Long Term Stocks

Interesting article.

The indexes/ETFs I follow are: DIA, IWC, IJR, IJH, QQQ, RSP, SPY, IWM. I also follow NOBL, the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats' ETF which is owned by one of my sons. (He bought it without asking me. NOBL did great during Covid, but not so great afterward).

I've seen articles praising equal weight ETFs like RSP but never bought one. I fall back on the advice John Bogle (1929 - 2019) gave in a magazine article before he died, that sticking with a cheap, plain jane S&P 500 ETF is likely to be the best course of action over the long run. I've never gone wrong taking John Bogle's advice.

I don't own any small cap ETFs such as IJR or IWC because i don't want to own small caps if the SHTF. Capital preservation is important to me.
