Most people lack patience these days. 1. Don't know crap about stocks. Invest in a broad ETF like VOO or VT. If its too boring go with SSO and WLDU (2x versions). Just be patient 2. Follow stocks closely/see high upside. Invest early/dca. Just be patient.
Sounds like trading is not for you. Time for VOO and chill

Check out the [Financial Order of Operations](https://moneyguy.com/guide/foo/#what-is-the-financial-order-of-operations-foo) or FOO for short. First save enough to cover your highest deductible. Then opt into saving on your employer retirement plan 401k at least up to the full employer match, it’s free money and the equivalent of 50-100% returns for every dollar you save. Then prioritize paying off any and all high interest debt, anything on credit cards, sometimes car loans, most debts with above 7-8% interest rate. This is REALLY important since high interest debt can drown you long term, compounding is not your friend here, but will be everywhere else. Then list out all your expenses in a month, really get a broad picture of what your lifestyle is costing on a regular basis (helps avoid lifestyle creep), save an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses in a High Yield Savings Account or money market fund, something with great liquidity and giving you around 3.3-3.8% interest growth. Then max out your Roth IRA and HSA (if available) each year, ideally investing in low cost broad market index funds like VT or VOO/VTI + VXUS. Most people will contribute monthly as they get paid, but if you have the cash lying around still after all the above feel free to put it all in at once, the sooner the better as compounding interest is now your friend. Then go back and max your 401k (often pre-tax contributions) for maximum tax advantaged investing for retirement. Again ideally in low cost broad funds like total US stock or S&P500, plus total international stock, but most plans should have a target date fund (TDF) that will get you close and give you some bond exposure closer to retirement age. After that, if you still have money left over, invest in a taxable brokerage, also in those broad market funds, so that your savings across everything is 20-30% of your gross income. This is considered a healthy portion to both properly save for retirement, but not overshoot your current spending and present quality of life. If you want to save more than by all means, it’s just not as necessary and I find it important to treat money as a luxury, it’s meant to serve a purpose beyond accumulation and you shouldn’t hurt yourself today to be better tomorrow when you can healthily do both. I would not recommend saving less than 15%, the math can get tight as to whether you would be expected to retire properly at that rate. For reference, I do all this myself, I save 25% of gross income and still don’t yet max out the 401k. I do put about $100/month in a taxable brokerage too despite it not being completely optimal, but I like maxing Roth IRA and doing about half 401k, and growing what can be more accessible disposable wealth on the side in case I want to retire early. I’ve been doing it for 5 years and feel miles ahead of some friends who make far more money but don’t manage it well.
Another day of reading these posts....another day of VOO and chillin
We’ve just seen an era of almost unprecedented mega/large cap growth. Perfect conditions for SPY. And yet, FNDX still fared surprisingly well. I think it’ll be the winner for a while going forward. I’d rather own it than SPY at the moment. In fact, I’m doing something similar now. Putting new funds into ETFs like IUS (also fundamental weighting), AVLV, and AVUV to mitigate the AI exposure in my VOO and hopefully position myself a bit better for uncertain times.
In fairness, this was during a time of almost unprecedented mega and large cap growth, which is a perfect environment for SPY. Another period could’ve produced a different result. But also, how did MTUM not beat SPY? From Jan 2017 through last week, the CAGRs were 16.8% vs 15.4%, and that’s after management fees/expense ratio. Btw, I own more VOO than any other single holding. So I’m definitely pro-S&P 500 index funds here. Just more wondering.
Just put it all in VOO And if you haven't been contributing to your Roth IRA, do that ASAP and then buy VOO in your Roth
Solid suggestion. But I don't see VOO go up before the midterm. It's more likely to pull back, I don't like the odds.
You need to VOO and chill.
