If you are going to do high beta at least do a barbell with 50% in bonds or VTI.

---

If you put the $8k in VTI, and average 10% returns, it’s only 24 years until you have $80k to pay back those loans.

---

VTI is down like.. 1%. I think everyone was in quantum or something 

---

Been watching the same ~$2k swing in mostly VTI QQQ profile since October.  Seems the market is finally deciding to go on sale.

You just perfectly explained my old man pile. So I pulled out of vti and vxus in late Sept and told my family the market was overinflated. Thats why I pulled out. But it kept running but with those pullbacks.  Ive been struggling in my degen pile obviously as I dont do puts. So I want to get back in vti hoping enough time has gone by since Sept to let some PEs catch up to the moment, but been looking for a decent pullback (not 339 or 337). So I got 333.5 today as entry but this looks bad now. Probably should've waited longer. Thanks for the advice, Ill check out Schaub for sure asap maybe diversify a few. I was stupid though as I thought that the dips early this week were too good to pass so I used my old man pile to buy some individuals, and im down a few extra hundred already just this week and they'll probably go lower, which is why I want an index bc Ive just had enough of this market for the past 4 months (and last March-April). Thanks again for sincere advice, really appreciate it and good luck 👍

Ive been wanting to get back in VTI studying its pullback past 3 months. So I limit bought back in at 333.50 today, which has been the support for a while. Of course its already under there After Hours. So to be proactive, I set limit buys for 320, 310, and 305.  Why do I know Taco will make the market suddenly blow right through those somehow? Yeah, I probably just bought back in on the "correction" and it will go to at least 290 or something.

Appreciate sincere advice, but I can assure you every time I buy an etf dip, it dips more and then all my money is tied up bc of the huge PPS. I bought VTI today at 333.5, lowest and has been support level for 3 months, and its already broken under, albeit AHs. So I set limit buys for 320, 317, 305, in case it goes lower....and knowing my luck it'll blow through them.

Just DCA into schx, schf, sche for easier system (or just vti)

I’m a regard and don’t know anything. However, I feel like we’re going to see a few weekly dips like this with a few green days in between. There is a lot being priced in right now that will probably send us down 5% to 10% during the first half of the year. So anyway with that said, I like ETFs with all this craziness. VXUS VTI VTWO. DCA down with every few percentage points. Again I just work at Wendy’s and don’t know anything.

I don't really follow individual stocks outside of VTI bro
