Remember a a whole week ago today when Republicans were gleefully anticipating and hoping for the next Great Depression all because the stock market dropped 2%?

That was fun!
 
Do some of you buy-hold/index/passive/diversify folks have any "fun" money for something a little more speculative? If so, what %?

For example, maybe you are a bogle-head and have your allocation of x% bonds(moneymarket) and x% broadUS and x% REIT or International, do you put aside 5 or 10% to actively trade anything like BTC or other speculative things, AI ETFs or India tech indexes?

Yes, think of a pyramid where the base is the boglehead 3 fund portfolio, then sector specific ETFs where I want more exposure, and individual stocks at the top.

Just curious, what % our outside of your 3 fund portfolio? And what sectors/stocks are you eyeballing?

I'd say my goal would be 60% boglehead, 25% targeted ETFs, 15% individual stocks. I need to do some rebalancing due to winners on the individual stocks (eg: NVDA, COST) but letting them ride out for now. VHT (Vanguard Healthcare) has been a good sector ETF, I also have VBR(small cap), VO (mid-cap), & VPU (public utilities). A lot of these sector funds have been in my portfolio for 10-15+ years - they are boring but have paid off over the long run. A criticism of VTI is that it is so heavily weighted toward the top 7/10 stocks...so these are a way to diversify more.
If you are just starting out - focus on the base of the pyramid - get the boglehead portfolio setup and then use dividends/new money coming in to continue building upwards.
