Buying individual stocks is incredibly risky. If you are concerned about tech valuations buy industrial etf like XLI or value stock etf like VTV.
Those are very small drops, but they could just be the beginning. I am personally much more diversified this year compare the past. Added about 20% bond, 20% international and 10% defensive index such as VDC and VTV.
A healthy mix of VTV + SCHD pretty much do this for me.
FMTM, SHLD, VTV(less risky balance sheets w VTV) gotta moderate my risk
SHLD. VTV. i want arms and cyber security exposure while also having value focused companies w strong balance sheets
protect my gains? i have 40 years left to invest. chase more gains thru FMTM, SPMO, and VTV
I am not a broker, nor an expert in the market. If I were you now, I would open a vanguard account and put money in VUG, VTV and VTI. Vanguard Growth ETF, Vanguard Value and Vanguard Total Stock Market. At your age (I'm in my late 50s) I would put most in VUG which is a growth ETF (Exchange traded fund), the second most in VTV and lastly the VTI. Just let it sit, pretend you never had it. Work hard, work long and that money will make it possible for you to retire early if you want, Each year, sell some off and put $8,000 into a ROTH IRA via Vanguard also. When that is available to you, it will be tax free regardless of growth. I wish you the best!
I shifted about a third of my portfolio into VTV at the start of January and have been pretty happy with the results so far. I also have a fair amount in utility ETFs/CEFs that have done well.
I've been adding to VTV & SCHD much heavier the last 12 mos.
VXUS has the added benefit of getting you away from tech since the largest companies outside America tend to not be tech stocks. There's no reason to hold individual stocks. If you want to hold US stocks that are less concentrated in tech just buy a value index such as VTV or or AVLV.
I'm mostly loading up defensively. VTV and the energy sector.
VTV and VTI are clearly not substantially identical. Wealthfront and Betterment have published white papers on their tax loss harvesting methods and they use index funds that are very similar, but which follow indexes from different index or providers. The IRS has not objected. The IRS has not even objected to swapping between ETFs that follow the same index, such as SPY and VOO, which are both SP500 ETFs. That is pushing it too far for my taste, but I do TLH between VTI, ITOT, and SCHB which are in total US market ETFs, but the index providers are different.
That sounds like an excellent technique, assuming the gap happens frequently enough, as it accentuates the move, and the broader market (either VTV or VTI) are likely to recover eventually after any downturn, which might not happen to a single company, no matter how big. I think that this is my new plan. I briefly thought of something similar to avoid wash sale triggers a few months ago, designed to generate some losses. Now I feel that after the initial concentrated stock move, I should watch for short term downturns from the initial buy, and move lots between VTV and VTI and/or VOO and VGT. I dont want to get too deep into timing things, but this seems pretty safe, and almost like not moving as these positions are largely the same (except for the value option), but not **Substantially Identical**. Do you think that this is crazy?
Others have commented on your tech-heavy investments. You’re also in most specific stocks and not ETFs. There are ideological arguments around that, but generally ETFs are stabler. Another consideration is your investing horizon, are you looking for maximum near-term growth, stable long-term growth, or maximum near-term stability? If you want diversity, consider adding non-US ETFs (Vanguard VEA), less-tech dominant value-companies (Vanguard VTV), diversified US ETFs (VOO or VTI). There are also thematic ETFs (energy, infrastructure, consumer staples, defense). And hedges (commodities, non-US ETF, etc) if you aren’t bullish on US dollar. If you want a hands-off approach, target-date investment funds. An advisor is highly likely to move away from single-stocks (for the most part) and prefer ETFs because of the inherent risk mitigation associated with them. You likely don’t need to pay for an advisor unless (1) you can’t stop yourself from trading and you want to, (2) you want someone actively trading for you, or (3) you’re really trying to maximize near-term returns and willing to have someone be risky. Outside of those conditions, you’re likely better off with low-fee ETFs, index, or target-date funds. Personally, I’m pretty near-ish on the current US market valuations and I’ve done extremely well with gold-ETF (IAU), defense ETF (NATO), and non-US ETF (VEA + Fidelity equivalent) and very so-so with VTI, QQQ, and US-growth stocks. But that’s recency bias and potentially not reliable in 2026 and beyond.
