If I Were Starting Over Today, This Is the ETF I’d Buy First
If I started my first brokerage account, this would be the backbone of my new portfolio.
Overview
I'm in my mid-40s and have been actively investing for about 20 years. My portfolio is a mix of low-cost index funds, dividend stocks, growth-focused companies, and more. In all, I own about 50 different investments, with little concentration in any of them.
When I was getting started, I made some common mistakes. In my early 20s, for example, I thought penny stocks were a smart way to make money and bought a few. Even when I started buying solid businesses, I didn't understand concepts like diversification and dollar-cost averaging. I built my knowledge and investment style over time.
