Best ETFs

Hey! I’m in high school and I just earned ~3000$. I’d like to invest this money in ETFs instead of letting it sit on a bank account....Which are, according to you, the best ETFs out there? I’d like to spend half the money on a risky ETF and the other half on a stable ETF...

VOO - 100% Honestly I wished I didn't think about it too much when I was in college - dollar neutral this etf and just ride it out long term. Just track the S&P and get on that passive investing hype train.

Also keep in mind, the S&P rebalances quarterly - so all the bad companies are dropped in replace of a good one (whatever the methodology they use). So you get a free "active management" on just tracking the S&P.

Trying to beat the market is pointless -

  1. Have pay up the transaction cost to trade in and out
  2. No signals/alpha, No access to dark liquidity, etc