Putting more into VOO is not pointless lmfao what Telling them to day trade what the fuck lmao
All I need is to get $10million in VOO, this gives me an easy million a year and don’t have to work. Geez, rich people have it so easy
If I had an extra $2.5k a month, I would enjoy a measurable QOL upgrade and then invest a significant portion of that into an index or a popular ETF (VOO, VT, VTI). Since you said you saved almost nothing for retirement and you're 36, I feel as if you should be investing 100% of it. If you don't have an emergency fund of 2-6 months of expenses and if you haven't paid off any high-interest debt, that should be your main focus while also putting money in 401ks and IRAs.
just put the same amount in VOO every month lmao its easy as that, and save like 10% for dips in market to buy more VOO.
OP is right. I build agentic harnesses & workflows for a living. Unfortunately I have to live / eat / breath the intersection of LLMs & developers. Devs are not giving two shits about which model they're using. Whichever is cheapest and governable in a harness. There's no loyalty. It's a total commodity. They bounce around from providers almost by the week. This is 100% a railroad situation. The only devs sticking with the same providers reliably are those employed by enterprise, which just sets us up for an identical structure of IBM mainframes back in the 80s. It will be a blip of rev in a sea of debt. I have 5 providers wired into my own harness, but at work I'm stuck with Claude. Positions: all VOO.
I mean wtf. You could just full port on VOO and let it ride but you wanna gamble hard. You could lose everything but then again you could win big and retire i guess. Buddy just dont take your life after losing it. I seen too many people who lost money and just end their own life. Been working at a casino for 6 years. You see alot of shit.

I paused my VOO scheduled buys and have been buying AVDV consistently instead. Doing pretty good too while getting that international exposure to profitable international small caps. It is still a very small % of the portfolio, my goal is to get it to around 10%. I wish i knew about it way back then.

Why not 67x it, then buy SPY and VOO
Papa says go just buy VOO and SGOV. Is this good for long term capital appreciation 🤓
Monthy or every paycheck is fine. If you automate it that's even better. Buy VT, VTI/VOO + VXUS, or a low fee target date fund. Personally I would consolidate everything for simplicity's sake. I'd also probably use one of the major brokerages. Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab. Not the biggest deal though, if you like Robinhood that's fine. The main disadvantage of Robinhood is just that they push gambling on you. In savings a good catch all is 6 months expenses + enough to cover any large known expenses that will come up in the next 5-10 years such as cars, moving expenses, deposits, etc. Basically you want enough so that when everything goes wrong at once you don't have to resort to debt or drawing down investment accounts. You could do 3 months expenses if your position in life is pretty low risk (in demand job, spouse who works, etc) or a year if it's high risk (kids, sole income, bad job market, etc). Some people even push it out to 2 years. Only you know what's appropriate. Tax advantaged accounts are free money. Investing money in taxable accounts before tax advantaged accounts are maxed is generally counter productive. Give the government as little as possible. As for how much to invest that really depends on you. I suggest going to a compound interest calculator, running some different contributions for 30 years at 5% interest (8% average returns-3% inflation), and seeing what you get. I have expenses, an amount I think is reasonable to spend every month on whatever I want, a little carve out to save for vacations and other short term goals, and then I invest everything else. And I'm confident that should be enough to retire on. I actually have similar income to you and I basically max all retirement accounts and then don't invest more so $23,500 + $7,000 + $4000 (minus whatever im getting from company match).
look buddy, i am going to help U and tell U to stay away from here and throw all ur money into VOO and don't ever look at this sub
Your investing stratify is like mine. Don’t care if you get a huge setback because it’s all or nothing. You are or a winner or a loser because second place doesn’t exhaust. I get it. But just remember double or nothing only goes so far because you are one news article or new bill away from a stock dropping beyond what you’re willing to lose. Losing 100k feels way worse than the achievement of making 100k. I hope you have a goal where you say ok done all in VOO. I hope me and you get there before we hit rock bottom.
I bought VOO and VOOG at the same time as a test, love them both.
