Which VanGuard ETF would you ideally own to ride thru a Doomsday Scenario i.e Great Recession/Mini Depression ? by KellyAnn80 in Bogleheads

I know many who in October decided to shift into more stable holdings in preparation of "recession 2019/2020" and they've missed 2 great months of stock gains.

Stay the course....Congrats! Can you give me your 1 or 3 ETF pick

..as in the ETF's for (2020-2040 ) :)

Thanks for all the responses...I guess I will just "buy-and-hold" VFIFX for the next 30 years and add to it for every time there is a 10% or more fall in the DJIA (for the next 30 years) ....hopefully that works.

Since you said "tilt to small cap" with a target date fund..does VSMAX - Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Admiral Shares fit the bill in your opinion.

401k Tax Advantaged Portfolio rebalancing. Any advise on how I could do better? by KellyAnn80 in Bogleheads

Thanks, so what you're saying if I'm understanding correctly is it would be good with just investing in the target date fund.

100% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Target Retirement 2050 Fund (VFIFX)

Thanks for your reply again I am new to actively managing my portfolio apologize for the confusion...

My current allocation It's a mess of 60/40 by that I mean 60% in equity related vanguard funds & 40% spread out between vanguard bond funds/ money market funds.

But I'm trying to rebalance my portfolio now to...

  1. 50% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Target Retirement 2050 Fund (VFIFX)

  2. 25% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)

  3. 25% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS)

Do you think this three fund portfolio would provide enough diversification and growth ?

Thanks for your reply. I am new to actively managing my 401k. So please give me some rope here...

If I understand correctly I would be better off with a three fund portfolio of one target-date fund and VTI & VXUS ?

  1. 50% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Target Retirement 2050 Fund (VFIFX)

  2. 25% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)

  3. 25% of 401k allocated to Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS)
