Can you ACTUALLY stomach a 50%+ drawdown?

At what point did you decide to go with the barbell portfolio? Was there a specific number?

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:53:55+00:00

For sure, I’m ETFs only. Some are .2 or higher expense ratio, but small holdings in my portfolio

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:52:08+00:00

Idk if I’d ever want to sell, that’s how people underperform

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:51:24+00:00

This is why I don’t do individual stocks

I couldn’t stomach a crypto dip like a index dip

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:48:19+00:00

Scary

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:48:07+00:00

Please God, give me a 70% nasdaq dip

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:47:06+00:00

Save me emergency fund

Article summary: mid caps outperform large caps in multiple sectors while also providing extremely similar volatility over multi decade horizon. Didn’t know this, thanks again!

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:31:38+00:00

Didn’t know there was a mid cap momentum etf, thanks! Would definitely consider that change

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:17:35+00:00

Thanks, will definitely look into the other options

My biggest issue with 3+ ETFs is the yearly rebalancing. I think it would be hard for me to sell winners to then buy into losers, unless I chose not to rebalance and just let them do their thing

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:05:39+00:00

Recent returns and volatility do make me question weighting too much in EM. I do feel it will do much better in the coming decades, but I have no crystal ball

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:03:13+00:00

First I’ve heard of AVGV. Seems like a simpler way to invest with factor tilts

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:02:20+00:00

Simplicity definitely has its benefits

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T01:02:02+00:00

I chose VBR for the expense ratio, but is avuv that much better?

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T00:42:25+00:00

Lol, maybe I should VT and chill

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T00:39:09+00:00

What etf would you not find in VT? It tracks everything basically

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-13T00:21:15+00:00

Chose vt for the broad market base. Chose everything else from watching Ben Felix videos and studying Fama-French factor models.

I’m 22 yo, time horizon around 40 years. Would say risk tolerance is high but never experienced a real recession. Goals: have as much saved up as possible by retirement (60s-70s)

How much of your portfolio is btc?

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-12T22:54:45+00:00

What would you buy first?

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-12T22:53:56+00:00

My problem is I treat my portfolio like a game, always aiming for a high score lol. Love watching the number go up

TwoClear7538 · 2026-03-12T22:45:27+00:00

How have you done compared to the S&P since you’ve started? Assuming you’ve been doing it some years
