I would try to diversify a bit more with something like VXUS. If you want the large tech concentration, that is fine but if you want to dilute it you could do something like IJS.

There is no real way to know. I don’t think age has anything to do with it really. Adding VXUS would diversify you. Instead of holding every public US company, you would hold essentially every public company in the world. No way to know if US will continue to outperform foreign or not.

Is it a good idea to have VTI and QQQ as one tracks more heavily tech and VTI tracks large mid and small on NYSE

So I should just keep VTI maybe ever raise the allocation % and add what else?

Look into BITO

How is that better than GBTC?

I had similar allocation to yours when I was your age. Now in my 40s and with a hot market decided to up the risk a bit. I am 70% individual stocks, rest allocated across VTI, VXUS, BND. Take some risk while u are young. Take advantage of the big solid trends ( cloud, genomics,, etc)

I just want to know what index funds I should pick along with individual stocks
