Problem?

There is no "best" index fund. The funds that you should place in your portfolio will differ depending on your unique circumstances and risk tolerance.

If you're young you should be going balls to the wall highrisk while earning as much money as you can normally.

>>1069782
VFIAX has better expense ratio

>>1069821
Agreed. People in their 20s and 30s should basically be all equity, maybe some real estate.

a mixture of their institutional us stock funds that mimics total stock market

>not just shoveling money into leveraged ETFs

How do you not lose tremendous amounts of money with those?

>>1070211
by staying with it and not letting the usual ups and downs scare you out.

10k invested in UPRO for example in 2009 would be worth right around ~90k today.

not a shabby return for 6 years..

>>1070211
By holding indefinitely. (or at least until it gets to a high which is of course a gamble, since people claimed 1800 was the "highest the s&p would go", which of course is laughable.

This.

The >i'll buy when it's down!
meme is a meme.

The s&p could very well hit 2,500 by summer and then you'll have missed out on a whole load of gains.

>>1070222

>tfw i didn't buy fucking UPRO

I-i...

That's it, buy in right now, right after a 5 year unprecedented bull run that has just recently developed a classic 'head and shoulders' formation, during some of the most risk laden economic circumstances in the US market in 100 years, after one of the worst Januaries on record, what could go wrong? I mean it's just UP UP UP WARREN BUFFETT HERE WE COME

>>1070258
how silly
who gives a fuck about gains when you can have gains while being confident that the bust has already occured

>>1070351
>Wrong.

of course when the market is sucking dick it wont do hot. but over the long term bull market that is 'Murica, theyre great. sure, it fell 6% in a year from 08-09, a shitty year for the economy as a whole. but what about the average 39% return from 09-16?

but sure, just call me wrong and post an article referencing time frames of 1 year
