Considering a tilt toward US/growth/tech?

The year is 2024 and a lot of investors are asking about US large, tech and growth stocks, a performance-chasing approach following a familiar pattern: people gravitate to what is popular. Alas, winners rotate. So, here goes:

Start by reading about three-fund portfolios, consider the diversification benefits of ex-US holdings, and for a simple graphical demonstration of rotating winners, check out this chart. The bottom line is this: global equity investments increase diversification and as of the time of this sidebar update, international stocks are relatively inexpensive compared to US ones.

Be extremely wary of buying high, which can lead to selling low. If you're at a loss for where to begin, start with a Target Date fund and learn the basics of investing before you start tilting away from a broadly diversified global portfolio.

We've all been where you are - the appeal of recent outperformers is extremely tempting. But if you had invested in the best performing markets and sectors during the 2000s, you'd have had a rough time during the 2010s. No one knows what the future holds, but avoid learning the hard way by diversifying. Good luck.

Not enough retirement account space? Consider Series I and EE Bonds


While both active and passive strategies of various durations are open for discussion, the primary purposes here is to help in the creation of intermediate-to-retirement allocations, largely hands-off approaches suited to the majority of investors (who have lives outside of finance!).

Above all, remember: we all had to start somewhere, so don't worry about asking stupid questions! Lastly: no blogspam (including actual blogs but also other forms of self-promotion).

Invest surplus cash in real estate, or ETFs 5-10 years?

Portfolio 16% retirement 22% cash (6x my emergency 6mo) 26% in real estate that's down payment/paid off principal (high mortgage keeping me mostly breakeven) 30% stocks (ETF or good stocks)

Numbers not accurate but total should be around 9x%.

I have large portion of cash that I think I should either

  • invest in ETFs

Or lower my mortgage which is high (I pay a lot in interest)

My mortgage interest rate is 5.125% for 7/1 arm. Ideally I'd put it there but I'm afraid of having too much real estate exposure. Markets have given better returns.

Holding cash is the dumbest thing I can do at the moment. I can buy the dips, stock market corrections but my track record in stock market suggests I chicken out on the drops. Aka I didn't go in hard during 202 crash.

I'm right on savings as my earnings break even with my mortgage on a monthly basis. I miss the days I used to regularly invest in the market ETFs or good tech companies.

33M - Help me simplify my $800k brokerage positions

Hi all! I’m seeking advice on how to simplify my portfolio. I have a lot of scattered positions across different ETFs in the name of “diversification”, but I’m realizing now that it’s scattershot and underperforms the S&P 500 trackers.

Which one of the S&P 500 trackers should I move into? Should I use multiple? Also I’m not sure if it makes more sense to DCA that movement over time, or just rip the bandaid now. There’s a mix of long and short term gains in this portfolio. Any advice on how to prioritize selling?

25M, $11k Portfolio – How to Build a Dividend-Focused Strategy with ETFs?

Hi all,

I’m 25 with an $11k portfolio (DGRO, IVV, VHYL) and plan to invest $10k annually (+$1k/year). My goal is to reinvest dividends now and use them for living expenses later.

How should I allocate for growth and steady dividends? Focus on high-yield, dividend growth, or a mix? Any tips or sectors to consider?

Thanks!

Questions who know alot about portfolio pies on M1 finance or have used it alot before

What's a strategy in M1 finance to make sure stay over the 10k USD limit on the platform (to avoid the 3 dollar monthly fee)? If you have around 11k USD to invest

Like should I keep 10k in a short term treasury ETF (something better than SGOV out there?)

And then make a 1000 USD pie that can crash in value but I'll still be over 10k?

What might you try?

9k in a short term treasury ETF (something better than SGOV out there?)

And then make a 2000 USD pie that can crash in value but I'll still most likely be over 10k?

Mainz Biomed NV Implements Strategic Reverse Stock Split for Nasdaq Compliance

Mainz Biomed NV is taking decisive action to reinforce its presence on the Nasdaq by implementing a 1-for-40 reverse stock split, effective December 3, 2024. This initiative is aimed at boosting the company's share price to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, by reducing the total outstanding shares from 80.1 million to around 2.0 million. This move is designed to enhance the stock's attractiveness and stability in the market. Despite a significant decrease in the number of shares, the proportional ownership and voting rights of shareholders will be preserved, reflecting the company's commitment to maintaining shareholder value while complying with Nasdaq standards.

Retirement portfolio

My retired parents have about $600K. My sister told my parents to put almost 90% of that 600k into government bonds (4 year). Now, I am not a financial expert but her advise seems very risky. It isnt even a US gov bond either.

Is my sister advice a solid one? If not, what would be the best way to create a retirement portfolio for my parents? Currently 2/3 rd of $600k is in cash the rest in Gold.

as you can see it tends to outperform but can get whipsawed and its Sharpe has fallen over time. this strategy would've done very poorly during covid but I dont think we will see another bond bear market like that for a bit.

Let me know what you guys think
