Not Sure Which Stocks to Buy? This Vanguard ETF Makes It Simple.
Yahoo Finance ·
In my younger years, I used to spend a lot of time trying to pick individual winners in the stock market. At best, my track record really wasn't better than anyone else's. At worst, the bursting of the tech bubble did more damage to my portfolio than I care to remember. That's a big reason why I've mostly switched over to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from stocks. Now I prefer buying broad themes. Owning the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( VTI 0.96% ) , for example, allows me to participate in overall U.S. economic growth. I can simply buy this fund and let the long-term power of compounding do its thing. It's easier. It's cheaper. And it's arguably more successful. The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF covers the entire investable U.S. stock market, about 3,500 stocks in total. I prefer this one over the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF because I want to own more than just large caps. As we've seen this year, small caps can have periods where they significantly outperform the S&P 500 . The Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF is beating VOO by an 11% to 20% margin year to date. With small-cap earnings beginning to grow faster than those of the S&P 500, there's a real opportunity for small caps to lead for more than just a few months. I want that opportunity in my portfolio.
