My total gain for the last 6 sessions was $150. I buy small stakes in stocks with momentum and jump out when I get a 10%-20% gain. Same thing with a few options. I’ll probably never be a Wall Street millionaire, but I’m pretty stress free and profitable. If you take big risks and yolo on every trade, it doesn’t take long to go belly up. You might be better off to invest the rest of your bag in an ETF like VV or QQQ and check back in 10 years or so. Let compounded interest do the work for you.

Just trying to be helpful, maybe look at vanguard's VV etf. It's a large cap fund with over 80% overlap and a share price under $300 I think. Might not be as liquid as VOO though.
A massive upside down M shaped recovery VV like that

Honestly that was my initial approach was like QQQ SMH VV VT. Stuff like that. Since I sold a portion, would you just buy it back since markets can't be predicted or hold bc the market is shaky and global involvement doesn't look promising?
VV Try again later bers 
So wait until the chart looks like VV or possibly VVVV? okay got it.

As others have recommended, this is the time to learn. I congratulate you on your discipline to save instead of spending on a sweet drink. That will pay off in the long run. (People who buy fancy coffees spend a tremendous amount per year on this frivilous status item.) Investopedia is a great learning tool. So are Linked In articles, although the authors are trying to show their knowledge to others. Go to a broker, and set up a paper trading account (I like Schwab, and they also have a ton of free education). Play in this account. Make mistakes here! On YouTube, go to the VectorVest channel, and study the Secrets of Investing by Dr Dillido. He had his PhD in Mathematics, and created the program from his frustration with following financial news tips. When you are ready to fund an account, get a subscription to VV and learn from more there. No one will care about your money as much as you do.
My favorites are: VOO, VTV, VV, VUG, VYM and VIG..... I
If you don't have a broad market index in your portfolio, add it in. I'd recommend SPLG or SPY or VV or VOO.

How are all my individual stocks up but VV (large cap) index is 0% roughly? Who is draggin this shlt down??? Fuck the indexes lol
Here is my portfolio. Anything you would change? Is there anything you would like to add? Would you change the allocation spread? Thank you for any input! 67% (VV), 18% (VXUS), 10% (FTEC), and 5% (BND)

Just to be clear - you want to compare $VV to $SCHX - is that correct? Vanguard's $VV tracks the CRSP US Large Cap Index. More info on the index here - [https://www.crsp.org/indexes/crsp-us-large-cap-index/](https://www.crsp.org/indexes/crsp-us-large-cap-index/) Schwab's $SCHX ETF tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Large-Cap Total Stock Market Index. This is an S&P Global index - more info here - [https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/dow-jones-us-large-cap-total-stock-market-index/#overview](https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/dow-jones-us-large-cap-total-stock-market-index/#overview) It depends if you have a preference for one index vs another. Total return comparison here - [https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VV,SCHX](https://totalrealreturns.com/s/VV,SCHX)
When you put two Vs together they look like a big W to me VV
Volatility bro, scroll down and looks at the Stats, they are option greeks Buy put options when historical volatility > implied volatility Do bear put spreads if VV
Taxable is fine. If market crashes, you can sell for a loss and put it into the 401k/IRA and it’s a win win, you get capital losses and tax-advantage future rebound. Just be careful not to buy the exact same fund in the IRA/401k due to wash sale rules! Could start with something like VV that’s similar but not identical. If it’s a gain, you pay cap gains on the gain but save the full contribution amount as income for the 401K at least, coming out way ahead.
It will W. VV, wsb!!!!!
VV is closer to VOO than VTI, if you really care about mirroring it best.
VV recovery on intel or is it W
I took the course a few years ago. My assessment was that it is not worth it and I love VV. The problem is sneaky in that you win 6 or 8 times and then one loss takes all those winnings and often more.
You are new around here? Thats why we came for VV
VOO/S&P 500 is fine, although I personally prefer more diversification with total market funds. I’m not a fan of “arbitrary” exclusion rules, and consider the S&P 500’s fixed quantity limit (top 500 companies) to be one - it’s not directly proportional in any way to the total market size, just a fixed number of companies. VV - following CRSP’s large cap index which tracks the top 85% of total U.S. market cap - makes more sense to me even if at the moment it is virtually identical to VOO.
I sold some of my soxl and tsm and amd today. Reallocating to other things, index etfs like VB VO and VV, and dividend paying things like ATT and ET. I still have soxl and tesm and amd, just trying to cash in on some of the gains.
“May” being a key word there. It’s still kind of an open question. Some [investment professionals](https://www.investopedia.com/news/etf-open-secret-theyre-tax-loophole/) argue that because VOO and SPY have different managers and expense ratio they’re not “substantially identical.” Of course you could also switch to something that’s still very similar like VTI (US total market) VV (CRSP US Large-Cap Index) or IWB (Russell 1000) but strictly speaking a different index.
I have a VV, that’ll probably work too tho
i just invest in index ETFs. like VV, VB, VEU, VGSH, SGOV. so for other stuff, maybe others can help you out.
Thanks for help. Here's what I'm selecting from- For mega cap, with about 80 stocks and overall best 10 year return- MGK For large cap with over 400 stocks and great return- VONG For large to mid-cap, strong return with over 500 companies - VOO or possibly VV For total market - VTI For value stocks- VTV For small cap with over 800 stocks- VBR I think it gives me diversity, may well be better off reducing the number of funds. Generally the return over 10, 5 and 3 years is from best (top of list) to not as great (bottom). Although during the dip the last couple of funds dipped the least, less volatile.