For alternatives with actual leverage without the daily reset drag: 1. Portfolio margin + low-cost index ETF — Buy SPY/VOO on margin at 1.2-1.5x. You get real continuous leverage, not path-dependent daily reset. Interest rate is the drag (~5-6% now), but over long horizons it's cleaner math than SSO's vol decay. 2. LEAPS calls on SPY — Deep ITM, 1.5-2yr out. Delta ~0.7-0.8 gives you synthetic leverage with defined downside (you can only lose the premium). No margin calls, no daily reset. The "hassle" is rolling every ~18 months. 3. Just don't. If you're truly long-term buy-and-hold, the boring answer is often correct: 100% VOO, let compounding do the work. Adding leverage to a retirement portfolio is like adding nitrous to a commuter car — technically works, statistically ends badly. The 1.3 beta figure from the comment above is spot-on. SSO's effective leverage over multi-year periods is far below 2x due to volatility drag. You're paying 2x risk for ~1.3x return. If you still want juice, the margin route is the least-bad option for a set-and-forget investor.
I’ll give you some legit helpful insight without trolling you. Accept that stocks are not a get rich quick scheme and also accept options while they can give you greater returns at the end of the day your gambling. I avoid buying options entirely, I started with around 2k from my tax return my first year of working and did exactly the same thing you have done. Truth is a come back is not likely from 300$ in the time frame you’d like. You need to get a stable income from a job or whatever it is you must do and build back little at a time. This was a tough pill for me to swollen now time went on I’d throw what I could comfortably afford back into my brokerage and I just simply purchased VOO up until I got back to where I started around 2k from there just trade shares buy on bloody red days companies with strongish fundamentals depending on your risk tolerance, sell when high repeat. I did this up until around 6k which came faster a bit faster just throwing into VOO and adding each pay day. Once I got to 6k I started selling options only I’d either 1 stock that I believed in when I felt it was a good time to buy I’d snag 100 shares and sell calls on that stock weekly for premium at a .25 delta until the shares were assigned away. You collect all the premium plus if you consistently sell above your average you take profit at assignment as well. Some weeks it’s best to do nothing if things dive patience will serve you good. I’ve been doing this up to 20k and will continue as you grow try to start diversifying your companies and learn about selling puts on stocks you’d like to own but not at current price you get paid to wait (CSP or cash secured puts) then sell calls on them once you do get assigned. A lot of professional and smart investors will say never full port one stock but I disagree diversifying becomes most important as your money grows but will not allow quicker growth as concentration on one solid company will. Just don’t do this on cheap penny stocks or no name companies that are many many years from development if they even last. Some solid picks that are in cheaper range would be things like APLD, ASTS, RKLB, IREN, NFLX to name a few. Though note there is still risk, this is where treating things like your buying an actual business is crucial do your research don’t just dive in anything and everything. I use Reddit to get ideas see what companies are on others radar but always research the company before making decisions. Start accepting growth takes time and avoid buying options. If you do want a better risk to reward ratio buy some leaps long dated as far out as you can and trade those but keep it simple at first don’t cap your upside by selling short calls against your leap. Especially when things are newer to you. If your right and the stock takes a decent move quickly you’ll get a sweet return if your wrong you bought yourself some time for your thesis to play out. Take it slow learn from this you’ll bounce back. Long read but people eager to learn do not shy away from paragraphs.

I am VOO, VXF and VXUS till infinity. VBil for dry powder. VTip for inflation later in life. VIG, VIGI, SCHD, SCHY to generate some cash tax free because tax bracket is 12%.
