    Does anyone else use their stock portfolio as their emergency fund instead of leaving it in a savings account?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 08:47 AM PDT

    Earlier this year I had my 6 months of expenses in a savings account. But then around February-April inflation fears started being spread all across the media. And instead of being afraid of stock market crash. My thoughts were why am I keeping so much cash in a savings account if inflation is eating away at it each year.

    My thinking is even if my portfolio crashes 90%. I would still have enough to cover 6 months of expenses. But the thing is if that worst case happens and SPY/VOO/VTI crashed 90% there might be bigger issues in the world than the money I lost. The best case is my capital appreciates higher than the .01% as well as higher than inflation it would have gotten in a savings account. Anyone else do this?

    Palantir stock based compensation rebuttal and general analysis

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 05:48 AM PDT

    This is because the post that recently was made about PLTR sbc was low quality. So here's a better more honest analysis of SBC and a look into the companies current prospects.

    Firstly regarding Palantir. Their leadership is incredible. 90% commercial growth YoY. 50% overall YoY growth and a guidance of 30% growth through 2025 that is totally sandbagged and going to get beaten easily next earnings.

    They have 0$ in debt. Zero fucking dollars in debt.

    Roughly 2.5 billion in cash including 50 million in gold because they're so diversified

    Hundreds of millions in start up investments

    3.5 billion in remaining money coming in from contracts (meaning they could stop doing business and still pull in 3.5 billion first)

    Stock based compensation has gone down significantly in last two quarters.

    Stock based compensation is completely comparable to other companies in similar fields or in tech.

    It's not just for their executives it's a fantastic way to incentivize all employees existing and future to stay with the company for the long run by granting shares.

    Stock based compensation doesn't equal them selling shares. It means granting shares. You're equating it with mostly Alex Karp and a few other leaders doing PRE SCHEDULED tax sales of shares because he's as part of going public (he has almost 10% ownership) the government is taxing him as if going public means he owes taxes on billions of dollars that he ONLY has in shares. In order to cover this he and others sell shares on a pre determined schedule so they don't go to jail with the IRS.

    It has nothing to do with their commitment to the company or their leadership or their faith in the future. If you had any idea what you were talking about you'd realize none of them have really changed their overall stake in the company which is basically what your post alleges is that they're just printing money and getting out dishonestly which couldn't be further from the truth.

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4441572-palantir-the-truth-about-its-stock-based-comp

    Here's one HONEST analysis not hype bear fud.

    Nothing is uniquely negative about PLTRs stock based compensation and it's a very good long term tool for growing a company that has only been public for about a year so what can you really expect at such a stage. It's total dilution amounted to about 10% . Retail traders own 75% of this stock and have sold off well over 10% many times over the FUD from this shitty narrative.

    Here's some general insight into the company

    The company is NOT a 20 year company that has never been profitable. What they were doing 20 years ago for the government is barely comparable to the company today. Foundry (their flagship product for both commercial and even government partners) has basically only existed for about 2 years and has even undergone significant improvements even in the last years that will guarantee great margins and efficient delivery. They continually built the company under a growth model taking in revenue, hiring the BEST engineers ask anyone who studied coding and software in any large schools around the country between 2005-now these guys have always had a legendary reputation with engineers students would wear palantir t shirts and shit constantly because they were the place that was actually doing cutting edge software work. They always reinvested over and over growing the government side while working on perfecting their current new products for over a decade making Foundry and the apollo AI framework that now allows them to actually deploy Foundry cheaply.

    Lets even take a look at recent earnings. Quarter prior international growth was 17% So at most recent quarter 28% international growth they posted a pretty excellent QoQ increase. It suggests growth is picking up everywhere. Also I think the fact that they've done immense hiring in the short term plays into both why SBC is being kept high and why some margins were less than Q1. Most of the hiring they've done started in Q2 and only really picked up steam into the middle of the year. Let's also realize that the hiring has been almost entirely focused on distribution employees so they're very clearly moving into much greater expectations and focus of sales than they ever have in the history of their company. Peter Thiel actually has incredibly long explanations of how he thinks the optimal way to build a software companywide is to give as little focus on distribution as possible for as long as possible. This year's hiring is a dramatic indication that they're moving to a new stage as a company.

