Many financial experts (those who aren’t compensated for getting you to invest a certain way) will tell you that if you are young and in the wealth accumulation phase of your life, to consider parking your money in a low-cost index fund, for example, Vanguard’s Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSAX).
Except in the situation of a new crisis,
investing in an ETF won't help you much. The entire market seems quite inflated, ETFs are one of the causes.
Especially with something like what you mentioned - it's basically only American large cap stocks (Apple, MS, Amazon, Google, FB) and by buying this fund you're basically expecting everything to grow infinitely. However, that may not be the case - not just for 6 months or a year but even 10 or 15 years.
When something bad happens with US economy or the dollar, what will be the consequence? I'm assuming from OP's naïve question
thnx, but what is 60% - USA large cap index funds and how can i invest on it.
that he is not a trading expert. So the fund will lose 30-50 % of it's value, he will panic sell at the bottom and half of his money will be gone.
Try to diversify - across asset categories as well as geographically. If you think a crisis is coming, don't hold stocks like this - I cannot advice specifically but holding
cash (even ruble possibly) may be a better idea. There are many other asset categories (bonds, metals, real estate, land, niche areas such as art).
There isn't some magical three letter ticker that will make you money no matter what, at least you need to know why you are buying it, having too much money isn't a legit reason. Do good research and try to find
value somewhere where others do not see it. In the end, if you understand it, you may make many times more from buying and selling rare LEGO sets than from buying "US large cap".
Also you can invest into your business and your education.
The debate of USD versus EUR is yet another story. Both currencies have their problems, American economy is fueled by dubious things, Eurozone won't be a nice place if the "slow part" (Italy,
Greece,
Spain) decides to separate from the "fast part" (
Germany, France).