I’m a complete beginner with a few positions (VOO,NVDA,LLY). So bond market going up makes stock market go down?
the problem is that bears think they are geniuses. but they aren't. probably missed out on the VOO gains and feel bitter. but maybe they should just buy CLO bond etfs and chill... so they don't have to think.. cause they ain't geniuses
I'm going HARD this week (opened a Roth IRA and buying the fuck out of VOO dips) FUCK OPTIONS
It isn’t and I’ve dialed back to VOO for the most part and the occasional covered calls on the NVDA shares I’ve amassed over the years as being a SWE, my day job pays me really well where I dot need to be actively trading as I once was. The time tradeoff is 100% true and same for myself as well and had to be brutally honest in accepting that my edge was eroding and I was okay with that and have since just went more in on the long term horizon. Unfortunately OP has some sense unlike the masses that have been getting farmed on these recent, non continuation days we’ve been having in certain markets. After doing this for a number of years and finally dialing back and seeing the risk tolerance for many, I know understand why we as retail will always remain as fodder lol
Not the response I was expecting, truthfully just VOO n chill I can’t stress enough of the amount of liquidated ports I come across in an eight hour session. If you don’t know much about options, then the education part of it comes first The best piece of advice I can give having done a mix of futures and options over the years is that unless you get extremely lucky or have a decent edge, you’re going to lose it all if you don’t manage risk correctly Trading at its heart is managing risk. Do not become another r/wsb statistic.
I love you retards buying up MRNA after the 170% run-up, the 400k round trip guy, and the HTZ/WEN regards retardmaxxing. when I go to other stock subs it's all "VOO and chill my good sirs 🤓" god bless you fellow retards may your options print and your Wendy's never close down
Seems like you need to be more like a VOO and chill kinda guy 😂
I do daily buys in VOO. It’s the one thing I never want to sell.
All I need is a 250x bagger next week and I’ll delete Robinhood, move 75% of my money to VOO move 25% to a bond that matures in 2060 and then delete the Vanguard app. You’ll never hear from me again.
Did I say they are not doing well? They are worth 4.2 trillion dollars. You can just buy VOO here and take much less risk long term.
I'll answer both you and OP. For OP: The data is not fully clear or complete as it doesn't include both open and close prices. Merely percentage change to "base". But what you can draw from it is that escalator down mechanism vs slow climb upwards (more downward dots past -4 and the blue dot past -10). Can't say for sure without much more info but it's mostly that and psychological number points of breaking past round number hurdles for both humans and algos. TL;DR Either way you won't be able to milk any alpha from it. For you: 1. Stay long. Ignore 🌈🐻/Kramer. 2. Avoid BTC/GLD pump if scared. Hold a bit of ST cash like Buffet/Dalio/Trump. 3. Everything in the markets are overvalued but I'm allocating to AXP or LVMUY outside of my monthly DCA into VOO/IWM. I think they might still have legs going into the end of the year. Proof? None really. [I did say to buy BLK like month ago and it has been up +17% since.](https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1ueagt6/disregard_private_credit_liquidity_tests_acquire/) Don't listen to folks online.
I'm a fan of keeping things simple, along with your age what I would do is something easy like 65% VOO 25% QQQM 10% VXUS
I mean you can have theta (the decay) work for you and not against you using different strategies, honestly I am shocked that you have not learned this yet with this large of an account, You have basically been rolling a large rock up a hill but I'm surprised it didn't crush you, I worked as a previously registered investment advisor and stock broker before my back has gotten so bad with idiopathic scoliosis and no solution and not a candidate for surgery that I'm waiting for disability income, and I will never be able to do a full time regular job so this is it for me , I've learned for over 12years but because of poverty mindset I never broke out I really want to encourage you that if I was well enough where you are dear God put some away with some for of target date retirement fund or VOO or SPY (ofc once a viable dip presents itself) but please dear God don't keep trading single legged options with this size of money, at least without learning more about every strategy you can do with this, even with smaller sums You do realize pattern day trader rules are gone? I would immediately take out 100k or more and just start start an account with 2k God speed! Check out theo trade with don Kaufman he's one of the creators of think or swim and teaches , even his free weekend videos are amazing and can get you more curious about how you might squeak better edge out with this size of an account without risking so frickin much
I'm more worried about short term. Whether Walmart will be able to regain my 15% loss faster than VOO or VT will return 15%
This is interesting and I applaud investing your own money for the test. However, the 'beware' in the title is misguided. - you didn't lose money with any of those ETFs, at least in nominal terms. - you didn't know in 2017 what would happen by 2026. - that last ~9 years don't predict the next 10 years, and the last ~9 years may or may not be typical. from 2003 to 2013, RSP outperformed SPY by a wide margin. https://imgur.com/a/v4Uow9Z - SPY is not necessarily an appropriate control or benchmark for all those ETFs. for example QUAL uses the MSCI USA Sector Neutral Quality Index as a benchmark, not the S&P 500. Comparing every investment on the planet to SPY/VOO is a common error I see on reddit. - as others mentioned, some of the ETFs may have smaller drawdowns -- which certain investors might prefer. some of those ETFs might also have higher dividend income potential, which is also a perfectly valid strategy for those who want it.
