Wait for VOO etf price to drop before buying?

Hey guys.
im planning to start investing in VOO ETF, but it seems like the price is at all time high now as it seems to be a bullish market ? do you think it make sense to wait for the price to drop a little before buying?

What ETFs track the S & P 500 index?
When considering index investment strategies, especially for large-cap stocks in the U.S. stock market, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that track the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500 Index) are a popular choice among many investors.
The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$was created by Standard & Poor's in 1957. It is a market-capitalization-weighted index that incl...

0livia : VGT/SCHD $Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT.US)$ $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD.US)$ combo are great idea, although they cancel each other to some extent - VOO $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$ is a blend of Large cap growth and Large cap value, and these two track these two benchmarks with a small tracking error. Voo alone would do a similar thing.
If your goal is to beat the market you should be less diversified, not more. You have to make some bets, and hard decisions, like SCHD or VGT. Otherwise, you will be close to the market average with this combo, which you can achieve with a simpler portfolio.

Haiwe Devip : Thanks for this, and I agree. While there is a lot of overlap, it also is spread across many very good companies and sectors. Definitely not globally diversified and all in US equities.
With that said, any suggestions on how to diversify better, either in the US or international?
One of the reasons I’ve been hesitant to switch up a strategy like this up is that nothing I could find has performed as well as the S&P 500 $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ and the Nasdaq $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ over at least the last decade. Thats a really like time to lose on gains if someone were to be more diversified.
Being Canadian, I also have a portion of my portfolio in Canadian ETFs, some of which also have international exposure. Again, they have lagged the US by a long shot for quite some time.

Devip : You must keep in mind that most of this ETFs have very identical holdings.
Between VOO and QQQ is 45% overlap and between VOO and VTI there is 87% overlaps. So what you do basically is investing in the same thing in 3 different ETF. In this way you decrease your investment volumen and that will significantly decrease your returns.

Viviye : You could do SPLG. $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPLG.US)$
It tracks the S&P 500 index. $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ Lowest expense ratio I’ve seen on an etf. Can’t beat 500 different stocks in 1 stock if that makes sense and if you just reinvest the dividend and have a long time horizon, you’ll be golden.
Split SPLG & SPGM $Spdr Portfolio Msci Global Stock Market Etf (SPGM.US)$ , 50% bonus exposure to the top companies + 20% developed markets overseas.

Falie : I’m a diehard VOO fan….im young and might start doing spxl going forward in my taxable because I want to experience more volatility in exchange for maybe higher gains. Or implosion. Retirement I sit happily on VOO and bury my head in the sand. In my surplus investing I do some degen stuff just to get it out of my system.

Hello, I hope you all well.
Please find the attached report.
Wow?! 6 days straight of redness…
I think we all know why?!
SOXL has been struggling a lot, and I am simply not happy about the institutional level of shortening happening in semiconductor sectors. I have seen people dropping out of SOXL (understandably 😆 ), and there is a dystopia feel among semiconductor investors (understandably 😆 ). Often, semiconductor sectors foreshadow the overall tech field, and let me tel...

My First Year Investment Journey as a University Student

Last year December, I've decided to step outside of my comfort zone and do a custom portfolio instead of templates provided by StashAway. Here, I created my own custom ETF Portfolio with the following allocation:
[ESGU: 25%, IVV: 29%, QQQ: 25%, IHYU: 10%, GLD, 10%]
Here's my strategy (DCA, Buy in Dips)
DCA small amounts twice a month (1st & 16th), as well as buying at major dips, I do not invest in a larger sums unless there's a major dip. ...
