| What risky mutual or index funds have paid off for you? |
| STONKS |
| Risky? |
| JEPI and JEPQ |
Sort of a useless question. In the short term, nothing will beat a leveraged ETF, but those aren't intended for buy and hold strategies. |
| You can’t beat the market. All the answers here are in hindsight and NO one knows the future. Get a S&P 500 index fund and match what everyone is trying to beat. |
| All stocks including the sp 500 are risky. Buy a total market fund unless you have a crystal ball or want to definitely get a worse return than average |
| Not sure I’d call it risky but I moved most of my 401k into T. Rowe Price blue chip growth when it was hovering around $100-$110. It’s now over $180, probably mostly because Nvidia is one of its biggest holdings. I’ll move it into something else at some point because the fund seems a bit volatile. |
And for the record this was dumb luck. I had never even heard of Nvidia at the time. |
| TQQQ. Very volatile though. I have just 1% of my portfolio. |
That's a 3x leveraged ETF. It's not intended for long term investment. |
Looks like it's up 17,000% over the last 15 yrs!!! Crazy! But could be wiped out by a 33% drop in the stock market. |
Yes. And go look at the Bogleheads site. Important to have a low expense ratio for one’s S&P500 mutual fund… |
I have 10% of my portfolio in leveraged etfs. I call it my lottery ticket portfolio. |
I'm up 107% in TQQQ since 9/2023. Fairly small position, makes me feel better due to not owning NVDA outright. True, triple leveraged ETFS are volatile and NOT to be held long term. But the trend is your friend, and QQQ will not drop 33% overnight. There will be a time to reduce but not now. |
