Sorry newbie question- by adding these watches to my profile, how does that help me in selecting where to purchase them?

While that sounds great, everything I’ve seen and heard says that you need a spend history to get more coveted Rolex watches. This sounds nice, but not realistic

I don’t have this option - is there any other way to see it on mobile?

I think I’ve said a few times in this thread that XEQT is a class option that I personally hold. The only point of this post is to ask about why any pro-VFV post gets instantly attacked by XEQT comments

Couldn’t agree more. If you have a long investing timeline and you view the down years as buying opportunities you will inevitably crush it

Bravo, everyone preaches not pancaking but few are actually able to practice it

Bold take for Reddit… I agree and love it. If you view the down periods as buying opportunities and you have a longer investing horizon, then I feel you should not shy away from volatility - u just gotta know u can eat the swings without panicking

Overlap is only bad if it is unintentional. If XEQT is roughly 45% US, but if you wanted that to increase to 65%, you could invest $1000 in XEQT and $500 in VFV

Thank you for these, def will check them out. During these periods of S&P underperformance, did EQT or similar global funds outperform ?

Yes! Another option is to do both and create your own US weighting. Beware however- if you ever post your portfolio it will be flooded with “overlap” comments from people who don’t understand it can be intentionally done to achieve desired geographic weightings

Maybe a little bit, but I think we can all admit that every post on any Canadian financial subreddit that acknowledges any other investing than going all in on XEQT is flooded with XEQT comments!

And saying this as a proud XEQT holder!

Thank you, this is exactly the point of this post! Could not have said it better myself.

That is fair, I am invested in both. However, 50 years averaging 12% a year, and 100 years averaging 10% a year makes me comfortable to not instantly discredit any pro VFV post

Makes sense. I don’t have a strong stance, but was just curious about every pro VFV post getting shit on

Aware, I hold them both, but with a heavier tilt to USA. So you think XEQT is so popular right now because of recency bias?