    Also the fact that their product keeps improving even quarter to quarter. They're constantly saying that they themselves are continually finding new ways and more importantly new industries that Foundry and Appllo can enter and be extremely useful. The perfect example of this was the exciting and very recent development of their meta constellation satellite work that they're now doing.

    I think the reason the stock jumped 10% on earnings and now a lot more since was a direct reaction to the evidence that there is no industry they aren't relevant in for software and they're definitely only at the beginning of entering many industries.

    Recent announcements like Foundry for builders or startups more accurately is another reason for the stocks rise because it was argued for a very long time that they would never be viable at offering their product to anything other than extremely large companies. Most importantly was that at the end of Q1 they announced that they were going to be offering Foundry for free as a way to get it into the hands of more companies it seemed very clear as investors to expect this as a short term damper on margins. The idea is that it would get their product into so many more hands that it would be worth it in the long term with a very obvious temporary effect on margins. The fact that client growth both US AND internationally is accelerating not decelerating points to the idea that their distribution network is at its beginning but it is working and I assert extremely high odds that client growth continues to accelerate for consecutive quarters for a long time.

    They will easily do more than 400 million revenue at next quarters report easily beat guidance and the one benefit to where SBC has been is that it is very likely it decreases potentially even dramatically decreases. Their trajectory is very predictable currently and they are a company that eventually will be a necessity to use if businesses don't want to get out competed. One of their main benefits to their customer companies is increasing margins of customers by finding many inefficiencies so they're one of the few products that can increase your bottom line without making you do anything as a company. This means that even during economic downturn they will be strongly potentially even more in demand because companies will need ways to look better and show cash flow even when consumption declines for periods of time.

    If you want to understand the history of the company or what they do they're basically a SaaS company (yes SaaS their margins are good enough and they're only going to improve as they focus more and more outside of government Gotham products)

    Their software allows you to run your company through their platform and it keeps your data completely private. Meaning palantir doesn't see your data and mine information and neither does anyone else. You get better illustrations and representations of your companies affairs and it makes significant insights and determines ways to create better efficiency, heads up preemptive solutions before problems occur, and in many cases can bring so many data sets into play that you can learn things you didnt even know were possible.

    If you want resources for this there are a number of testimonials from customers describing what Foundry does for them on Palantirs youtube

    You can go search Tom Nashs video on SkyWise (which is Foundry for airbus). He has a couple of them really incredible deep dive

    You can watch their most recent video about meta satellite constellations

    They have partners within every industry. Research, academics, science, cancer, genomics, aerospace, literally every military branch, health care both insurance providers and health care providers like the NHS, also NIH, big oil companies like BP, big manufacturers like 3m, faurecia, Rio Tinto mining, John deere, big retailers like bass pro and others even larger, news media companies, robotics, AI, autonomous driving like wejo partnered with gm on that, electronic vehicle startups and even electronic flying vehicle start ups, now satellite companies and US Government satellite ownership even. Do you see where this is going? There's nothing they can't break into and they are what is going to be necessary to have a competitive edge which is why everyone is going to have to use them.

    Which brings me to another point. Palantir doesn't have direct competition. They've explained this many times and anyone who says they are a snowflake competitor doesn't understand them as a company at all. Their competition is potential clients who choose to attempt to make an in house software to glean insights into their own data and structure it uniquely for their own needs. This is Palantirs biggest "competition" and they will crush it. That kind of work often takes years and is extremely expensive. Just the time that Palantir can save companies and the headaches of making all the mistakes that come with originally building a software like that makes Palantir worth it.

    They have incredible partnerships with Amazon and IBM for new and important distribution channels for getting their products out and quickly and have stated many times that they can deploy their software completely remotely cutting out the old concern that they will never scale because they need forward deployed engineers to set up software. They still use those but I think it's heavily around massive clients and particularly US gov gotham products not Foundry as we now know it.

    Sick of this ridiculous SBC destroying value garbage narrative. We'll see how much value is destroyed in a year when their stock explodes and you'll be wishing you didn't listen to the geniuses who thought they caught Palantir swindling everyone. Also all the people who didn't get swindled by the bear narratives this year are fucking happy as hell because most of them have at least doubled their positions over the last 6 months as the stock constantly traded in a holding pattern.

