Currently invested in VTI and ARKK.

Probably looking to add one of the QQQ(s), thinking of QQQJ, anyone has any views on this or on recommended ETFs?

may i understand why QQQ?
if tech or new economy companies targeted, U may want to revisit Vanguard's ETF - VGT. I think Vanguard itself will explain why i'd prefer VGT to QQQ if i want exposure to a specific pool of tech / new economy companies

note - not a push / recommendation ya, just sharing personal thoughts as i've tech/new econ +properties +value ETFs lined up to shoot at XD

I was looking at VGT as well seeing as the top holdings of VTI and QQQ has a higher similarities compared to that of VGT.

AMZN and TSLA seems to be two heavyweight omitted from VGT as well. Wouldn't be missing TSLA too much since I have ARKK.

I am currently invested in VWRA and bonds too.
Imho 50:50 all world etf and bond should be best risk return... but I overweighted equity a little bit and added some mutual fund for alpha return.

That seems to be quite a low risk portfolio.

How long have you been holding them?

VGT does not have Amazon, Facebook, Google and Netflix. I think Vanguard put those companies in another ETFs.

QQQ has all FAANG.

If you are looking for FAANG heavy ETFs, you can look at IGM and IYW.
IGM is interesting because they have something like where they cap max weight to ~8.5%, to avoid those gigantic market cap companies (i.e. Microsoft and Apple) from dominating the holdings.

Although the expense ratio is a bit high. IGM is 0.48% and IYW is 0.44%. Might not be for you.

You're right. Just realised there's a couple more big names left out from VGT.

Expense ratio for IGM and IYW is in fact bit too high for my liking (irony in my having ARKK).

Are you in on IGM/IYW?

Yeah. But still red overall. My gains built up over late last year is now almost gone.

Same redness for me as well but didn't manage to get.

Hopefully more opportunities arise

hang on, long game is still long time to go.

Even with small amount of cash, I was not sure which one to buy when all so red.

Haha that was a dilemma I had last night!

Wow, thanks for your prompt response, the link I refer to is here: https://www.thefrugalstudent.com/why-im-not...-domiciled-etfs

I was set on CSPX but then when I saw this article, I felt like I made the wrong choice. What's your view on this?

Another thing to take into account for US ETFs is the estate tax that kicks in once you accumulated USD60,000.
