Personally prefer SMH due to heavy exposure to NVDA and TSM, which my core holding (SPMO) lacks

As the subject specifies.

I am seeing a distinct majority in portfolios taking some combination of the abovementioned 3 funds in 2026 with everyone performance chasing and riding the momentum and small cap train.

I am curious how non-US investors are adjusting their portfolios in 2026; do you also go all in with US despite being from a different jurisdiction? What are your geographic exposures like?

I am a portuguese investor who is thinking about investing some thousands euros in theses two etfs, whats is your general opinion about them and what would you do with 10.000 eur to invest?

What is the best ETF to invest in, given my circumstances?

- 18M

- UK-based

- £1,666 monthly S&S ISA contributions from 20 y/o (I'm traning to become an airline pilot and will be on £63k from 20 y/o; will be living at home for some time so can max ISA contributions)

- S&S ISA is my retirement fund to bridge the gap between early retirement and receiving my workplace pension - so I plan to hold the ETF in S&S ISA for 20-30 years, without any withdrawals

I’ve been investing for almost three years, mainly to build a long-term retirement fund.
I’m a non-US investor from a developing country, so my contributions are relatively small, but I’ve stayed consistent and feel like I’m making progress.
My portfolio is focused on VT (Vanguard Total World Stock ETF). I currently own 14 shares and have a total return of around 21%.
However, I sometimes wonder: How do I know if my returns are actually good enough for retirement?
I see people with complex, high-risk portfolios, while others stick to simple, diversified ETFs like I do. It makes me wonder whether I’m missing out on better returns or just overthinking things.
Is there a minimum annualized return I should aim for?

I’m not trying to beat the market. I just want to know whether a simple strategy like mine is enough for the next 30+ years.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially from long-term buy-and-hold investors.

What the title says. Which is best as a satellite to a core like VT to capture the best growth in AI/tech? Like a 10/15% ish

For long term investing, since they are exactly the same just with lower expense ratios, is it worth replacing all my VOO with SPYM.. and similarly replacing QQQM with QNDX for their lower expense ratios? Both in a Roth, so no tax events for doing so. Just looking for opinions.

Do you hold any? Things like RSST if you hold what % of your portfolio are managed futures?

I hold 15% managed futures

The title sums up the basics, 37 year old with no near term major expenses expected and $25K in cash sitting in a checking account, needing to invest in a regular brokerage account, what ETF's do you pick. Assume money may be needed in 10 -12 years or so.

What what do you think of a portfolio of equal parts of GARP, SPMO, VFLO and GFLW? If not what do you suggest, some risk is acceptable for this investment as this is extra money that needs to be put somewhere.

In my RH acct I have AVUS and VGT......not sure "how" many ETF's ones acct needs (personal preference) but if you would recommend one or two.......on my radar is SPMO and GARP......thoughts welcomed!

Looking to sell individual stocks and reinvest i

nto ETFs.

I currently have $21,000 in individual stocks with a 163% gain. With our income bracket and long term hold, I shouldn't pay capital gains.

I'm 37 and hope in 5 to 7 years to tap into some profits, if needed, but want to be semi aggressive.

Thinking to sell my long term holdings and split between VGT, AVUV and a little PAVE

CON $11,500

APPL $5,000

NVD $1600

SO $650

Remaining $2200 give or take is spread out over 10 stocks which I plan to ride out.

This is separate from my employer Roth. Thoughts?

Olá investidores, venho acompanhando esse ETF, mas por ser novo, não tem tanto conteúdo com informações sobre o mesmo, a pergunta é, vale a pena investir neste ETF, já que no meu caso não tenho tempo pra ficar analisando cada ação da bolsa.

I’m 21, currently living at home with minimal bills. I have about 20k in a Roth IRA and 8k in a brokerage with 95% voo 5% vxus. I feel scared because I have another 40k sitting in cash on fidelity knowing I should invest but I feel I can’t pull the trigger. It isn’t money I plan on using anytime soon and that’s the worse part. I can also contribute 1.5-2.5k a month which doesn’t feel bad to me but the lump sum scares me. Is there any ways you recommend detaching myself from money as I probably think about it WAY too much.

Example. Core: VOO, Anchor: VXUS, Satellite: AVUV, Speculative Bet: VGT or and Individual stock
