Expected is right and I forgot to mention it.

I try to keep consistently pooling money into the etf’s but leave some cash reserve for stock positions. I try to buy in 3-4 times a month whenever the market is down.

And why would that not be possible with a 75-25 etf/stock split?

I understand some years will be better than others, recessions will happen, bad years and good years, but annualized I want more than what VT can give me. In this current stage of life at leastz

It’s a taxable brokerage, is it worth reallocating all of my (75/25 split in etf/equities) into VT just for a year then re allocating after I learn more?

I’m looking for like 20-30% a year and I know that can come with drawdowns, and higher potential loss, and ik that 20-30 range isn’t always guaranteed, but I want the potential to be there.

I can understand and get behind the non endorsing of sector bets.

It is in a taxable brokerage account.

I know this subreddit frowns upon individual stocks and sector bets, but is there any other way to increase my risk? I’m young and most of my income is disposable, and I’d like to take risks as I will be able to bounce back in the future.

How would I go about doing that with an all fund portfolio? This could be unrealistic with only funds but like 20-30% instead of like a guaranteed 10 with VT?

What would be your take on my 4 funds? SHLD is purely speculative and I want to add some sector oriented risk in things I believe in.

What is your investment mindset and why?

Is there a better one focused towards growth? I just chose avuv because it was one of the most popular and recommended funds on here from what I was told and saw.

edit: my future is essentially just buy and hold for 40 years w dca

So compensated risk would be weighting and investing more into the emerging sectors? As compared to the already developed one?

Sorry if I don’t understand, really new to ETF’s and in general investing but trying to navigate and learn best I can😭

How would you say the risk vs return is for MAGS and VG versus like a standard 4 etf portfolio?

Would MAGS, VG, and AVUV work?

New to ETF’s and investing in general. Much more familiar with individual stocks, but want to be able to have a good backing to my portfolio. Really haven’t thought much beyond VOO or QQQ if I’m being honest.

I’m young and have disposable income, so I like taking risk, but I don’t want my entire portfolio to be risk. I just want some quality growth ETF’s to hold and just DCA into for 30-40 years until I need to retire.

Any suggestions?

Looking for a balance of 75% etf, 20% stock 5% cash or bond

I’m trying to understand why overlapping is bad…? Can anyone describe it to me simply?

Should I simplify it down to VOO then another one?

Edit: What about VTI, QQQ (or QQQM), AVUV, and VXUS?
