negative cashflow will eat you alive. Sorry but there's no magic bullet here.
I don't know where the idea came from that this is what "timing the market" refers to. If Buffet is invested in 10 companies, A-J, he's in the market. If he thinks that company A is overvalued™, he sells shares of company A, and he's still 90% in the market, because he's not trying to time the market. This gives him the opportunity to buy shares of company K if he thinks it's undervalued™ based on fundamentals. Cycling his portfolio according to his tastes of what it means to be over or undervalued, and according to his tastes of makes a valuation risky or not, so that he can prioritize companies with greater perceived potential relative to their risk and their price, is not "timing the market." That is "balancing a portfolio", which is a basic skill that everyone needs if their strategy is anything other than 1) buy VOO/IVV/VTI, 2) profit.
goddamnit i sold all my VOO last week and now i wanna buy again when they announce b.s like this
Investment property is unlikely to be able to generate 2k of free cash flow in just 10 years. I suppose its possible but seems unlikely, especially with just 150k initial investment. Next best option would be to park it in an index fund, such as VOO, for the next 10 to 15 years and then reallocate to something that pays dividends, or just draw directly from VOO. Other options include pivoting to HYS or CDs to continue to make interest while you take the 2k monthly payments. Also, if this is a retirement planning, 150k and 10 years is very compressed initial investment / timeline to be able to achieve retirement goals. Also paying the mortgage is only one aspect of retirement, will need to plan / budget for all expenses, not just housing.
People say this every year. Depending on your risk tolerance, if you want to buy equities, try not to time it. You could set a certain allocation of your portfolio to something like VOO and direct new cash flows into it based on how much it drifts from your target. Then you’ll be buying it low mechanically.
I personally think the AI trade is going to wind down over the next 12 months. VOO is too over-exposed. It’s as concentrated as it’s ever been. 40% of its total assets allocated to just 10 mega-cap tech stocks. It’s as much an AI momentum index as it is a diversified broad index. When the dot com bubble popped, the money shifted into the quiet compounders. Over the five years after the peak of the bubble, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index had a positive 36% return, while the Nasdaq fell 58%. I think we may see a similar situation where the weighted indexes fall as money rotates out of tech. Probably won’t be as dramatic. I still have growth and tech companies, I’m just orienting my portfolios center of gravity towards low volatility compounders as I think we’re nearing a correction. Obviously I could be completely wrong though.
Why do the research if you aren't trying to outperform the market? Might as well just buy an index fund like VOO.
Put some into VOO and Qqq maybe ,I’m not a financial advisor but you might want to get one
why are you investing based on a horoscope? at that point just throw your money in VOO or a MMF and be done with it crazy
No reason not to use VOO for both. FXAIX is a mutual fund which means your order gets executed after the close at whatever the closing prices of all the stocks in the underlying index are. VOO you can buy and sell with instant execution during market hours. You may not make very many transactions, but being able to do them during market hours is worth the 0.015% difference in expense ratio. It's also possible you might want to transfer your Roth somewhere else at some point, to some brokerage that doesn't support FXAIX although I think most will support it. People on this sub sweat expense ratios WAYYYYY too much.
Some of the broader market ETF's are usually the way to go. VOO & VTI
Just to add to this, sometimes you need a financial advisor when your estate gets more complicated. Like for example when you're older and planning in more details for retirement it can be good to speak to an expert about where you are. Also if you really want to just be passive pick a low cost fund like VOO or VTI to invest in.
Sold 3 covered calls on my VOO $500 a piece $685 strike 💅
How to the people at Vanguard face the embarrassment of VOO not being nearly as cool as SPY. If I look at SPY I can guess what the S&P500 is - if I look at VOO I make funny mouth sounds with the name.
Bought some TSM, some GOOGL, and some VOO. Seems like their on sale
Exactly! SPYM is super underrated. VOO hype is a bit annoying.
I had a typo in there and thank you for the feedback. I am leaning more VOO as well now.
VOO — learned this one the hard way — which part tho?
The lazy and smart way to go about things is to find alow fee diversified mutual fund or etf, either US market or World market, and just plow money into it. VT has a cult and is classic for a world total market fund. And any of the S&P 500 funds like IVV, VOO, or SPY are the classic American ones.
With a little education, you probably don't need a financial advisor until you hit a million or more in your account. Getting started in investing is dead simple; open a Roth IRA and buy a proven ETF like VOO or VT, and just keep contributing to it no matter what the market is doing. And don't touch for the next 40 years, other than to add more money. The 40 year average of the S&P 500 (VOO) is 9.8%/year. If you want to venture out more into picking stocks, then use 10% of your capital as your play around money.
If you use Fidelity or Schwab, they can provide a simple advisor to you, and if you create a simple ETF portfolio, you can invest your savings in a manner that will be reasonable with about 2-10 ETFs, and then as you get more experience, you can add some other things if you wish. A mix of S&P500 (VOO, IVV, etc) along with some international, small cap, mid cap, bonds, REITS, and others can do just fine. Some of my accounts are based on that, and they are doing great, and I have paid almosy nothing in fees for 20 years now. It just take a mentality of saving, diversity and low fees.