Makes sense. At end of the day it’s all noise as VOO/VV/VTI are incredibly correlated, but personally I’m put off by the poorly constructed inclusion rules. VV would be better. Or if you are an Avantis fan, AVUS is an option. Could also really lean into factors and use large cap momentum (MTUM).
I’d agree but I’d argue VTI + AVUV is even better. S&P500 has a natural buy high sell lower filter. Look at TSLA/SMCI. If you want to avoid non-value small caps then at least buy a truly cap-weighted large cap fund like VV.
VTI, VV, ITOT, VOO, IWB are all fair-game. But I would just set a dollar amount threshold based on what is worth your time frankly, and can also factor in the cost (including potential risk of an adverse market-move while doing the TLH).
No. If you got audited it would also be pretty obvious you were trying to be sneaky too so it seems like that might result in another fine. You could sell something and buy another thing that was similar but not substantially identical. For example if you had a loss on the S&P 500 you would probably be okay selling the S&P 500 and immediately buying VV the Vanguard Large Cap Index since it does not track the S&P 500. I do not think you would be okay selling VOO and buying IVV though since those both track the S&P 500. Disclaimer: I am not a tax guy but have done my taxes for decades.

I’m a Vanguard fan. So most of my reccos will be Vanguard ETFs (they act like Indexes mostly but there are nuances that slightly differ). Corresponding to the order that you listed I would do… 1) VV 2) VB 3) * I assume you want developed (including US here?) If so I’d recommend (for simplicity) to reduce this to zero and split it between 1 and 4. This remove overlap and make it clearer your allocation by US vs International. 4)VEA 5) VWO 6) I haven’t personally found any good Emerging markets Small cap that has low expense ratios. They are either high expenses or not very long record. If you find a good one let me know. As a substitute you can do SCZ which is a International Developed Markets Small cap 7) in less familiar with Bonds options as Im 100% equities but do a quick Google search on vanguard bond index or etfs. BND comes up for me but I can’t say I know much about it. Good luck! 4) 6) no good option that I’ve seen…the closest would be SCZ but it is International (Non
I like VOO. I also like QQQ. VV is also good. All by Vanguard.

