📈 VTI 같은 ETF가 앞으로도 계속 오를 수 있을까요?

There have certainly been periods of slow growth in the past, and I’m sure there will be periods of slow growth in the future. With 42 years to retirement you’re on a very long timeline, so slow and steady, consistent contributions, and you can expect the average market return just like everybody else.

That is too far away to know for sure. If the world at some point becomes a post-apocalyptic wasteland from nuclear war there is not some magical investment you could make to preserve a 2026 lifestyle. But, that's life. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow and it would have an even bigger impact on your future.

You have to go with the best bet at any given time. I think the best bet is that almost regardless of what happens, people who have more financial assets will be better off than those with less.

If we want to somehow try to map political turbulence to your 40-60 year investment horizon, you would actually end up better off if stocks are low for the next couple of decades and then make a big comeback to return to historical norms.

Impossible to know. Just remember that stock returns have sucked for a LONG period before in US history. Adjusted for inflation, the stock market had a zero percent return from 1966 until the early 90s. Imagine taking 26 years to sustainably get past your previous all time high.

index funds is fine for most people if you want to work for the next 41 years....

I have a small portion of my portfolio in index funds, but majority of it is in stocks....

it was the other away around until I got more comfortable trading stocks and risk

usa is the merchant of the world, no matter what anyone says, everyone wants to do business in usa, and work in usa

my parents are immigrants, america is the easiest place to make money in the world, hands down no contest, this will not change in the future,

you should probably worry less about macro, worry more about your current income/skills to make more income, at end of the day stock market only goes up, and if your contributing monthly, all your doing is averaging down/up and building up wealth

also just some advice, try and do 80-90% index funds and 10-20% stocks you research and think will do well, once you get a better handle on trading stocks, you can allocate more into stocks and further your knowledge of trading also, swing trading and options etc

Sounds like you don’t have any risk aversion even with 41 years to retirement. Real estate might be your calling.

The point of buying index funds is you don’t have to worry about these things. You’re buying a piece of all corporations worldwide. If the US stock market implodes, we’ll have bigger issues to worry about

You gotta check on a crystal ball 😂

You’ve asked the question in the wrong space to get an unbiased answer, in my opinion. I hope you get logical and unbiased responses, sir. Cheers
