Reply to comment by Super_Mario_Luigi in Best S&P500 ETF? Does it really matter? by TheBigFish2004
I'm not saying avoid S&P 500. I'm saying to not use S&P 500 only funds, but to use broader funds that cover S&P 500 and more.
S&P 500 works, but for the same exact cost and difficulty, there are better options (US total market). And for only a slightly higher cost (and maybe 1 additional fund), even better than that (going global).

Like I said, it has worked so far, but it both:
-
Ignores the compensated small cap risk factor
-
Takes on the uncompensated single country risk factor
I don't see any reason to do either of these.