    Last point is its holding key resistance right now could easily break out in the short term towards 30$ or beyond. Don't say I didn't warn you. If it holds this 26$ mark and doesn't break down below it this month you'll never see PLTR under 24 dollars again and after next earnings I guarantee you'll never see it under 30$ again.

    PLTR paying themselves first

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 06:42 PM PDT

    So old PLTR. Everyone loves them. The hype is grand. Actually they are not a bad early stage company. Growing revenues at a great rate with gross profits along side it. Most of their expenses after gross is selling/marketing expenses so like many software companies they will be able to reduce that expense a ton and therefore be high earnings growth a little down the road. Theres just one thing I can't get over and it breaks it for me...

    Stock Based Compensation of 1.2B. Paying themselves 1.2B in stock when earnings are negative 1.1B. Thats a crazy disservice to shareholders. No wonder your PLTR shares won't go anywhere. For all you PLTR holders thats a major red flag and speaks to poor leadership.

    Only posting this opinion because I never heard anyone talk about it amongst the hype...so there.

    Walgreens DD ($WBA): Safe Stock, Selling at a Discount, 4% Dividend, Improving Business --> Price Target $74 (50% upside).

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 11:49 AM PDT

    ***Disclaimers & Disclosures: This article is meant for discussion and entertainment purposes only. The following is not investment advice, nor a recommendation to buy or sell any security/investment. Investments always carry risk, so DYOR.

    We are traders & private investors who see the value of Reddit in creating and growing an investing community.

    Stocks included in this article: WBA, AAPL, MSFT, GS, CVS, RAD, WMT, TGT, UNH, CI, DG, JNJ, PG, AMZN, BRK/A, BRK/B.

    We are long WBA.

    ***

    Walgreens ($WBA) is a safe and cheap stock, selling at a discount, with an improving underlying business, and ripe for a buyout. In addition to a healthy 4% dividend, Walgreens is also a major potential takeover target in the healthcare/pharmaceutical space. Selling at attractive valuations, and as both a Dow component and a best-of-breed player in the pharmacy business, we think Walgreens represents a huge investment opportunity. Furthermore, with cheap valuations, a low Beta, and lower correlation to the broader market, we believe WBA is a top defensive play & income producer, and could be added as a core position to anyone's portfolio. Including WBA in your portfolio is highly likely to reduce overall portfolio volatility and risk, and improve your performance.

    Our price target for $WBA is $74, an upside of approximately 50%.

    Below are the 6 main reasons we're bullish on WBA.

    1) WBA is a Dow component.

    Walgreens stock ($WBA) is a Dow component. As one of only 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the oldest and most historically-followed U.S. market index dating back to the late 1800s), WBA is now considered one of the select large-cap companies which (together) accurately represent the overall market.

    Though WBA has a small weighting in the Dow (only ~1% when compared to 3% for Apple (AAPL), 5% for Microsoft (MSFT), and 7% for Goldman Sachs (GS), for example), it still stands to benefit greatly from being one of the most visible and widely-followed stocks as part of the Dow index. Moreover, with $Billions (or Trillions) of Dollars in passive investing, a lot of money flows to index funds. As index funds are bought, money is then invested into WBA, which pushes the price up.

    WBA has A LOT of room to go. Its stock price can increase and earn a higher weighting, which could then trigger a "virtuous cycle", where the stock price increases --> WBA weighting increases --> more passive (and active) money flows into WBA --> the stock price increases --> the positive cycle repeats.

    In short, as a (relatively new) part of the Dow, WBA stock stands to gain. As it benefits from passive/index investing, its market cap can be $Billions larger. The honor of being one of the few companies in the Dow will keep WBA stock visible to investors and will keep the stock supported in a big way.

    2) Best-of-Breed in Pharmacy/Healthcare

    Walgreens is clearly one o f the largest players and best-of-breed companies in the Pharmacy/Healthcare space. Not only is WBA's inclusion in the Dow a huge statement that WBA is best-of-breed, but also the lack of competition and alternative choices in pharmacy stocks is a huge advantage to WBA. With only CVS ($CVS) and Rite-aid ($RAD) as similar peers in the entire market (and with worse financials!), WBA is a clear #1 investment choice.

