iShares Core S&P 500 ETF

Texas Pacific Land $TPL (+5.2%) will join the S&P 500 Index on November 26 and $CSPX (+0.89%) and will replace Marathon Oil $MRO (-0.66%) on November 26. This change comes as Marathon Oil is being acquired by ConocoPhillips, a deal that is expected to close on November 22nd12. Texas Pacific Land's stock rose following this announcement. In 2024, the stock has gained almost 200%. 🚀

🚨 Be careful when trading this week ahead of the quarterly figures on $NVDA (+1.51%) on Wednesday. Remember, Nvidia makes up 7% of the entire S&P500 $CSPX (+0.89%) so it drags the whole market down when it falls. Remember the last quarterly report? Strong earnings reported, but still failed to satisfy investors' insatiable greed and fell 10%, wiping out $279 billion.

I recommend not betting on quarterly numbers as it's like a coin flip and implied volatility loss is a real thing (ask me how I know, lol, made a lot of mistakes early on).

I will still open some positions where I see a good risk/reward ratio.

Welcome to my portfolio, savings plan has also been started. Nu Holdings is my third individual share in the portfolio alongside Alphabet and Hims&hers. By far my largest position remains the $CSPX (+0.89%)

Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce you to my simple but fine portfolio. First about me, I'm 21, a student and still live at home. I started investing almost six months ago and have now switched from my initial foolishness to a more proven concept.

I plan to build up my portfolio into old age and will increase my savings plan rate from €70 to €200 from next year onwards - possibly even higher with more. The $CSPX (+0.89%) weighting will be reduced to 20% in the future, while I'm not sure whether $VWCE (+0.85%) unsure whether I should keep it or replace it with the $K0MR (+0.97%) (despite the higher costs) or the $SPYI (+0.9%) which seems attractive mainly because of the broader diversification. $VWCE (+0.85%) seems attractive.

I realize at the end of the day that this doesn't make the roast any fatter, nevertheless I would appreciate your opinions and thanks to anyone who has read through this.

Thank you!

I currently invest 60% of my savings plan in the $CSPX (+0.89%) and 40% in the $EXSA (+0.45%) . Now, after Trump's election victory and possible punitive tariffs on European products, I am considering whether a switch to 70% S&P 500 and 30% Euro Stoxx 600 would make sense in order to increase returns. What do you think - could a higher proportion of the US market currently bring a better return?

Hi guys I have a question regarding an ETF. Please no unnecessary comments but factual information and criticism. I am still learning and of course have to question some things and there are some people here with experience and good knowledge :). So I invest monthly in the $CSPX (+0.89%) and I recently heard about this one $DBPG (+1.54%) . Double the return for the same risk? I mean I'm betting on the S&P going up in the long run anyway so what's the catch? Why not switch from the normal S&P? There is also a clear difference in the benchmark.

Hello everyone.

Person: I am in my mid-21s and have been on the stock market since April 2024. Earn 2.3k net (accountant with further training next year to become a business administrator)

+ 520 euros part-time job in the stable and on the tractor with my aunt since I was 14 and still live at home.

History:

I was already at Scalable in 2022, burned 100 euros in penny stocks and put 50 euros in Bitcoin, but took it out again straight away at around 20k. After that, the stock market was quiet again until April 24 (if you had been more interested back then...many people probably think so).

Well... nevertheless, I was fired up for the stock market and went full throttle straight away. Since I had done a lot of "crap" with my money before (car for 25k + 5k burned at tipico with the money I earned during my training and on the side), this was a turning point where I wanted to be more frugal.

I invested the rest of the money accordingly.

Investing:

In the beginning, I was so extremely curious that I read all the media I could get my hands on. In addition, I sometimes asked questions 20 times, which is why many people were annoyed with me. I'm sorry about that. It was curiosity and the desire to invest well that drove me.

As I found the dividend strategy interesting, I sometimes had savings plans for 30 shares with 10-20 euros (I felt I always wanted a new one that I found exciting and rediscovered).

At some point it became too much for me and the amounts were too small, so I sold them all.... except for Nvidia. I stuck with the $SPYI (+0.9%) ACWI IMI and the $CSNDX (+0.84%) as I am convinced of the future returns. However, as this would be "too boring" for me, I have decided to add a handful of shares in the long term when a very good opportunity arises. So after a long time it was $ASML (+3.19%) that has prevailed. With the hope of achieving good long-term returns after a major correction.

$BTC (+1.11%) was a topic that I kept my hands off for ages because I never understood it...I still haven't got that 100% now, but I see it as a good alternative and I'm behind it.

The $CSPX (+0.89%) S&P 500 is saved to have equity for a house in 10 years. That's why I look at it separately.

The weighting of equities, ETFs and cryptos is currently as I had planned.

I invest €500 a month in the S&P 500

800€ in the ACWI IMI

In the NASDAQ 100 100€

In Bitcoin 100€

I also save 50 euros separately with TR in the $IWDA (+0.99%) for my parents' pension in 10 years to give something back as a thank you and €100 in the $VWRL (+0.87%) which is intended for the pension. (Another €220 goes into Rürup and the insurance company's private pension plan).

I also currently have Nvidia there with €2900, which will soon be liquidated and deposited at TR with interest as a nest egg.

Any money that is left over will either be divided up or used to buy something.

I've already reached my annual target of €15,000, which makes me pretty happy. The next step is €35,000 by the end of 2025.

The deposit with Scalable + Bitcoin is intended to last forever, in case I can manage without touching it with my family, children, house, etc.

Thank you very much!

Since I don't want to speculate shortly before the US presidential election, this time I bluntly put my monthly savings amount into the S+P 500...

$CSPX (+0.89%)

Hey guys,

I have a question about the spreads on the ETF (S&P 500, A0YEDG)

When the NASDAQ exchange is open (15:30-23:00 I believe) I have a spread of 20 cents. Outside opening hours I have a spread of 10 cents.

So far I have only invested in ACWI and MSCI WORLD and there it is normally considerably less, about 3-5 cents difference.

My question is this normal for the ETF? When do you buy in order to have the lowest possible spreads?

Greetings

Capital magazine tested 39 robo-advisors in the period June 22 - June 24. None of them were able to beat the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 or MSCI World in this period. ETFs performed much better and are significantly cheaper. These advisors performed similarly poorly in the last test.

For comparison (12-month average June 22 - June 24)

+23.8% Nasdaq 100

+17.1% MSCI World

+14.2% S&P 500

Many advisors were not even able to beat inflation during the test period. Big promises, high fees and nothing behind them. ETFs win.
