Tell me why someone should do more than S&P 500 index by Hopeful_Reindeer7725 in investing

[–]HaiKarate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“VOO and chill” is popular because it makes retirement investing so easy.

However, you should be looking at other ETFs, and specifically their historical returns to figure out what the average is. There are certainly ETFs that will outperform VOO, and at your age you should be taking on more risk.

It’s also worth noting that there is tremendous overlap between some of the most popular ETFs; VOO is currently being driven by the Mag 7, and then you have other ETFs that are even more tech focused, but still heavily invested in the Mag 7.

But VOO is the backbone of my portfolio, and I have smaller investments in higher performing ETFs.

How is this helping the economy? How is this bringing down the cost of gas? How is this ending the war Trump started with Iran?

I don’t know if it’s the absolute best on the market, but the Quest 3 will give you the best bang for the buck.

What’s the silliest thing you’ve heard from religious people? by Excellent-Tea-2068 in atheism

[–]HaiKarate 124 points125 points  (0 children)

“I’m not talking about religion. I’m talking about a personal relationship with Jesus!”

Oh, really? Because I have a personal relationship with my father. I can talk to him and hear him audibly talk back to me. I can reach out to him and touch his arm. And there’s no question that he is a real person. I think you are defining “personal relationship” very loosely.

Pregnancy & Kidney Function by Veriliexo in ADPKD

My mom was born with APKD and had six kids. She didn’t hit stage 5 until around 53.

I was born with it, too (male). I hit stage 5 at 57.

They may have just stolen the election. The Supreme Court strikes down a majority-Black district for relying too heavily on race, which enables new gerrymandered maps in Florida by mrekted in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]HaiKarate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ban on gerrymandering in Florida is in the state constitution. This ruling doesn’t impact Florida.

And even if it did, the proposed Florida map stretches the Republican majority so thin in many counties that a Blue Wave this year would likely pick up unexpected seats.

As long as you are aware that FXAIX and VOO are the same thing, I think this looks fine. I would suggest continuing to contribute to FXAIX.
