What S&P stocks to buy

[Anonymous]

Have about 10k to put into market from the bonus. Although it's a bit frothy and that makes me concerned but I'm interested in solid stocks for the long term. Won't resell any till retirement.

Will get MSFT but what else? NVDA is tempting but it also feels like one of those moments where everyone's getting in, which means it's typically time to get out. But any other AI stock worth looking at?

Most AI stocks are frothy and if one crashes they all could depending on why something crashed. That said, the froth could have some legs. I want more NVDA, but am hesitant.

You could buy VOO (S&P500) and just let it ride. Or QQQ which has 50% technology. Or GOOG for an equity.

I was going to ask the same question

I could tell you but I’m going to wait until they top out to let you know so I have someone to sell my shares to.

The stock you should be buying is not in the index yet, but is eligible.There should be a small dip coming when people have tax bills due in April.
Buy the Voo and be done.

Why are you putting $10K in individual stocks rather than a mutual fund?

If OP wants a fund, then they should go with an ETF like VOO (S&P500, as mentioned upstream) or VTI (Total Market) for the lower expense ratios.

Just buy an SP500 index fund or ETF. If you're asking this question, you're clearly not doing your own fundamental value analysis of individual companies.

Visa, Amazon, Costco, Home Depot. All businesses that have their own moats and have been preforming at a high level for a long time. Buy and hold forever.

Apple is trading at around 15% below it’s high so you might want to invest in them as well.

LLY, NVO, VKTX, VANI

Buy an low-cost, broad based index fund today and then forget about it.

As to broad based: Unless you have the ablity and aptitude to always be a day ahead of the market (both in terms of buying and selling), you (and all of us) have no business buying indiviudal stocks.

As to today: Commit it all in one trade; you are only disserved by breaking up a purchase such as this one into a series of smaller buys or waiting until the froth subsides.

Why VOO instead of SPY or WFSPX?

Agree. Good advice and hopefully OP follows. But…if you have some fun money, it’s a nice little hobby to buy individual stocks. Any recommendations for stocks to research?
