[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VTI is same thing--check expenses.  Also, know that VTI and VTSAX are very tech heavy with what is referred to as the "Mag 7"--a market euphemism for large, mostly tech companies that have moved up a lot post pandemic.  So I would diversify into several etfs (like VTI is one of those).  These big companies are Apple, Google, Meta (parent of Facebook), Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft. It also holds as a big investment Eli Lilly (also moved a lot on Ozempic type drugs), Broadcom and Berkshire Hathaway (Warrent Buffet's company).  If the market goes up, it will do well.

May I suggest some VTI/VTSAX (again decide based on costs of each--they are usually hidden so read and research) but split it with SPY (S and P 500--which also have exposure to these companies), IWM (small caps), and some mid cap stocks, and a tad international funds (no more than 5 percent).  Add 1 percent of Bitcoin ETF e.g. IBIT.

This portfolio would be a little more diverse but long term focused as a previous poster said.  It is not without risk since the aforementioned companies have moved up a lot.  Do it and forget about it and check back periodically.  [/quote]

Such a strange half-informed post. VTSAX is simply an index that tracks the full market. When tech stock are doing well it will have tech stocks. It already has S&P 500, mid cap and small cap stocks in it so it makes little sense to add those. It makes absolutely no sense to add 1% of bitcoin and 5% international will just complicate things but likely have no impact at all. [/quote]

Also, did you look at the holdings--it is all Mag 7 at this point.  S&P is more broad based. BTC and International can add Alpha.  [/quote]

The more you write the less informed you sound. S&P 500 makes up about 80% of VTSAX but by definition VTSAX is more broad based. And bitcoin is not going to add alpha. 🙄[/quote]
