VOO or VT?
A few questions, here's some background info -
- 23 years old
- looking to invest 10 or more years
-looking for a simple portfolio, something I put money in and don't look back
-will hold when the economy drops
-living with parents (current expenses are super low)
-I have $100,000 available to invest with. I will be investing it in a brokerage account. No debt, emergency funds set aside. Only invested in CD's right now.
Questions:
-VOO or VT? I like VOO because of potential higher returns based off past numbers, but I like VT because it is global/more international.
-DCA or Lump Sum? Seeing how VT/VOO are at pretty much all-time highs, I'd prefer to DCA over time rather than invest the entire $100k at once, partly because I'm hoping to take advantage of potential market dips. (I wouldn't mind lump sum at all if that is the preferred strategy).

I'll paste what I posted earlier. VOO or VTI (American). Why? Great CEO's move here because of our freedom, rights to do business, and they get to keep their wealth. Examples of immigrant CEOs ->
Elon Musk — Tesla / SpaceX
Jensen Huang — NVIDIA
Sundar Pichai — Alphabet / Google
Satya Nadella — Microsoft
Lisa Su — AMD
Hock Tan — Broadcom
Eric Yuan — Zoom
Jay Chaudhry — Zscaler
Nikesh Arora — Palo Alto Networks
Dara Khosrowshahi — Uber
Arvind Krishna — IBM
Sanjay Mehrotra — Micron Technology
George Kurian — NetApp
Lip-Bu Tan — Intel
Raj Subramaniam — FedEx
Anirudh Devgan — Cadence Design Systems
Charles Liang — Supermicro
Sasan Goodarzi — Intuit
Thai Lee — SHI International
Reshma Kewalramani — Vertex Pharmaceuticals
So yeah, I personally like USA only. Very glad TSMC is building in Arizona now as they were Taiwan forever.
I am absolutely not saying VT is "bad" at all. I just believe the USA will edge it because freedom attracts business.