The selling on perceived bumps in value is what I have been doing. In addition to the price of your concentrated position you should monitor its price relative to VTV (or whatever else replacement you use). I sell when my concentrated position is high relative to VTI.
You make some really good points here. I am OK without the position (75% loss), but there will be little freedom and inheritance to pass on, so not critical to re-balance at the expense of tax loses. I would be a bit over my skis with that aggressive long/short strategy, but I will look into it. I was also thinking of fairly aggressive selling the concentration over time on perceived bumps, and using those dollars to buy VTV, which by its very nature excludes the overvalued mag 7, but is still looking for growth of large cap and with a smallish expense ratio. Thoughts?
I've been doing $75 a week split into VOO, VTV, and IWF. It's been good. Does best when I dont look.
Market is doing amazing if your in anything other than market is doing great if your diversified beyond S&P. Only thing doing bad is growth. VBR is up over 9% DISV is up over 12% VTV is up over 8% and VXUS is up over 8%.
I’ve got some money on a seven year timeline mostly in VT with some VTV as well.
If it's being juiced, buy the juice. He will not dump his shares at IPO. If you really think there is something going on that doesn't elsewhere, buy and short hold. I suggest having other concerns. Indexing is plenty diversified. Or find alternative indexes that would be less invested like QUAL or VTV
Value has been performing well so far this year. VTV, for instance, is up 7%+ since the start of the year.
Timeline and goals advice: ==================== 40 USA Employed. Unmarried. $280,000 Goal is to cut way back on work. In 5 years go part time. Risk tolerance quite high. Mortgage $1300. Car paid off. No student loans. Investments: VUG 98k VEA 96k VWO 35k VTV 90k Individual Stocks 90k Mostly Tech and compounders like ORLY MCK MSFT LLY and Google. ============== The problem is I can’t get a clear answer on how much I’ll need to live off, and how much I can cut back my hours. What my time table actually is. I both love and hate my job. The stock market is incredibly volatile, and with the dollar amount I have it swings by the thousands most days. But overall it seems to seesaw. It was crazy during Covid, and of course with Trump. I missed the first half of bull market paying off loans. Kicking myself and frustrated. Feel stick.
Nice! I use VBR and VTV, so this is welcome for me.
Yeah I’ve done a terrible job explaining myself. My question is: How do I know what to invest in after I sell and move on from silver? I don’t want risky, just steady growth. I have VOO and VTV so do I put my silver earnings into that and call it a day?
New ATH for vanguard value VTV. Boomers win again
MU trades at a forward PE of 11. Its a part of passive value ETFs like VTV and VLUE, and factor-tilted ETFs like AVLV and DFUV. If you don't think it's value because the company is actually growing revenue and earnings, then you're not helping with the allegations that value investors hate making money.
Really just ETFs... VTV, IVE, VLUE. RPV is sort of an "aggressive" deeper value fund. I just looked and I was SO heavy in tech and felt it was time to pull back. I had a ton of my 401k in SMH and S&P 500 market weighted ETFs - and they did very well (SMH in particular) , but I am thinking we may be looking at a pull back in tech and others. I still want to be in the market, but I have more downside risk with Value.
I've shifted more toward value (VTV) for at least the first half of the year. Beyond that, I'm not altering my approach.
I've just been shifting toward VTV and will probably continue to buy more for at least the first half of this year.
Looking over VTV it seems to be less top heavy which is one of things I'm looking for, this seems like a good option
Time will tell if it's the right move, but I shifted a significant portion from tech heavy etfs into VTV at this start of this year.
This right here. I've been feeling a little tech heavy, so I've been putting new funds to VTV
Thank you and good point. My goal is to diversify my portfolio that is very heavy in large cap individual holdings. I'd love to do SPY or VTI or similar, but that essentially doesn't help me diversify since such a large portion of those ETFs are concentrated in the same 7-8 large caps that I already hold individually. So, I was thinking of something like VTV, but saw EQWL and I almost want the additional exposure to small and mid-cap that it gives vs a weighted value ETF. It also has a performance record that's fairly impressive (yes, I understand past performance is no guarantee...). Though, if I am diversifying to hedge and protect against a downturn, VTV has a lower Beta...
