Definitely a good one. Wait, is that a meme stock?!?!
VOO is another good choice as mentioned. Compare the 2 and see which one meets to goal/need. |

It is definitely not a rocket ship to the moon. It’s more of a piece of tissue paper in a mild breeze with a slow but steady uplift. It may even clear a small tree over time with its steady altitude gains.
In all fairness, I own VTI and VOO. I am kinda boring with my main investments. Yet, I get all the “excitement” that I want with my 10 year stock options from my company that total about 1/3 of my compensation. At any given time, I have WAY too much tied up in the performance of a single company stock for my taste. I never knew what bile tasted liked until I started accruing lots of options over time lol. |

The market was total shit today. It seems it is in the grip of fools.

What companies? AAPL and AMZN are rocketing as are many other large tech and good companies. You must have missed my post on the S&P and it's recent all-time high and all the recent green days and all indexes being extended. The trend is still very bullish but again NOT LINEAR. Are you just expecting weekly all-time highs? |

And I agree- Nasdaq is over-inflated right now because of pos Meme stocks. Congrats if this market activity makes sense to you. It looks like a house of cards that will be taking good companies that I invest in with it. My new strategy is to just invest and not look at it every day. ![]() |

If the markets are green 10/13 days and indexes are setting all-time highs, than it's you that's the problem. This is why 90%+ of investors are better off buying index funds and holding rather than individual stocks. Individual stocks are riskier because the market is NOT rational. Stocks have great earnings all the time and end up selling off. I make it a point to NEVER own a stock in my trading account through earnings because the market/stocks aren't rational. If you are using an actual strategy to buy and sell, you won't get caught holding dogs. But most people convince themselves that whatever stock they purchased SHOULD go up. You're doing just that in your post here. Please, don't do that. The month of June was amazing for me in my trading account. If what you are doing is losing money on heavily trending bull markets, you only have yourself to blame. Mind sharing what companies you own that are dogging you? |

Also, I don't think most understand the magnitude of the gains we've seen. A nearly 90% rally since March 2020 lows. That just doesn't happen. The average return over time is 10% in the S&P.
And we aren't even seeing average decline in the S&P during bull market pullbacks while still following a bullish trend. Quote:

It's a little disingenuous touting market gains since March 2020 dont you think? Of course we've seen huge gains coming out of one of the worst crashes of all time. The 3 rounds of stimulus checks have a bit to do with it as well.

I’m just trying to provide facts for this thread instead of “this market sucks” while we set all time highs through a historic bull run. The bull run before 2020 was 11 years long (2009-2020). The average bull market is about 4 years. Investing since 2009 has been easy. |

That's fair. I keep telling myself it's time to liquidate before I get caught heavily invested during the inevitable pullback but every time I do we have an insane red day with deals too good to pass up. I gotta be strong and do it soon because I know its coming.