😂 VOO catching strays here. But honestly, an 8% drawdown shouldn't matter nearly as much as whether you actually believe in the thesis. If a normal pullback is already making you panic, the position might just be too big for your comfort level.
Dude if VOO doubled with the amount of money he has, OP might be able to buy 64 gigs of ram. Think about the possiblities.
Sell VOO and buy SLS
I’m saying this sincerely. If you’re that paper handed go back to VOO
You should have an investing plan for your income. For most people it is 401k. But it should be Roth and taxable as well. Something should automatically invest. There shouldn’t be large amounts of cash accumulating. For most VOO and chill is just fine. Or pay a pro to manage the money in a balanced way. But self management is fine assuming y or will progress and not panic sell.
Put it all into VOO and log off. You've got your whole life ahead of you, focus on that.
How much you're investing really depends on how much of that income needs to be spent (rent groceries other bills yk) then maybe go half and half with the rest spending money and investing, as for a portfolio split having a strong cash position is good and a moderate portion of your portfolio should be some kind of index fund like VOO or QQQ with low allocations for high volatility stocks or crypto as that can be beneficial but also blow up your portfolio with too high of an allocation, maybe use something like fidelity for your longer term holdings like bonds or gold
On the bright side, you have learned a super painful lesson very early on in your investing career. VOO and chill now moron.
Lesson learned just invest in VTI and VOO from now on and call it a day
And how much more would you have made just parking it in something like SPY or VOO?
VOO, SPY, QQQ and keep adding your salary.
How much do you need to lose before you stop? I lost 4k and hung my shit jersey in the rafters 😂 Time for gay boomer VTSAX & VOO stonks
Year to date youre up less than 3%. Just stick to $SPY or $VOO. You clearly cant do this right. Underperforming being lazy by 9%
S&P 500 YTD 12% ME YTD 12.51% I wanted to see if I could beat VOO this year and as of 8/21/2026 I am only .5% up. It is hard to beat the S&P and a messed up on two big trade and if I had not done so would be at 15%. If I can't outrun VOO I am going to just VOO and chill.
you need to stick to VOO bro "I'll wait for the trend to be confirmed" mfs when they miss 90% of the move and then hodl through a 20% loss
now that the mag 7 has vacuumed up all the dumb boglehead VOO money just like real estate pre 08 vacuumed up all the dumb boomer money, the rug can be pulled and the next cycle of wealth transfer from poor to rich can begin with a new asset class
Honestly? Without DRTS which I’ve never fucking heard of this dude would be sucking a tailpipe right now. He’s already got some VOO. Maybe stick with that.
My SCHD shares have somehow made me more money than my VOO shares have since start of year
My weekly QQQ call is now up 70% please please please go to 730 QQQ and I can finally stop doing options and full port VOO
Just buy VOO or VTI and a bit of VXUS and you will beat the wealth management returns.
