If I put 5,000 or 10,000 into some Vanguard, just set it and forget it for 10+ years, is it possible I lose all my money?
Posted 2026-07-17T02:30:10, updated 2026-07-17T03:11:06 19 0.6808 investing

"into some Vanguard" is not an investment. Can you please be more specific? If you're talking about a broad based index fund, the chances of it going to zero are virtually nil. Something like VT, VTI, or VOO.

  • If I look at how VTI performed, it went up about 50%, and I did slightly better than that overall with XOM because of continually buying when it was down.

  • I wouldn't go with BND at your age; you have plenty of time to ride out the ups and downs of growth equities.
  • VXUS and FZILX underperform VTI and FZROX in the long run.
  • The reason for this is the US has the largest economy and attracts the most capital investment (which helps to perpetuate the cycle).
  • Also most of the leading US companies operate on a global scale, so it's not as though you only invested in one domestic economy.
  • My goal in investment is to grow my net worth as much as possible by making selections that have a proven track record; everything else (diversity) is secondary.

  • It's about as simple an investment as you can make - a bet on the US economy long term.
  • It's an investment so it can lose value but over any long term period (think 10+ years) it will make you money.
  • Not as broad as VTI but some people prefer concentration in the larger companies.
  • The rest leave in a high yield savings account.
  • Places like SoFi, American Express and many others offer rates over 3% for cash just sitting there.

  • The appeal of Vanguard index funds are that they passively track the market (the index part) and charge a very low annual expense ratio since there isn't a lot of overhead when compared to an actively managed fund.
  • A lot of other firms offer similar products at similar or lower expense ratios so Vanguard isn't the only game in town for passive investing nowadays.
  • There have been Vanguard funds that lost money and some funds that have closed due to failure to attract investors or performance issues.
  • Those were more on the active side of the house.
  • In order for VTI or VOO to go to zero, there would need to be some global cataclysm to wipe out the US economy and all industrial output.

  • I'd highly recommend moving your savings into one of those index funds and then if you want to branch out to other things you can always do that later (though on r/Bogleheads people will probably just say stick with the index fund which I agree with.
  • 99% of my investments are in target date funds or index-based ETFs).
  • Depending on how your Coca-Cola stock was invested and when (was it a taxable brokerage account?)
  • then just be mindful of the capital gains tax on sale, but I'd highly recommend not investing in a single stock going forward and if the taxes aren't too high sell all you have in Coca-Cola

  • So I feel like it is disingenuous to say "these ETFs will make you a ton of money" because I can't guarantee that at all, but I also don't think it is near the same risk of gambling or something.
  • My personal opinion is these will continue to do well.
  • I like their strategies, they are fairly diverse, have good past performance (though everything has gone up a ton so less certain how they do in an actual bear market), and they generally hold companies I like.
  • in terms of risk from least to worst my rankings would be: VOO and VTI, the ETFs like the ones I mentioned, individual stocks.
  • I would touch crypto or options or anything like that even if it can be tempting, these are basically gambling.

You're right to point out that that kind of feels like "luck", because it's not actually investing a...

  • The subtle difference is that investing involves knowing the risk parameters of what you're putting your money into, and speculating is disregarding that and gambling with the hopes of seeing extreme returns.
  • As a young person you've unfortunately been inundated with pictures and videos of people YOLOing entire student loan checks on options and getting very lucky.
  • The vast majority if retail traders who speculate consistently lose, and then they either post about it on reddit for a consolation prize while they think about how to hide their losses from their partners.
  • Don't starve yourself or skip out on enjoying the finer things in life when you're young, but do relentlessly set aside a portion of whatever you make and put it into a low-cost index fund (as others have been saying), like VTI through Vanguard.
  • By the time you're 30 you'll be damn glad you did so, and while you're shopping for houses your friends will wonder if you're secretly a trust fund baby.

  • Start with a high yield savings account or open a brokerage with vanguard, fidelity, schwab or similar reputable company for your country and invest in a money market like SWVXX on Schwab, treasury bonds like SGOV, or similar.
  • Popular assets typically are etfs that track indexes like the S&P500 SPYM, Nasdaq 100 QNDX, total world index VTI, and similar.
  • Some brokerages support automation like Schwab and their S&P500 SWPPX mutual funds can invest automatically on a weekly schedule so you have more time to focus on income and life.

  • They kept going up and up and up, which made it seem stupid to sell, but it was basically 100% of my net worth at the time.
  • My family moved here from a collapsed USSR country, and where rapid "democratization" gave everyone stock options of the formerly public companies they were a part of and people that eventually became oligarchs tricked everyone into selling their "stock options" for cheap.
  • * VT, VTI, VXUS goes down significantly, the entire world's market's are fucked up and there is nothing I can do about it and as long as I have the cash I need on hand I can wait it out.
  • Owning a single stock feels suddenly makes it personal, emotional.
  • Buying into a system allows you to absolve yourself of emotional consequences (unless you truly invest the money that you still need soon).

  • He was fully retired, 75 years old, and living on dividends, social security, and pension.
  • His guidance, which made sense to me, was towards dividend paying reliable stocks of companies that we're going to fail.
  • He told tales of stocks he "couldn't afford to sell due to gains/tax" and the neat companies he had invested in (BGS) that had done so well.
  • Lesson/change #4: Instead of focusing on picking individual stocks, using broad index funds is easier and quite successful.
  • A few big winner individual stocks and a few more funds (including SGOV) round out my top 10 holdings.

  • Sure, put most of your portfolio in indexes and don't chase trends, but hell yes you should absolutely play with a portion.
  • For example, I bought $1000 of Palantir at around $36 per share; when it got to $180 per share I sold all but one share of it and rolled the profits into VTI.
  • If you're not reckless you can use individual stocks to fuel your portfolio growth.
  • Sometimes I lose...I once bought $1000 of a pot stock when that was a thing around 2011-2013.
  • Point is that it's okay to place risky bets as long as you don't risk more than you can afford to lose.