Large cap is like 85% of the market, and the performance difference between large cap and total market is negligible. In 20 years we're talking a CAGR of 9.80% vs. 9.64%. But if you only want large cap, then go with VV.
Bought a couch from Wayfair for 1/4 the price of a similar couch from any furniture company. Got a stain on 2 cushions (yeah baby). No way to get 2 cushions from Wayfair, gotta buy the couch again. That’s capitalism. Still cheaper to buy the couch though. Sounds like they know what they’re doing. BUY the W for Hump Day a week after Valentine’s Day. VV = W 💰
It wouldn't be just Mag7 stocks. I don't have the balls for that given the volatility right now, but most of the ETFs I'm eyeballing are heavily weighted towards those tickers. Right now I've got a set of limit buy orders ready on SMH, VGT, MGK, QQQ, VV, VOO, and MGC in various percentages ranging from 10-20% of the $30,000. You can look at any of those on any increment you want, 1 year, 5 year, 10 year, etc and they'd be a great investment. It's not that I question any of those tickers, it's just about timing the entry. Sad thing is, I had this same battle a year ago and was afraid interest rates would cause everything to drop. This same fear prevented me from having one of the best years I could have ever had if I'd have invested in those same tickers a year ago. I really think the next 5 to 10 years looks strong for tech and I don't want to miss out like I have the last 10. Just wish I knew if a pullback was imminent before I hit buy lol.
Takeoff Stage is where I think we are now. Tom Lee from Fundstrat mentioned last week that he feels we could hit a minor all time high and then there could be a slight pullback before we see increases. Reference: https://x.com/cnbc/status/1747421093537992835?s=46&t=71Lc8qZ8VV3TsXIasvUbxA

Correct. Wait 20-30 years, at least. I know, that seems like a long time, but it really isn't. You really need to internalize how your investment strategy fits within your broader world view. For instance, I like to consider my own investment holding period to essentially be forever. However, I seem to have an entirely different philosophy and objectives than many people when it comes to exactly what I'm trying to achieve. I intend to remain employed until I'm dead, or at least close to dead. I just never want to worry about my finances while I'm doing that, and I never want my wife or child to have to worry about their finances either. So far, this mentality has allowed me to accrue a very large sum of money over a roughly 16 year investment timeline. I have used very simple funds to achieve this: VV, VO, AVUV. I also hold VEA and VWO. The specific percentages of my holdings are relatively conventional, but I don't worry too much about rebalancing my portfolio the way many would suggest. Anyway, my point is that what you are doing is fine. If you continue doing it, I think you will worry far less over time. Just don't lose your mind when the market inevitably experiences steep declines.
Small growth is not so great, I would avoid in both domestic and foreign. Like VTI to VV or VVO, up weight AVUV and remove AVDS
Looks like the OG VV is here to stay 😳

Not Vinovest. Go look at r/Vinovest its full of first hand stories of investors who found Vinovest lied to them about the value of their portfolios. People who when they went to sell they found the actual bid/ask BOTH far below the valuations VV had been putting in their monthly account statements. Just go look on the Vinovest subreddit, it's literally full of people who had this same experience with being lied to by Vinovest about their portfolio value.
Have you actually looked at any of the forums for VV users? They're full of first hand stories of investors who found Vinovest lied to them about the value of their portfolios.

> Volatility determines safe withdrawal rate in retirement. My point is as follows (and it is not necessarily optimal, it just seems like a reasonable approach) 1. the 'safe withdrawal rate' of retirement investments is generally taken to be 4%. 2. dividends tend to be more stable then market prices, and they tend to grow faster than inflation. If the stock market falls by 40%, then dividend yield will go up by 1/(1-0.4) but total payout will be the same. The relative stability of dividends one is my leap of faith. 3. So if I want a 4% rate of withdrawal *without touching the principal*, I can just buy SCHD, live on the dividends and forget about it. This way, market gyrations won't affect my actual spending. If I just obeyed the traditional 4% spend-down rule with growth stocks, I'd be cashing out 4% at market highs (selling at market highs is good, I guess, but my income would be more than I need) but also at lows (it's not good to sell at a low, but my income would also be lower at these times, which I don't want). Or I guess I could adjust cash-out according to the P/E ratio, which would loosely mimic the dividend fund by effectively treating growth as a dividend, and approximating this growth as 1/(P/E). All of these rules are designed to guarantee perpetual income: either leaving an inheritance, or living forever. > SCHD has nearly identical risk-adjusted return since inception versus the US total market (0.85 for SCHD, 0.84 for VTI), and vs a large cap index that (0.85 for SCHD, 0.86 for VV). I suggest any differences could be random, so the taking dividends just simplifies things. One issue is that dividend growth typically outpaces inflation, so one would be back-loading retirement, living like a king at 90.
SCHD has nearly identical risk-adjusted return since inception versus the US total market (0.85 for SCHD, 0.84 for VTI), and vs a large cap index that (0.85 for SCHD, 0.86 for VV). In fact, you can make a slightly better version of SCHD by simply investing 92% in VV (Vanguard Large Cap) and 8% in cash - it has identical return, and slightly better standard deviation vs SCHD. Volatility determines safe withdrawal rate in retirement. Dividends don't reduce that volatility. Based on SCHD history, your safe withdrawal rate will be lower with SCHD than with non-dividend-focused ETFs.

