How to make money from ETF's?

Consistent buys and hold long term you will see growth. Just give it time. I’ve been consistently buying into some funds for several years. Don’t sell if you don’t need the money it will just create a taxable event

Just buy them and hold them. They are less volatile than individual stocks, so you won’t have massive 80%swings up in a day of trading but you also won’t have 80% losses in a day either.

They are not get rich quick plays so if you are trying to retire this week, you might want to go out all of your money in one of the penny stocks in the other thread. They are, however, relatively safe plays to build your wealth over time. Again, buy and hold.

That being said, you need to pick the correct etf to buy and hold. The safest play will be to put 1/2 in vti and 1/2 in vxus and call it a day. You can add a little more aggression with ARKW, YOLO, ARKG, or QQQ.

Buy an etf and look 15 years later

No need bro. I meant it as nothing more than a joke. Was just funny when I read the acronym out loud to myself. I knew what you meant.

QQQ
ARKK to get some midcap exposure

Pump them over the next 15 years and sleep easy

theres a huge difference in actively traded ETFs like ARK and index tracking ETFs like QQQ, SPY, etc. OP may not be aware of that

Seems like the ARK ETFs have a higher expense ratio at 0.75%, comparatively speaking. Does that concern anyone? Especially when putting in 25K, 50K, etc.
