How many of you are long term holders of index funds? I started investing in VTI \~2018 (around the $180 mark) after reading one of Jack Bogle’s books. I literally have everything in VTI and so far my unrealized gains are coming in at 57.4%.
The one quote from Jack Bogle that keeps me going is “Don’t look for the needle in the haystack. Buy the haystack!”.
However, there is one quote from Warren Buffet that keeps me on edge “If something seems too good to be true, then it most likely is”.
A 57% return seems too good to be true, but it plays well into all the studies around consistent investment into index funds without micromanaging your portfolio.
Should I ever cash out and pour it into something else or just stick to the plan and keep going?
Thoughts?