    3) 4% Dividend

    A 4% dividend makes WBA an income investment opportunity, in addition to the growth and stock price increases we expect to see in the near future. Not only is WBA a relatively safe stock with a low Beta (lower volatility than the broader market), but also the excellent 4% dividend payment is already half of the stock market's yearly average return (8%) going back 100+ years.

    Its further possible that WBA's dividend can continue to grow sustainably; in fact, WBA is a blue-chip dividend powerhouse and officially a member of the "Dividend Aristocrats", companies which have increased their dividend for 25+ consecutive years. Walgreens has increased its dividend for 45 years and running.

    4) Attractive Valuations

    WBA has very attractive valuations, and the stock is selling at a major discount. Investors have a chance right now to buy the stock and a great company at a bargain, right before the stock price could rise by 50%+.

    Why is the stock so cheap? The company has shown poor stock performance over the past few years mostly due to poor earnings performance, low profitability, and high debt. Fortunately, things are improving and the stock hasn't yet reflected the good news. It will soon be priced in, and the stock price will rise.

    How do we know it's cheap? Why is the stock a "buy"? WBA stock sells at attractive low multiples (1) on an absolute basis (10x forward P/E, 2x P/B, 9x P/FCF), (2) on an historical basis (lowest P/S and near 15-year low P/B and P/FCF), and (3) on a peer comparables basis (WBA is selling at significantly cheaper valuation multiples than Walmart (WMT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG), Target (TGT), Dollar General (DG), United Health (UNH), Cigna (CI), etc.).

    In other words, the stock is cheap on nearly all fronts, and potentially offering a major value investment. If WBA had multiples more comparable to its peer group, the stock would be trading at a significantly higher price. As market participants come to realize this market mispricing/inefficiency, the stock price is likely to adjust higher.

    5) Improving Business

    Walgreens' business and future prospects seem to be improving. With a new CEO at the helm (the first African American female CEO of a Fortune 500 company), along with critical strategic decisions/initiatives likely upcoming, WBA is very well-positioned to grow and gain market share.

    With most locations (physical stores) in very good condition still looking new, located on prime real estate, and acting as top places to get vaccinated against Covid-19, there is plenty more time in WBA's bullish cycle. (see: https://www.netleaseadvisor.com/tenant/walgreens/ )

    We will look at the upcoming year's revenue, income, and cash flows to judge WBA's progress and performance.

    6) Takeover Target / Buyout

    The cherry on top for Walgreens ($WBA) stock is a takeover.

    Walgreens is an attractive takeover target. Especially in the retail/pharmaceutical/healthcare space, Walgreens presents a market-moving opportunity for a large public company or private equity group. In fact, this was attempted not too long ago when in late-2019 KKR ($KKR) showed interest in taking WBA private in the largest private-equity buyout of all-time (see: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/nov/11/walgreens-boots-alliance-kkr-buyout-offer ). The takeover offer at the time was $70-80/share, 40-60% higher than current prices.

    There is clearly significant interest in WBA, and it's been quiet for a little while. The sleeping lion (or bull?) could wake up at any moment.

    A takeover has been attempted at much higher prices by private equity buyers. The existence of such investor interest and possible takeover offers provides (1) a strong catalyst for a soaring stock price, and (2) a floor to the stock, which will support the stock at or above current prices. If the stock price drops too far, buyers are highly likely to step in.

    Additionally, though maybe unlikely, both Amazon ($AMZN) and Warren Buffett / Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK/A)($BRK/B) could be potential buyers. Amazon has shown much interest in expanding into Pharma/Drugs/Prescriptions as well as expanding its retail operation. WBA seems to be a great potential fit; and at only $50-100B, WBA is not such a big purchase for the $2 Trillion market cap Amazon.

    Warren Buffett and/or Berkshire Hathaway could also be a potential investor. WBA fits many of the criteria which Buffett and other value investors look for. Additionally, Buffett and a joint venture between Amazon, Berkshire, and JP Morgan (called "Haven") showed strong interest in disrupting the healthcare sector until recently disbanding (see: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/04/haven-the-amazon-berkshire-jpmorgan-venture-to-disrupt-healthcare-is-disbanding-after-3-years.html ).

