Looking at a couple Vanguard ones (500 and growth). Should I split it up into more or just stick with those two?

QQQ....not an index but an ETF.
Next few years .....is risky with any fund.

Why is that? I’m trying to be safe with modest returns as opposed to chasing my arse with random stocks since I really don’t know what I’m doing. Is this not the way to go?

Misread your question. I thought you'd be pulling out in the next few years.
I do like the technology fund QQQ.

How safe do you want to be? 2-year treasuries are running at ~4%, 12-month treasuries are running around 4.7% and 1-months are running around 4.3%. From a risk-aversion standpoint, those are pretty solid.

QQQ or QQQM? The later looks like the ETF.

QQQ is an ETF that tracks the Nasdaq index.
I consider it a form of indexing in that regard.

Are you me?
Been doing 75% VTSAX and 25% VWIGX, once a week, every week, for the last decade. I've seen no reason to complicate it.

I’ve been buying some jepq every month in an IRA, 11% or so dividend divided monthly which I reinvest.

I do similar but Schwab funds. I wish Schwab had a better index fund for international investing on its Select List.

VOO-25% ( S/P 500)
VWIGX- 25% (international)
VGT-25% (technology)

I will give you one. The total stock market index.

Im a fan of VXF. Vanguard index of all non-SP500 companies. Historically its long term returns are near identical to the SP500 but is trading at a significant discount to the SP500 with recession fears looming and smaller companies facing more challenges. Its more volatile but is relatively cheap and when the market comes back, it will likely outperform.

quote:QQQ is just the 100 largest (non-financial) complained in the Nasdaq with companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, Pepsi, Costco, etc. in it. So they’re not random stocks, but it does tend to be more tech heavy, which usually leads to more growth in a bull market, but volatility.

Might not be what you’re looking for, but it’s much safer than just picking random stocks. Here is the website with its holdings, performance, etc.

Depends on your goals and risk levels. If you want !ow cost and low risk, then buy ETFs for s&p500, Russell 1000, and Russell 2000.
