You forgot SPMO

pariszachouris :

I am sure you have heard "past returns do not guarantee future returns". There is a good reason they say it.

Mom :

Where is FSELX

aman ali amri :

You forgot qtum

riichlane999 :

My 2 largest holdings are SOXX & XLK

Timmy3Tone :

top in past yes. next year? who knows. right now, id at a MINIMUM be putting 50 % into energy and infrastructure ETFS alongside technology ETFs. Also, check the overlapping. Be sure you're getting true diversification. MLPX is one I would go with alongside VOO. Virtually zero overlap. Do your own research. I think if you do it will make sense.

mrbrantly :

bobebrown2117 :

riichlane999 :

I really like VFLO Victory Shares Large-cap/Mid-cap ETF. 1 yr. return 50% for an ETF. Very nice! It pairs well with SMH, SOXX or XLK, since it doesn’t duplicate all of the typical tech like NVDA, APPL, MSFT, and so on.

Alexander سکندر :

FTEC?

A few red flags: * There is no “as of” date. Five-year returns change daily. Current official figures do not match several numbers shown. For example, SMH reported a 33.87% five-year annualized return as of April 30, 2026, not 40.89%, while VTI reported 12.89% as of May 31. * It is not even ranked correctly. SCHG at 13.93% is placed below funds showing 13.24% and 13.63%. * Half the list consists of near-duplicates: * QQQ and QQQM track the same Nasdaq-100. * IVV, VOO, and SPYM track the S&P 500. * GLD and IAU both track physical gold. * VUG, SCHG, SPYG, IVW, and IWF are variations of large-cap growth. * ITOT and VTI are essentially total-market competitors. * It shows reward without showing risk. SMH currently holds only about 26 positions, with nearly 23% in Nvidia alone. That tremendous performance came with tremendous concentration.