In a financial repression scenario the top performing assets will be gold and bitcoin/crypto because they operate outside of the government control. Stocks, such as VOO, perform second best. Look at gold and bitcoin now. It’s not surging for no reason. These assets starting surging immediately when Bessent announced debt intervention yesterday and haven’t stopped surging since.
Literally more fuckers here own MU shares than VOO
I put 5% in each of: ASTS, SLS, HOVR, ONDS, LUNR. Then the rest VOO and chill
SPY SPXL XOP XLC and Amazon around 2020. Then lost a bunch in 22-23 following tips from some dude on twitter but was buoyed by WM and NVDA and COIN. Lately, 24-25, it’s been QQQ, VOO and VXUS.
Oh I look at them everyday, don't listen to that noise. Those are the people that just say buy VOO and chill. I enjoy looking at my stocks and researching daily. I can start noticing trends and on big red days I like to buy more. I guess it depends on how much free time you have.
Since you don’t want to pull up graphs, here is the comparison of total return of two most popular funds over the last 15 years: Dividends (SCHD) 572%. SP500 (VOO) 728% Dividends eat share price. And SCHD is one of the best.
I have one thats 100% in VOO. I have a "fun" one where I actively swing trade also... this is the one I'd pull from in a pinch since nothing in it is held long term anyway
Did you know that VOO is a really good investment? If you buy consistently, you could average a 10% annual return over 30 years!
I'm not too concerned with the bottom, I'm mainly worried about the ceiling. Some stocks drop below the ATH, never to return. If I was confident that it would eventually reach ATH again at a pace that beats the SP500, it wouldn't be a big deal. If it's going to continue to trade below ATH for years, id rather sell and buy VOO
VOO goes from up 4% over the last month to up 3% over the last month Redditors: THE BUBBLE IS POPPING
Kind of like how the majority of us would have gains if we would just VOO and chill.
i would just invest almost all of it. Stocks are liquid enough and I wouldn't expect the ETF to drop to 0 assuming they are something like VOO or SPY. I'd keep like 10k maybe and just pull out from the ETF when needed
Who watches a stock rocket over 150% and then buys? What the fuck dude? Sell and put everything else into VOO. Forget everything aside from your monthly 401k and a couple hundred to VOO. Never look at it again until you are 59 and thinking about retirement.
I own gold ETFs, physical gold (and silver), and gold mining stocks. The gold ETFs I bought in 2019 are up +200%. I invested $300k in physical gold and silver in 2019 that is currently worth $665k. My gold mining stocks are up +100-200% in less than 2 years. I have been buying more of the gold ETF IAUM recently despite being already heavily allocated to precious metals because I am bullish on gold at current levels, and I'm not the only one https://command.verifiedinvesting.com/vi/research/gold-cycle My best performing gold mining stocks vs VOO: https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/compare/iag-vs-au-vs-ccj-vs-gfi-vs-kgc-vs-aris-vs-ego-vs-drd-vs-voo/?r=5Y If you don't want to invest in individual gold mining stocks you can use ETFs like GDX or SGDM. You can buy physical gold at a local coin shop, at Costco r/CostcoPM, from online dealers https://findbullionprices.com/, or here on reddit r/Pmsforsale.
Fomo. You have to decide, sell at lost. And invest in VOO to recover 800 lost can be easily regain if you hold it enough
Great now move that shit into your long term and buy VOO you sick bastard
the VOO & chill lazy boglehead dogshit era is coming to an end imo. its so dogshit to be held hostage by mag7 nvidia and micron
I'm about to rebalance 90% of my 401k into a stable value fund and money market fund. Only 10% will be kept in FID500. Most of my IRA is in a money market fund right now, too. Count me among the people who would actually be okay with a 10-20% correction. Then I'll rebalance 75% of my 401k back into FAVOX and I'll buy back into VOO for my IRA.
Had you just put that money in VOO 4 years ago, you would have over $200K today.
