Investors are considering their options as the U.S. equity markets, particularly the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, experience volatility. With the Fed leaving interest rates unchanged while signaling potential cuts, market uncertainty remains high. Young investors are encouraged to play the long game with stocks, despite looming economic concerns such as inflation and a potential recession. The article compares investing in the tech-focused Nasdaq 100 with the more diversified Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTI), suggesting that VTI might be a savvy choice for those seeking broad market exposure over time.
For most investors, the VTI is good enough to get the job done. It's a broad market index fund that's even broader than the more popular S&P 500 index.
Playing the long game with stocks still seems like a wise move, especially for younger investors.
While a so-called 'Trumpcession' may still come to fruition, it certainly seems like value investors are willing to step in and brave the recent wave of market turbulence.
Should new investors embrace more risk and double down on tech (and AI) on weakness with the Nasdaq 100, or stick with a more diversified VTI?