Thanks for this! I've long decided on VOO (and QQQM) vs VUG. Now reconsidering adding either VUG or IWY--always wanted Top 50 (but never found said ETF with ER <0.20%). *Vanguard ETFs and recent 12-yr CAGR:* **VUG** (Growth) - 241; **ER 0.04%** **CAGR: 13.39%** Avg vol: 996K; $248 VOOG (S&P 500 Growth) - 232; ER 0.10% CAGR: 13.31% Avg vol: 116K; $232 VOO (S&P 500) - 506; ER 0.03% CAGR: 12.28% Avg vol: 3.8mil; $378 VV (Large-Cap) - 558; ER 0.04% CAGR: 12.14% Avg vol: 236K; $188 \--------------------------------------------------------- **IWY** (iShares Russell Top 200 Growth) - 200; **ER 0.20%** **CAGR: 14.85%** Avg vol: 326K; $138 IVW (iShares S&P 500 Growth) - 235; ER 0.18% CAGR: 13.26% Avg vol: 2mil; $64 \---------------------------------------------------------- Invesco QQQ (**QQQM**) - 100; ER 0.20% (**0.15%**) **CAGR: 16.93%** Avg vol: 59mil (1mil); $316 ($130)
I would recommend selling your AAPL $160 put + $0.28 VV m/1 1D 1W 1M 3M 1Y position at the current market price of $17,080.00. The current AAPL price is above your breakeven point, so you are likely to experience a loss if you hold onto the position until expiration.
I always sell any losing positions before the end of the year in which I bought them. In taxable accounts, this creates a tax-asset that can be used to offset either current income or future realized capital gains. If you're an American, this figure will appear on Form 1040 Schedule D of your tax return. Usually, one sells the losing position and uses the money to purchase replacement shares in a similar but not identical investment. With ETFs or mutual funds this is a simple operation -- for instance, exchanging VTI for VOO or VV -- but with individual securities it's a little less straightforward. Since you mentioned wanting to start investing in index funds going forward, you could sell your position in CRSR and use the money to buy an index fund. The loss will then be realized, and will show up on the 1099-B your broker will send you at the beginning of the following year (again, assuming you're an American). A 40% loss definitely hurts, but in your position I would consider selling, realizing the tax advantage, and moving to index funds as soon as possible. After all, a position that has [lost 40% of its capital will require a 67% gain just to break even](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Percentage_gain_and_loss), and all the while you risk losing even more of your capital by maintaining the position. There's no shame in taking a loss occasionally with your investments, particularly when you're young and don't have a family depending on you. Best of luck.

