SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

What ETFs do you have in your portfolio? I'm going DCA $SPY and $^NDX, but I'd like to add some European or even Asian ones might be interesting.

The S&P 493 index, the S&P 500 index excluding the 7 largest technology stocks, is up just 4% this year. $SPY

While the S&P 7, also known as the 7 largest companies in the S&P 500, rose 52%.

Taken together, the S&P 500 index as a whole is up 13% this year.

The seven largest stocks in the S&P 500 now account for a whopping 34% of the value of the entire index.

Without these 7 stocks...

The SP500 index is up over 14% for the year, which is very respectable. The $SPY is up this year mainly due to technology stocks, which are up tens of % this year and some are even up over 100%, such as $NVDA or $META. The SP500 is rising this year mainly thanks to $AAPL, $MSFT, $NVDA, $META, $AMZN and $GOOGL. However, the question is whether these technology stocks will...

Investors, what ETFs are in your portfolio and how much of your portfolio is ETFs?

I always buy a portion of $SPY at the beginning of the month, which makes up about 40% of my portfolio, and I still buy a portion of $^NDX, which...

Investors, what stocks and ETFs have you bought or sold recently and what stocks are you looking to buy or sell?

I like every month bought $SPY, $MO and $CVSandthis week I still bought part of $ASML stock. I'm not selling anything yet but next week I plan to sell off part of $MMM stock and otherwise hoard cash for any dips.

Investors, what stocks or ETFs have you bought recently and do you plan to buy any stocks in the near future?

I was buying $SPY, $^NDX and $MO at the beginning of the month. I still plan to buy shares of $O in the next week.

It's the start of a new month, so I'd like to ask you what stocks or ETFs you plan to buy this month.

I, like every month, will be buying $SPY and $^NDX. Alternatively, I would like to buy $CVS, $MMM and $MO.

Japan has the % best performing stock market this year, the UK has the % worst performing stock market this year. $SPY in second position. Do we have any investors in the Japanese markets here? :)

The markets are giving us a clear sign to start the new week... red, technology stocks are down the most, $^NDX -1.36% trailed by $SPY with -0.45% and $^DJI roughly at zero with -0.04%, the following decline will accompany this entire trading week, possibly beyond. Or will sentiment in the markets reverse? How do you investors see it?

Since Friday, we have not moved anywhere on the $SPY and are stuck in a sideways trend below significant resistance while the tech $QQQ fell 1.7% yesterday

Technology stocks took a hammer to the head yesterday. It will be interesting to see where the market decides to move. Which way do you lean?

For me, a correction wouldn't hurt, but this market is still very much in hype, so I...

Like gentlemen and ladies. Growths from the beginning of 2023... 🤑 Do you have any? 🥂

NVIDIA $NVDA: +101%, Facebook $META: +98%, AMD $AMD: +57%, Tesla $TSLA: +37%, Amazon $AMZN: +35%, Google $GOOGL: +35%, Apple $AAPL: +33%, Microsoft $MSFT: +31%, Nasdaq 100 $QQ: +23%, S&P 500 $SPY: +8%.

So far, the markets are calm. Crypto has slid down, but oil has jumped up. Meanwhile, the dollar is strengthening nicely. Europe's DAX is in the balance, as is America.

It's a difficult time for investors and traders. We're in a market squeeze and when one side wins, it's going to be a ride.

I wouldn't be surprised if we retraced that rise on Friday, but if we go up, I won't be...
