Skipping on emerging markets, small caps, mid caps, and international in general would be unwise, but yeah, you can do much worse than just lobbing money into VOO or an equivalent.

My point is not about whether an individual investment is good or bad, but thinking about how it fits in your portfolio. Do you want 6.7% of your portfolio in AAPL? If so, VOO is all you need. If not, you should probably reconsider 100% VOO.

This is a topic i’ve been considering and was planning dedicating some of my late night research/reading to tonight. What is considered a healthy mix? Currently my 401k is 90% FXAIX and 10% stocks (taking a chance with some AT picks).

I’ve been seeing the ARK ETFs and was thinking of maybe putting 10% or so in 1 or 2 of those. Curious to learn how to maximize my current money in the market.

Yeah for someone who knows what he’s doing and/or will take the time to research etc. For a passive investor or someone with low risk tolerance, I think 100 percent SP500 Index fund makes a lot of sense. And a lot of people who “think” they know what they’re doing really don’t. And unless you’re sitting on a mountain of wealth, paying someone high fees to do it for you is unwise in many cases.