Most large cap etf/funds have under performed sp500 etf like IVV. You can look at BBUS/SCHX/VV they have all under performed IVV.
>Yes, I was shooting for some overweight on small & emerging. So another option that may simplify things if you want something a little more complex than the basic 3 fund portfolio ; just split it between 5 funds VV- USA Large Cap VO- USA Mid cap VB- USA small cap VWO - Emerging markets VEA - developed markets Now you have 5 non-overlapping (or very minimal overlapping) funds that you can very easily see your allocations vs trying to figure out your small cap allocation if you hold (VTI/VBR/VBK) what all hold small cap. Or trying to figure out your developed/emerging market holdings if you hold (VXUS/VWO)
#VV'S IN MY CHARM THATS A ROC-A-Fella chain
It's always the low vol 115/110p 1/20 on VV that confirms they're are people who actually think the end is near 
If you use indexes, you should always be harvesting tax losses and simply replacing them. For instance, selling VTI and buying ITOT, or selling VOO and buying VV. There is absolutely no reason not to. If I told you that you could save $4,500 in taxes (15% of $30,000) over the next few years by simply swapping one fund for another, why wouldnt you do that? Who cares if you dont have gains this year - carry them forward indefinitely. Now if you use individual stocks you have a more complicated scenario. What if they pop in the next 30 days? Thats a big if, and you likely dont have enough information to make a decision. Thats a big reason why most people should not be buying individual stocks - not only because of their inflexibility, but also because the average person is not smart enough, nor do they spend enough time to adequately evaluate a business
Can someone explain warrant valuations to me? I feel regarded. This warrant here: DE000VV70S78 Put 16.12.22 Tesla 175 Tesla currently at 156ish. The warrant can be exercised in 2 days, so I would expect it to have a value of around $19. However it's trading at €1.74. What am I missing?
I am 21 years old and am graduating college this spring with no debt. I am looking for a job and hopefully making 60k+ out of college. I have a low 7 figure investment account via an inheritance that I hope to not touch for a very long time (eventual house purchase in 10+ years). I currently have 90% of that invested in a variety of low risk large-cap and dividend ETFs including SPY, SDY, and VV. I am holding 10% cash in anticipation of a market drop and intend to invest the majority of this. I would like this account to grow consistently, but am looking for positions half a step riskier than my existing holdings. What should I be buying and when? ​ \*This is my first post so forgive me if I am missing any useful info.\*
Is VV good as well as I heard that one. I think maybe going with VV, VTI and VOO would be good. I have around 3,000 to invest
How would I set up that automatic investment? What's the difference between the VV, VTI and VOO stocks as those are the ones people seem to recommend the most?
Vanguard is not the friendliest broker for when you are starting out in my opinion. Examples: Most Vanguard index funds require a $3,000 minimum initial investment and their ETF's must be bought in multiples of full shares. Fidelity on the other hand has no minimum index funds available and ETF's can be purchased as fractional shares. If you already deposited money in the Vanguard Roth IRA, I would consider transferring it to Fidelity: [https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/ira-transfer](https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/ira-transfer) If you have not deposited money into the Vanguard Roth IRA, I would consider closing it and having your parent/guardian open a Roth IRA at Fidelity for you. [https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/roth-ira-kids](https://www.fidelity.com/retirement-ira/roth-ira-kids) ​ If I was in your shoes and moved to Fidelity, I would consider these two funds: Fidelity ZERO Total Market Index Fund (FZROX) This fund is a Total U.S. market fund, it includes all the stocks in the S&P 500, SPY, and VV. Fidelity ZERO International Index Fund (FZILX) I would include this international fund for diversification reasons. I would split the money around 75% FZROX and 25% FZILZ. [https://www.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/investing-ideas/index-funds](https://www.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/investing-ideas/index-funds) ​ The above portfolio is similar to a three funds portfolio minus the bond fund (I will allocate to bonds when I am closer to retirement): https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund\_portfolio
Hello there! I am also a newcomer to investing, but I have been doing a lot of research on Vanguard and Roth IRAs. From what I have learned, it is generally recommended to start with a diversified portfolio, rather than focusing on individual stocks. The S&P 500, SPY, and VV are all good options for this, as they offer exposure to a wide range of companies and sectors. As for the minimum amount to invest, it will depend on the specific fund you choose. Some funds may have a minimum investment of $1,000, while others may be as low as $100 or even lower. It's always a good idea to check the fund's prospectus or speak with a Vanguard representative for more information. In terms of other advice, I would recommend setting up automatic investments so that you can consistently contribute to your Roth IRA on a regular basis. This will help you take advantage of dollar-cost averaging and potentially reduce the impact of market volatility on your investments. Additionally, make sure to review your portfolio periodically and rebalance it as needed to ensure that it remains aligned with your investment goals and risk tolerance. Good luck with your investments!
