Best growth investment ETF for today's market
XLG by far
top 50 largest cap stocks in the SP500, all US oligopolies and world dominate players in most if not all sectors. plenty diversified, and plenty concentrated to deliver superb earnings growth. . not so much with dividends but with revenue and earnings growth along with EPS growing stock buybacks brought to you by python portfolio strategy backtesting. former finance guy |

Although it is not an ETF I have no complaints about the performance of the shares of NVDA I purchased in 2022 nor of the BRK I bought in the middle 1980s.
The ETFs VGT and VOO have done well over the last few years, too. Again, no complaints.

nice purchases . . . As far as VOO goes, which is the SP500, which is the same as SPY ETF from another vendor, XLG has beaten the VOO/SPY since 2015 on an annual basis, but more importantly on a CAGR as well . . . which is why I made the statement I did, but not by alot, but enough to have it show up on the portfolio performance as beating the SP500 |

Never mind
I just deleted my rather extensive questioning of Python and why I am wondering why it is free. I do not have time to look into this further right now. Boomer

I suppose that diversification is officially overrated.
I recently moved some funds into SPYV(Value) which is trailing SPY. Maybe someday the other 99% of the market will recover, The Japanese market is now near the high it set in 1989. |

and believe me, its hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and its very slow going for me because the python syntax is so different than any other programming language I have ever used. . . . taken about 4-5 months to get the data downloaded from various sites and loaded into my SQL server so I can actually do something with the data. . So now I have to learn how to use machine learning to find the signals, which is also a python package, and after looking at other people's scripts, i need another course with private tutors and as many cheat sheets as possible! |

a) you have enough b) you have had enough I have had enough, but I don't have enough, so trying to maximize the money i do have is the reason for the programming quest. XLG filled with the top 50 stocks is not really HIGH growth, but slow and steady GDP + growth, considering that they only give 1%+ in dividends, you could also say there is some value in there as well. In other words, can i make an extra 5-10K a year to pay for extra travel . . |