    It seems painfully clear that Amazon ($AMZN), Berkshire ($BRK/A)($BRK/B), and other major players are highly-interested in gaining a foothold in the space which Walgreens ($WBA) already dominates. If takeover interest materializes, or if Buffett decides to invest more heavily in WBA, you can bet there will be a lot of attention on the stock, and the stock price is likely to be much higher.

    What are some of the blue chip stocks that failed in the last 20-30 years?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 06:38 PM PDT

    I see MSFT, AAPL, GOOG, and etc get recommended as buy-and-hold stocks all the time. While I do own a good amount of these stocks, I wonder what blue chips were the MSFT, AAPL, and GOOG 20-30 years ago and failed. And why did they fail.

    Lynch was so spot on with “buy what you know”

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 12:17 PM PDT

    A little backstory. I'm a software engineer. Been working professionally for six years.

    Over the weekend I was watching some Peter Lynch videos and heard him tell the story about buying what you know.

    Such simple advice, but it's powerful. I'm going to start buy more stocks on companies who tools I use. Crazy to think of the gains if I bought in with cloudflare, mongodb, attlassian, etc.

    I know it's super simple advice, but it's shaped up how I'm looking at stocks going forward.

    What's up with Rule 15c-211?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 09:55 AM PDT

    "On September 28, 2021, new amendmentsto Rule 15c-211 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency. These amendments restrict the ability of market makers to publish quotations for those companies that have not made required current financial and company information available to regulators and investors."

    "Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, TD Ameritrade will only accept orders to liquidate positions - (i.e. no new buy orders) starting on or after September 3, 2021. Please note: After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited."

    What the hell is going on? I'm super super long on HEMP because industrial hemp has so far shown to be thoroughly superior to every other fiber in nearly every way, but i'm also trying to be a safe intelligent investor that doesn't get unknowingly fucked over my systemic changes. Are these ~1500 OTC securities just going to die when they turn off the buy button? Im a new investor, I know the stock market is totally rigged but i'm just trying to understand whats going on here as I haven't seen any statements about this change being temporary

    Why is a company being unprofitable or valuation still used as a bear case to dismiss so many quality growth stocks?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 08:13 AM PDT

    I have seen it time and time again that valuation is why people avoid stocks. To name several examples NET, CRWD, MELI, SE, SHOP, DKNG, SNOW, CRM. As well a high P/E ratios such as CMG and NVDA.

    Shouldnt stocks like that be valued with several metrics as well as if the sector they are in is growing? Also I have noticed stocks like that are often sold early due to these same valuation fears.

    How long have you been investing/trading? What have you learned since?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 08:21 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    I'm super curious as to how long everyone has been in the market for, and what they have learned in the time they've been in it.

    I, myself , have been in the market for a year. Prior to this, I knew very little.. so I learned quite a lot. The thing I've learned that comes up the most was "A dead investor is a good investor" ... so I have been doing just that. My portfolio is 40% XEQT / VFV , and 20% in individual stocks. (Mainly blue chip / growth/risk, as I'm young)

    Now it's your turn!

    Let me know, if you want!

    Have a great Labour Day!

    Take care

    Stay safe

    Happy investing / trading

    Types of stocks you avoid investing in (and the reasons behind them)

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 11:50 PM PDT

    Note that I'm not asking about the standard reasons we all try to avoid certain stocks (lack of growth, bearish, etc.). I'm asking if there are certain industries or categories of stock you don't invest in (you can still trade them).

    Like some investors, I don't buy tobacco stocks. Even with the high dividends, I just detest smoking (not smokers; they have their own reasons for picking up the habit, and I'm not one to judge). Cigarette smoke is one of the most insufferable smells (not to mention how damaging it is to our health), and I want no part of a company that propagates it.

    Why do people want to day trade?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 05:53 PM PDT

    For a long time I have been seeing videos and posts all over the internet talking about wanting to start learning how to trade stocks and options as well as "courses" that will supposedly teach you how to become a profitable trader.

    My question is why? There are multiple studies and books that show that trying to trade stocks and options is extremely unlikely to net you a positive ROI in the long run, things like transaction fees eat into your net gains just as one example. Am I mistaken in all this and day trading is actually much more profitable than just buy and hold with DCA?