One day y'all will be old and fullporting VOO or shit
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing you. I don’t want to discourage you, but you really do need to learn more. Otherwise, just invest in VOO
Already picked up VOO and VXUS.
HYSA like Ally bank. If you want the money accessible and also add to it easily (like direct deposit some of your pay check to add to it). If you are more focused on investing and can wait a couple of days to access it then brokerage accounts will have some lower cost ETF to buy into treasury bills. Something like [SWVXX](https://client.schwab.com/SymbolRouting.aspx?symbol=SWVXX) for Schwab. To access money in [SWVXX](https://client.schwab.com/SymbolRouting.aspx?symbol=SWVXX) (or similar) you first need to sell out of it the xfer the money out to a linked bank account. A solid investment to put money into long term is typically an SP500 index fund like VOO or SPY to buy into the SP500 - leave it there for decades.
SPYM and VOO are pretty much identical we except for the expense. I prefer SPYM.
Yes, SPMO can be fine instead of VOO. (I just came to SPMO from you!) VTI is inferior than VOO, not attractive over a long period.
I don’t like holding broad sweeping index’s for the smaller companies. I believe companies like Avantis do a decent job of sifting through the weeds and trying to find value. The portfolio is basically 80/20 Domestic/ International. VEA is basically VOO for international. AVUV is Domestic Small Cap Value and AVDV is the equivalent for international but for developed economies. AVES adds in the Emerging Markets piece.
> QQQ and NANC for VOO Genuine question: if you really believe it's a massive bubble, why not something like RSP instead of VOO given that equal weight has about 14% less allocation to tech? Or even something like VTV with even less tech exposure?
retirement put it all in FXAIX , taxable brokerage dollars after retirement is maxed out in addition to the emergency fund goes into VOO
When you have a few million and you didn't get there by investing. Otherwise you just VOO/VT and chill, or read the Bogleheads website, and figure it out on your own. Your coworkers who are "heavily into investing?" Most likely they are gambling on volatile stocks and there's lots to talk about (like with sports betting). You should not see them as role models, and you should not FOMO into copying them.
RSP looks good but for me the .17% higher expense ratio than VOO is enough for me to pause.
If I were you I'd put that in a high yield savings account (I use Amex) and keep it as an emergency fund. It's your "if shit happens" account. Start investing monthly with money you make from your job. Most people will suggest just buying index funds like VOO
VOO, Copper, LNG and robotics in my humble opinion
If you ask this question to AI and or read the wiki and follow it maybe spend some time watching the right YouTube videos.....financial podcasts etc You can do it your self and avoid a lot of fees that compound over the years. Most basic advice - get broad market low cost index funds like SPYM VOO VTI QQQM VXUS VT If you mix it up with some variation of those (and no others) you will be fine. Make sure you are making a Roth if under the limit - if over the limit max a traditional 401k and keep shoveling money into taxable brokerage accounts. It is not super hard. Just takes literally a few hours of reading for the basics to make sense. Remember that good enough is good enough at 27 yrs old. If you start working out 1% for financial advisor at 27 and do so for 35+ yrs you are going to give away a lot of freaking money. If you really feel a financial advisor is your best bet this early - ask alot of questions and learn "why" and how. Then commit to learn enough to do it yourself after two years
If you are starting now - instead of VOO you could use SPYM - same holdings but SPYM expense ratio is lower (0.02 vs 0.03)
It can also keep pumping. How many people also had the same thesis between Aug 21 and May 22. Where are they now. Don’t trade. Don’t try and tone the market. Just keep buying VOO or equivalents and wait 30 years. It’s not that hard. You’re not smart enough to do anything else. Just admit that and be happier. I am.
I didn't account for the short term market panic and market sentiment that would result but in terms of meaningful fundamentals, what interrelations? Tesla is a B2C not a B2B company. In the long term, Every VOO holding in tech or nontech will be unscathed if Tesla ceases to exist tomorrow.
So because you tried to time the market you missed out on gains and now you have to find some way to cope. Timing the market is a fools errand. It will go up it will go down, but it will always be best just to invest. You should have just invested in VOO if you were this emotional.
IMO, The best are VOO, QQQ and SMH
Some folks are talking about hedging/shorting, but most retail individuals have no kind of training for it. Switching to VIG will keep you in exposure to AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, and META. VIG will also have a lot of our favorite guys from VOO like Costco, Visa, and JPM. You will miss out on AMZN, so you could just buy shares of that one. VIG has not done as well holding VOO, but I will also be moving some stuff around if the S&P comittee circumventd their standards for any of these sits. I won't be closing my entire SP5 position, but I won't consider it my core any more. It is becoming more like a highly needs technology fund in my mind.
Dumped my MSFT position for VOO... thought I was done holding SPACs and didn't think fear of dilution was something I had to think about holding a fucking Mag7 LMAO
