    Man. I mean I know I’m pathetic in absolutely every way, but it hurts to read that. I have 2 ETFs (vanguard sp500 and emerging markets) and a us bond that I use as a secondary savings account and all they do is lose and occasionally stay flat…

        It could be the selection of stocks vanguard chose to be part of that ETF that are duds I guess :/

          No, if it’s the s&p500 ETF (VOO in the usa, VUSA in UK) it has the stocks from the s&p500, they didn’t choose anything. It’s just the 500 biggest companies in the US (roughly). Either you don’t have that, or something else is going very wrong.

          What are the actual ticker symbols of your investments? Agree with the other user that something isn’t adding up here. You’re likely not invested in what you think you are

      I’m in on VanEck semi conductor etf and they’re up 70% for the year :-/

      Another etf called WUGI that deals with 5G relates stocks is up about 60%. Those are the two etf’s I have the most in.
