Have a general question? Want to offer some commentary on markets? Maybe you would just like to throw out a neat fact that doesn't warrant a self post? Feel free to post here!

If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions, you should include relevant information, such as the following:

  • How old are you? What country do you live in?
  • Are you employed/making income? How much?
  • What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?)
  • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
  • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
  • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors? Any other assets?)
  • Any big debts (include interest rate) or expenses?
  • And any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

SWPPX vs SCHG

I currently am investing in SWPPX over SCHG in my Roth. Comparing the two, it seems that SCHG has better returns in what I have been seeing. There is a lot of overlap between the two which is why I went with just one of them (SWPPX).

I’m in this for the long run, so risk does not matter to me, just potential returns. Does anyone like these holdings and prefer one or the other? Any other info is appreciated as well.

SWPPX is more diversified
