#31: The Finance Flash Go Podcast | Important Topics About Money | VTSAX
Welcome to another episode of the Finance Flash Go! podcast. On this episode, we’ll talk about VTSAX. Confused? Well, tune in!
VTSAX is an index fund offered through the brokerage Vanguard.
But before we even get into that, a refresher on stocks and index funds.
Over the long term, the overall stock market has always gone up. If you put money in the overall stock market at any point in history and just did nothing and kept it there for 20 years, you would have made a lot of money. This is largely what you are doing by investing in broadly diversified index funds. For example, the brokerage Vanguard (my favorite for its low costs and ease of use) has an index fund of every stock in the entire U.S. stock market, VTSAX. Buy that index fund and you own the next Enron, but you also own the next Apple. And everything in between. This is a safe bet. Over time, you will enact a system of rebalancing your accounts to ensure you always buy low, sell high, and profit from the margin.
VTSAX is an index fund representative of the entire US stock market. It is often considered the ultimate index fund as it is broadly diversified and built for the long-term.
It’s a great way to invest your money.