    From what I understand you will not make money day trading as you are practically condemned by the laws of mathematics to break even or lose money in the long run. So what is so appealing about it? The only way I can understand it is if you are trading with a 500k+ account but even then why risk it? It is as if some people have forgotten or don't realize that the stock market is a place to store and compound wealth, not create it over night. Of the richest men on wall street none of them are so called "traders" (as far as I know).

    I understand there is always a very small minority who might be able to make meaningful gains in the long run but statistically speak that is not going to be you. Maybe I am just behind the curve and this is the new way to make money, but this is just the way I think of things.

    Can anyone explain how buying warrants work compared to the actual stocks?

    So the question came up in another chat room while discussing KPLT spiking as of lately. Their stock is priced at $6.38 and it's warrant is $1.29. Must both be purchased together? Can the warrants be purchased alone? Someone explain this please.

    Evaluating or benchmarking a portfolio

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 06:01 AM PDT

    I'm closing in on a year since i started investing and I'd like to try to benchmark my performance versus someone who knows what they're doing. An obvious and simple way to do this would be to plot my percent gains over the past year versus the S&P500. However, what I'm concerned about is that I've been adding to my portfolio monthly and I don't want that to skew my results. If i just plot the percent change daily in my etrade versus the percent change daily of the S&P.

    Is there a good blog post, tutorial, or YouTube that details a good way to quantify performance?

    Also, how valid is determining performance by just comparing to the S&P? Will an expert investor typically beat it by 10%? 20%? Is simply matching or falling a percentage point short horrible performance? Or is that horrible performance?

    Thanks in advance!

    Convince me why Nvidia is overvalued because I don't see it

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 10:42 PM PDT

    People talk about a lot of tech/cybersecurity stocks being over-valued, but in many ways I think Nvidia is undervalued to be perfectly honest if we're looking at a long period of time.

    As Analyst Arthur Lai said, tech sales to the auto industry are likely to exceed sales to producers of smartphones, computers, tablets and wearables combined in as little as four years.

    Smart cars of the future will be filled to the brim with tech upgrades, which only further will help Nvidia. That's not even taking into account things as basic as AC on a school bus that requires chips like NVIDIA to work, PS5's which are still in limited supply, and the countless other ways it benefits.

    Someone give me the bear case on why I'm wrong. Why is NVIDIA overvalued?

    Is an Inverse ETF really worth it? Or are you better off waiting to buy the dip?

    With all the Bear talk of a downturn, Delta variant, market correction, debt ceiling, end of the Bull market and 2008 sized inflation. I've been looking at Inverse ETFs, there seems to be massive decay on these and I'm not sure it's a good investment.

    Is there a good argument FOR Inverse ETFs?

    Wash up rule

    Posted: 06 Sep 2021 08:54 AM PDT

    Hey guys;

    Too dumb to understand this rule.

    If I had invested in 2 stocks say $3000 In Tesla and $4000 in Amazon.

    I sold both at a loss on the same day - Tesla at $2000 and Amazon at $3000 ($2000 loss)

    I then buy Tesla for $4000 on the same day and don't touch Amazon every again.

    I understand my losses for Tesla won't count with the 30 day rule but would my losses for Amazon count?

    If someone could help with this. Be highly appreciated.

    Advice on the portfolio I made before funding it

    Posted: 05 Sep 2021 07:21 PM PDT

    Hello everyone was wondering if anyone can tell me if this portfolio I made was decent for a long-term portfolio.

    10% VOO for broad market

    10% IWF for broad market

    20% VXUS for international

    20% IWM for small/mid-cap

    10 % XLF for financial

    10 % XLK for technology

    10 % XLU for utilities

    10 % XLRE for real state

    I really like both VOO and IWF but don't want to focus on one or another, so decided to do 10% each even though there is some overlap. Should I choose one and put 20% in it instead of splitting it between two?

    I put an equal amount an international exposure and small/mid-cap to match the board market. VXUS because it is really the staple international ETF I could think of. Choosing IWM for a mix of small and mid-cap stocks instead of choosing several different ETFs for each cap, seems like it would be better that way in one ETF instead of splitting it into two.

    Then 10% in four sectors, I really like compared to others. I do believe tech is a good play for the long term and feel that financials and utilities would be good for a more stable portfolio with real estate for a more wildcard with some dividends in it. Can anyone comment on this if I should edit the ratios or remove/replace a fund or just give a general opinion?
