[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Don't neet to justify I am up 62 percent this year.  Disagree. [/quote]

Maybe you are and maybe you are full of crap— we have no way of knowing.

What we can know— because it’s plainly true and verifiable— is that SPY does not “diversify” VTI. [/quote]
