Agree. Just buy ticker VOO and get on with your life. Even Warren Buffet has said to buy 90% VOO and 10% bonds. And you will never be as good at this as Warren Buffett.
That said, I take 10% of my net worth and put it in a 'casino fund' where I can buy whatever I want. Startups, peer to peer nonsense, individual stocks, and so on.

- log0 11y agoCurious question to all you investment experts. The SPY/VOO guys did not improve since 2015 and even now. Proponents of the SPY/VOO are based on the 2008... which has been rising until 2015. So how is investing into index fund ETFs still relevant today? Just earn on dividends?
