VOO and Chill | Is An S&P 500 Index Fund Portfolio a Smart Idea?

You'll often hear the phrase VOO and chill or sometimes VTI and chill. VOO is the ticker to Vanguard's S&P 500 index ETF (VTI is Vanguards total U.S. market ETF). The idea is to invest all of your money in the S&P 500 (or perhaps the total U.S. market) and just relax.
After my video showing my 2021 portfolio tracked the performance of the S&P 500 (more or less), many asked why I bothered with multiple asset classes and individual stocks. Why not just VOO and chill?
This video explains why, and more importantly, walks through some concepts that might help you decide what's best for your portfolio.

Hi, I started my 140k portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education! Hoping this is a valid thought process?

Wasn't a great April but if you step back and actually look you will see the S&P 500 was up for the first Quarter. In the last 30 days, my IRA saw a gain of $30k.

The market's instability makes DIY risky. You don't need to find the next NVDA to succeed in investing. Opt for top-notch ETFs, dividend aristocrats, and a trusted advisor. I've turned 130k into $17k in quarterly dividends, a major milestone.

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

VTWAX - 63% is equivalent to VTSAX but you get some additional global exposure

@drmitofit2673 2 года назад

The traditional calculation is that one can expect the S&P to gain 10% per year on average, but for the last 10 years it's been 15%. I went 100% S&P with my 401k and employer matching in 1995, kept contributing during the 2009 financial crisis since I didn't have a large amount accumulated by then, rode out every dip, and by staying in for decades, I have long term exponential growth that is outperforming all of my coworkers. Another reason why I like it is that the S&P is analyzed and closely tracked on Fox Business News. I also feel that the large cap companies are better equipped at riding out volatility and supply chain disruptions than small companies that have fewer resources and fewer options. A negative is that the big tech companies have bigger and bigger representation in the S&P so it's becoming the NASDAQ. Not terrible though since the future is in Tech.

Great video to think about things. Here're a few things to think about. First, your analysis is based strictly on historical performance. What I find interesting is that often if an idea doesn't suit, people will say the past does not tell about the future. But if the idea suits, they'll use past performance to imply future performance. Something to think about. Another very important aspect of your analysis/reasoning is that it is based on "lump sum". (I think). By and large, we DCA. This is important because small caps are much more volatile than large caps. When you DCA into volatility, it depends on luck a lot.

On the chart, the Small Cap separated heavily from the Large cap back in the first years of the chart. They both continue to grow at seemingly the same rate. Can someone explain that? Edit: What I’m getting at is it seems the major difference in portfolio value is due to the separation in the 70s. If you did a lump sum from 1985-present it would be about the same growth. So the way to get these results would be to predict a separation of huge proportions between the Small Caps and the Large Caps.

Nice video. I'm piling on but it never made sense to me to use back testing to support having 100% US stocks, but then to reject back testing beyond which US indexes to hold. To me, VT and chill always made a lot of sense. VOO is increasingly becoming concentrated in US mega cap growth. I have no idea whether this concentration will cause it to over or under perform. But the concentration does bring additional risk, since many events (rates, political, etc.) will impact most US mega cap growth stocks similarly.

You mean VTI and chill instead of VOO?

@ckangas5674 2 года назад

@@snehaluict No, I meant VT (Total World). Due to cap weights, VTI is more diversified than VOO. But the top 10 of VTI is still 25% (VOO is 30% for reference).

@oaklandsportnewscom Год назад

Sir, how about VTWAX. That's total diversification. I can combine that with t bills, savings or CDs at this point too.

@roburb73 2 года назад

Interested in how far you have fallen behind with International stocks? Research says they have lagged the US market for 10+ years. If you fall behind 5% or more for 10 years, how long are you will to continue losing ground? I only ask because if you lose that much over a 10 year period, which most have, you now need to more than double that to make up. Are you just comfortable with losing the potential increase?

Hey rob, love the video but when you use portfolio visualizer to compare funds would you please create a recurring investment setup (monthly) rather than just compare two funds on a $10k investment from a particular time in the past. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the everyday investor would be investing say $500 per month into these types of funds and not just drop a chunk of change 30 years ago. It would be cool to see how two portfolios favor throughout ones career of investing during the highs and lows and see how it would compare

@bassdojo3925 2 года назад

Excellent point! Agree, my son at 18 I told him to start with $50/mo and strive for $100/mo. He doesn't have $10K to start a nest egg.

@cbarkerphoto 2 года назад

Thanks Rob, I'm learning so much by you sharing your approach to these types of scenarios! 2 questions: 1. What do you think about a low fee target date retirement and chill? Within my employer plan there are limited options and I feel like this gets me international and bond exposure in a way that allows me to be completely hands off. 2. My employer's target date fund is called Blackrock Lifepath Index 2050 target date Fund N ...i cant find that as a ticker and have no clue what the "N" at the end means...wondering if you know? Thanks so much for all the great content you provide!

@anascoinquest1121 2 года назад

Obviously not Rob, but… I believe the ticker for the fund you described is LIPIX. Target date retirement funds are fine for a hands off strategy. Personally I don’t like them because I can recreate the same allocation for a lower fee. I like to be more involved with my finances so it doesn’t work for me. Also, depending on your risk tolerance there may be more bonds than you care for. When I did used to buy index funds, I would go to a more distant date than my actual retirement date to keep my investments from being too conservative.

My advisor is rebalancing my portfolio and cashing out some investments. The proceeds are going into my checking account. Should I get an non-taxable account to avoid paying capital gains taxes? Do you have to pay taxes on a 401k account?

@thawrath9306 2 года назад

Depending on your income, a Roth IRA is the best way to avoid the taxes. You fund with post-tax dollars and there is no tax when you withdraw after age 58 or 59, can't quite remember. Check into it! Good luck! Great if no 401k is available and I'm pretty sure you can have both. You also don't need a financial advisor to do a Roth. Fidelity is a great site. Hope these tidbits tasted good lol

@ld4974 2 года назад

I've said this before, using the results of a portfolio that has been on a 12 year bull run as justification to invest 100% in that portfolio is a recipe for underperforming going forward. No sector (US large caps) outperforms forever.