I don't see the problem regarding the dividend, but otherwise, I also don't like SCHD much. Maybe it serves as a defensive holding, but total returns since the start of 2022 have been pretty anemic. That being said, I have shifted significantly toward value as a more defensive and diversified approach to 2026, but chose to replace some of VOO and a few other tech heavy holdings in favor of VTV.
The downside is that both are top heavy in tech. I'm not convinced on the oft-predicted impending AI crash doom, but I'm still hedging my bets. I've reduced a lot of my tech related holdings and have instead reallocated a significant portion into value (VTV, specifically) as a defense in case it happens. I'm not sure it's the right play in 2026 for maximum returns if the bull market continues, but I definitely feel better about my diversification now if it doesn't.
The companies you listed are tech and they're all overvalued. Consider a value company ETF like VTV, treasuries (SGOV), or something with less volatility
I'm shifting some away from VOO and the tech sector and plan to invest more into VTV and some sector defensives (XLU and XLV) this year.
lol 1 year chart of VTV was 15.8% and VOO was 16.8%. Most of my funds are still in VOO and other growth stocks, just not my current contributions each month. What’s your point?
I've started shifting away from VOO and tech and primarily into VTV, which I'll be adding along with XLU and XLV this year. I want to play this year more defensively.
That index in particular tries to replicate a value index with the same sector composition as the SP500, so there's a ton of tech stocks that aren't very volatile like MU or INTC. In the US is a rare index to use as VLUE is not a common ETF, but the European IUVL is. VTV doesn't have this issue for example.
I do a mix of VT, VIG, VTV, VBR...shit is solid.
Remember to diversify your sp500 with some Value VTV
Thanks for the data point. Thats about my target. I recently adjusted new contributions to my 401k to ~25% Value fund and have about 15% of current and new investments in my taxable brokerage account allocated to VTV.
Right now I’m around 10% VTV and 4% BRK. But VTV is where most of my money is going when I invest each month in my brokerage, Roth IRA, and I have a similar fund in my 401k as well. Once I am in the 20-25% range in VTV, I’ll probably adjust so future contributions to it are about 25%
What percentage of your portfolio does VTV comprise? I’ve also been buying VTV for this reason.
I’m still super bullish on the AI revolution but I’m not trying to get wiped out if the tech sector takes a breather. That’s why I’m layering in some **VTV** and **BRK.B**. It’s basically my **downside protection**. If the 'Magnificent Seven' start to wobble these value plays act like a shock absorber for my portfolio. I’m staying long on tech but I’m not doing it without a seatbelt.
I think the answer you’re looking for is probably a value-based etf. I’ve been putting money into VTV for similar reasons. Obviously anything can happen, but the focus is on companies that have certain dynamics like low PE ratios. They’re likely to be less impacted during downturns Also, something like BRK is good to hold. Plenty of diversity within the company
They have an ETF for that... VTV Just saying 😉
Not equivalent but relevant: VFQY ( quality factor) VTV ( value US ) then a lot of VBIL and bingo
The answer is not to pull your investments, it’s to keep it balanced and diversify. If you have too much tech, then consider a positions of VTV and AVUV to offset. Got a huge of SMH or FSELX? Consider SOXQ instead for less Nvidia concentration. Consider a dry powder position with JPST, and have it ready to buy more equity shares if the market drops.
Not the right place. Any S&P fund isn't bubble proof right now because the biggest bubble right now is also filled with 5/6 biggest market cap stocks in the world. What you're looking for is VTV, VYM, or SCHD. When the bubble pops 100% VOO.
Value index gains as folks run from big tech, resulting in a stagnant S&P. VTV looking like a good ETF right now. I can see JEPI and/or JEPQ selling more shares, folks looking for gains via monthly dividends. EX-US may see continued growth, particularly foreign value. FIVA may do well.
Why not sub VYM or VTV instead of having single sector risk. I like value here and you could buy a pullback in growth later.
Wouldn’t that be investing in like VTV?
You’re going to have to figure out when to re-renter the market. I would buy at least SGOV or ICSH and VTV for now instead of just sitting on it.
I bought some VTV over time but it doesn’t do exactly what I m looking for. With VTV , you’re doubling down on the 300 value stock and are not exposed to the 193 (200-7) smaller grow stock. I want to own those growth stocks - just diversify away out of those mag7.
Heres my stock port: SPY (123), QQQ (44), CIBR (131), SMH (31), VTV (54), SCHB (2,320), GOOGL (61) $230,770.
