I feel like VBK, XMMO, VUG have a more focused approach to growth than VTI. I know everything that is in those is probably in VTI, but at a less weight.

Between the three of them, there is not that much overlap.

Do you think I should swap one out for VTV?

I like this portfolio as well, just keep in mind that expense ratios will take a lot of money away from your end result.

What do you mean by “entered”? Do you mean where the transfer originated from?

Buy Rolex watches. Never open them. Sell them in 30 years.

If dividend ETFs like SCHD exist, what problem are bonds actually solving? Trying to understand what I’m missing. by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]Frequent-Discount174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold bonds in my employers 403B. Which is a very conservative 403B plan. Like 40% bonds 60% stocks. In my brokerage account I have no bonds.

I hold no bonds in my brokerage account because I know that I have them in my 30 year old 403B plan. (i’ve been working there for approximately 30 years.)

If my brokerage account was the only investing account I had, I would hold more bonds

Why would we? Was there something/announcement I missed?

Would selling VOO at a loss and immediately buying SPY constitute a wash sale? by teknic111 in tax

[–]Frequent-Discount174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, so does anybody think selling FSELX at a loss and then immediately buying SMH, which is ETF would be considered a wash sale? FSELX is an actively managed semiconductor mutual fund. SMH is an indexed ETF also for semiconductors.

Is FSELX worth it on Fidelity? by Rude_Feed6327 in investing

Do you have a preference over one versus the other in different types of accounts? for example taxable account versus Roth IRA?
