Diversification is the key. Bogleheads usually use a 3 or 4 fund strategy.

Um... If you're trying to pick One fund, and you don't really know the difference between the total stock market fund and a bond fund, then it's worth it to pay 50 basis points to be in a managed mutual fund... Don't be pennywise and pound-foolish.

Vanguard active mutual funds usually have an expense ratio of less than 50 basis points

I’m using VUG for some medium to long term investing. Didn’t see that mentioned here. Did I frick up? Just putting about $250 per month in there at regular intervals.

If you want to auto invest monthly with Vanguard (example: Roth IRAs) you have to choose their mutual funds instead of ETFs for your allocation fyi

Same with Fidelity. The one I want has a minimum starting point though of a few thousand dollars so I'm waiting until I build that fund up a bit to switch over.
