SCHG
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Growth ETF
stock NYSE ETF

>Even John bogle and the legendary Warren buffet recommend simply investing in the S&P and avoiding international.
I always ask this set of questions when this comes up
Why invest in VTI instead of VOO when the last 20 years VOO has better returns
why invest in VOO and not a tech fund like QQQ or SCHG when they have better returns then VOO
why invest in QQQ and not just the Mag 7 as they have better returns
why invest in the mag 7 and not just go 100% NVDA since it had the best return?

I own etfs VGT, SMH, and added IGM and SMHX as extras. VGT and SMH (SMH which is just semiconductors)  serve well. 
I wanted also to grab some of the rapid AI data center buildouts happening and grabbed a crypto miner ETF because many miners are expanding into AI data centers. I landed on etf WGMI. (I wouldn't otherwise buy the miners unless i wanted an indirect bitcoin investment because before they expanded to data centers, the miners stock price just rose and fell ( a lot!)  with crypto- their only value really was the value of the crypto they were mining. 
All of these have really rallied this year. I wouldn’t consider that typical. A pull back seems inevitable at some point
I have SCHG as a core holding along with VOO so, those are covered. SCHG is similar to QQQ

My 2 cents on this would be:
Create a core US part (DFUS) and satellites around it. SPMO to capture momentum, SCHG for growth and AVUV for small cap value, for it historically having higher returns than S&P500 index.
International is IDMO (momentum) + AVDV (small-cap value premium is more prominent in international) + large cap value + FRDM (emerging but filters countries that have transparency troubles) or AVEM
So:
US: 70%
30% DFUS
15% SPMO
15% SCHG
10% AVUV
INTL:
10% IDMO
10% AVDV
5% DFIV
5% FRDM/ AVEM

You don't need bonds and you are young. Go growth, QQQM/VGT/SCHG/SMH. Hold those until you are 5 years away from retirement.

SCHG for my daughter 5 years old

More SPYM, SCHG and looking to add some META in my Roth to sit by my 20 Google shares and 5 AMZN. Maybe add some RBRK and/or PYPL as well. In my cash account im kinda just waiting around earning 3.75 APR until I find some stuff I wanna get maybe NBIS or some smaller stocks I dont mind taking a small gamble on.

I would do SCHG over VTI

I was gonna do just s and p. But then saw that gold had same performance as s and p. And I bought some crypto in college when it was 40-50k so I already made good money on it. But a good suggestion that in future it won't be the case. I checked the graph for the past 10 years and saw that SCHG QQQ almost earned more than 150% compared to s and p.

I’m new to M1 and immediately created PIEs within PIEs just for this reason. I’m still working on the overall structure but I think I’m going to end up with 3 tiers of PIEs not sure how it will end up yet. I’m thinking a main PIE and inside that PIE “Income” (Then broken up by asset class PIEs) in the same tier or PIE as “Income” I’m thinking “Growth” and “Speculative”. At 55 I’m moving new money into “Income” think stuff like ARCC/FSCO/QQQI/O/BITO etc broken out by asset class. “Growth” might be as simple as SCHG or VOO. “Speculative” could end up where any individual stock holding might end up or maybe the name is just “Stocks” with different PIEs inside. Also still have a Brokerage account at Fidelity in case I want to explore Options.

Schwab has some very nice low cost index funds, too - SCHG (growth, competitive to QQQ), SCHB (large cap blend), SCHF (international developed markets)

I'd skip the gold, crypto, and ARKK entirely.
Keep it simple with just VT, or VTI + VXUS or something
The amount you can save and put away will make vastly more difference over your first 5-10 years, than any of this farting around to two decimal places with how much of SCHG or QQQ you do.
Side note, QQQ is *not* "tech."

VOO, SCHG, SPMO, AVDE

SCHB does not double as fast as SCHG. Rule of 72. percentage growth into 72 = number of years to double. Growth may not always outperform value/broad market, but it has done pretty well for at least the past 15 years.

I like QQQM and/or SCHG as a good growth portfolio base.
If I had to choose 1, I guess I'd choose **SCHG** since it's not limited to just the NASDAQ companies.

SCHG

VTI, SPMO and VGU are doing the same thing, while VXUS is the only diversifying index. I don't know if there are any cons for having overlap (someone please respond if there is), but you'd be better doing SCHG/VTI (80%) and VXUS (20%).

At your age, just go 100% SCHG or SWLGX. Pick one
SWLGX is a more diversified version of SCHG.

There is a very chance one of those stocks has gone the way of Dodo, sold, or turned into a value stock . It's much better to buy QQQM / VUG/ SCHG/ TOPT/ SPMO to make sure whoever are the top dogs at the time of redemption are automatically in your portfolio. That being said I had 17 shares of AAPL bought in 1995 for $495 that turned into about $140k in 2021 - because I forgot that I had them. 🥴

If its your belief in MAG7 then it shouldn’t be recommended to newbies as that is an indirect reinforcement of your bias. DOT COM had the same euphoria as AI and we all know how it ended. I am not saying that it will happen again but what if it does with AI? Your portfolio will be brutally massacred in that case.
There is no strategic growth tilt that exists as such. It is your personal performance chasing behaviour in action which is personified by selecting to invest in ETFs that have massive overlap with VOO.
If you’re invested into VOO which is essentially ~40% MAG7 stock anyway, then there is NO need whatsoever to again invest into SCHG or QQQM in any capacity.
Yes, SPMO will rotate the holdings based on momentum shifts, but by the time this rotation is implemented, your portfolio would have been bashed & thrashed already.
You should research and learn more about asset correlation, diversification, factor investing as well as Growth vs Value cyclial historical performance.