I had a few small 5x to 10x in that era and was lucky to recognize a few because of needing to buy a home in the bay area. Other than that I have only 10x 2 other companies that I did buy and hold for 10+ years. I will continue to buy stocks here and there, but fundamentally, I know diversified index styles are the main play long term. I go outside broad indexes too - VGT, VTV, QUAL. All with risk.
wtf just happened to VTV
The 1 percent fee is one of the biggest rip-offs known to man. No, you don't need a financial adviser. It sounds like she explained some things to you, maybe what an ETF was. You don't need her anymore. Put your money in ETFs such as Vanguard--VTI, VTV etc. Maybe buy a couple of blue chip individual stocks. Put some money in CDs with varying dates of maturity. Right now just keeping money in a money market fund gets you a good rate of return too. If you are young, your best investment may be a house.
I’m reducing my large cap growth exposure a bit and moving to some VTV. Adding more gold and will continue to Buy some more IBIT (3% at most) as it falls more. I still don’t love bonds. I have a strong 15% int’l position and still adding more fspxs in my 401k (I may rebalance my contributions when I get close to 20%). Side note: been trying to get the lady to sell some of her aapl. She has 215k worth. Begging her to take some profits and rebalance (even like 10-15k). She refuses. Am I wrong ??
Here are today's returns. Why can't the market just let the bubble burst? Why are the most expensive companies bouncing the most? It's ridiculous how inefficient the market is. ARKK: 4.69% TSLA: 6.82% PLTR: 4.78% QTUM: 3.25% Vanguard Value ETF (VTV): 0%
Chiming in with the "dump SCHD, DGRO, and BND" folks. These are not what a young person needs to grow their portfolio for retirement. I know you say you like the criteria used to pick the holdings in SCHD and DGRO and you want to favor those types of companies. That's value investing and it can be a good choice. But you have better options than SCHD and DGRO. Check out: RWL, VTV, FFLV, DVY, CGVV, and PVAL. I own PVAL and love it, but think all of these are great value funds. Also, you haven't mentioned this aspect of your plan, but if you haven't already, I would ditch Robinhood for Fidelity, Schwab, or Vanguard. Robinhood may have a great interface and some excellent features, but it also really tends to gamify investing and lure people into risky and advanced stuff that can get them into trouble.
I completely feel you !! I sold all my S&P at close break even, I don’t want growth and more money right now instead my priority is not to loose money. I’m only doing value & dividend investing like VTV SCHD & don’t have Mag 7. I’m happy with the slow and steady return. Please do your own research. This is not a financial advice, and I am not a financial advisor.
You don't HAVE to invest in nVIDIA or even over-valued tech stocks you know. You could trade VTV or
VTV if you want more tilt towards finance sector….
What you're saying is better achieved through factor investing. Basically, you keep VOO/VTI as a major portion of your stock investments, and then add tilts like value, dividends, small cap, sectors like real estate, etc. So you can have something like 50% VTI, 20% VXUS, 10% VTV/SCHD, 10%VB/VBR, 10% VNQ, etc. That way you still get some gains from growth/overall market, but tilt your investments to be less top heavy.
Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) $171.00 -$16.15 (-8.63%)Overnight Uh...wtf?
Why SPHQ over SPMO? Just curious, I just bought some SPMO recently. What do you like about SPHQ? Spmo has a 5 yr return of 130% with an expense ratio of .13%. Sphq has a 5 yr return of 81% and .15% fee. Sphq's dividend is higher though, 1.07% to .64%. Does sphq leans towards value and spmo leans towards growth? I bought a really good value etf, VTV. Check it out. .04% fee and 2.09% yield.
I'm switching a significant portion of my VOO holdings to VTV and VYM. I'm not going to collapse just because NVDA runs out of lotion and hands.
VTV is like the SP500 without the Mag7.
You stay the course or diversify. Identify the ETFs that are most vulnerable. Instead of investing more heavily in common index funds like VOO or QQQ, you can diversify with DGRO (holds less tech, lower PE) or VTV which is more value focused. The U.S. in particular is vulnerable so global diversification can help, but EFV would give you the same value tilt with global stocks. Ultimately, when the bubble bursts, everything will go with it. Diversifying might save you a 10-15% decline and you might recover a little quicker, but very little, if anything, will be saved from a crash.
