They look like twins. They're NOT. $VOO = the 500 biggest US companies. $VTI = those 500 PLUS about 3,000 smaller ones. Same Vanguard. Same 0.03% fee. Nearly identical returns. Those extra 3,000? Tiny names that barely move the needle. $VOO people say $VTI is just $VOO with extra steps. 😂 But the $VTI crowd says THAT'S the whole point. When small caps finally run, they catch the wave & $VOO doesn't. I'm team $VOO . Simple. Clean. I know exactly what I own. Your next $1,000 can only go to ONE. Which one? Where do you stand? 👀

Not a fan of overdiversification AKA di-WORSE-sification. And on a simple back test $VOO beats $VTI. So you're owning more to get less. I know, "not indicative of future returns", blah blah blah. But there has to be some proof of concept first.

The top 500 are market cap weighted. When tech pulls back for ANY reason those extra small companies got my back