If you are concerned of overvalued stocks, you may try RSP (equal weighted s&p 500) or some 'wide' value or dividend ETF like VTV or VYM (they won't include 'overpumped' stocks).
You said you got into day trading with help of a friend, someone suggested to get some ETFs below, which is what you should have done from the start. You have to change your style, I thought I could do options because of Instagram people, and then was like, yeah naw, not doing that. You were doing homework when you were day trading? So do the homework looking up ETFs. Sounds like your dad was trying to hand gift you things, now reset refocus, do some research. VOO and VTV are in my Roth IRA. Qqqm and VTV are in my taxable brokerage. Search compare etf similarity stock, you don’t want to have ideally qqqm and VOO, qqqm is 100% of VOO, but you also started as day trader, from the start?? Good luck to you. It just Feels like a pick me girl post. I had the option to not interact, and I did.
VTV has had 278% gains since 2004 vs over 1600% gains for Nasdaq 100. I'm not sure how any amount of "risk adjusting" can rectify that
I had to look up TSP, that should tell you how little I know about investing. I would say the **I fund** should be at part of your portfolio. https://www.tsp.gov/funds-individual/ I keep 40% in VTV, 20% in VXUS (similar to the I fund) and 30% VBLTX. The remainder is older Bond shares that I just let ride. Like you, I'm concerned about overvalued stocks and volatility. I highly recommend Jack Bogle's seminal treatise, it simplified my plan. https://www.thegoodlifejourney.com/home/common-sense-investing-jack-bogle
I think "risk adjusted" is kinda woo woo and can't really be nailed down to a mathematical formula but in my gut feeling it's a great way to describe my thinking in this topic It feels good to sell good in the upper 20s of PE and buy VTV that's in the high teens PE and know the VTV is overall more stable.
I was wondering if anyone had ideas on where to park my retirement funds to ride out and possibly take advantage of a potential dip. VTV sounds like a decent place for my Roth Vanguard stuff. Any other suggestions, especially in the TSP space? That's where a majority of my funds are since I'm a former Fed.
I think VTV has outperformed the s&p and nasdaq 100 on a risk-adjusted basis for the past 5 years.
VTV is an ETF that removes mag 7 and some other tech. I've moved some of my retirement to that. I don't need 37% of my wealth in mag 7; I don't care if they outperform or not
The valuations of these major contributors don't make sense for those of us with a stable retirement. Hence, my choice of VTV. *However* if you have a longer retirement horizon date and a Roth, avoiding these reduces gains. Roth is where volatility should be embraced.
value stock crew report in. VTV, JEPI
You should learn more about investing. Plot $VTV (Value stocks low P/E) against $VUG (growth stocks (high p/e)
I would make the majority of your portfolio in some safer ETFs/stocks. I would say something like VOO/VXUS/VTV should be your biggest bag, maybe like 50%. You are really spread pretty thin across a lot of different meme/penny stocks, some of which have really small value. I would consolidate some, and focus more on some stocks/ETFs that you really like (SOFI/NVDA). Then I would save some play money for the riskier penny stocks/memes.
VTV is up about 10% YTD. In a normal world that is incredible and should be taken every year.
What’s the benchmark for being bad? Not every fund is trying to outperform the S&P 500. Some funds are in the business of generating income, others trying to minimize drawdowns, others focused on shorting. Point is, the funds usually exist for investors to choose their approach and let someone else do the work in that approach…e.g. I think tech is overvalued so I want to invest in SCHD or VTV to capture potential upside in non tech names while also potentially shielding myself from an AI “bubble” event. I don’t expect SCHD or VTV to outperform the S&P 500 in a bull market, but that’s not why I bought it. Just an example.
now these days. These days you need a mix of of VTV and VTI
VTV and BKRB went down more than SPY today
I've 30% of my US equity in Vanguard value etfs such as VTV and VBR. Both have PE's under 20 for a basket of stocks.
I’d ditch RSP and SCHD. If you don’t wanna use an S&P 500 index fund, I’d go w VUG to cover growth and SPYV or VTV to cover value. FNDX and FNDF have great track records if you want to mix in fundamental analysis ETFs, but their OER is a bit higher at 0.25% if you’re cost conscious.
