Hey all, hope everyone is well. I’ve been an inactive investor for about 2 years now. By which I mean I just basically set it and forget after I buy. I’ve never done any trading as I am only 20 and I am looking for long term returns. My portfolio is majority VTI as well as 2 other ETFs. Lately though will all the noise in the market around inflation and potential “mini-recession”, I have been researching and looking at some good ETFs to pick up to hedge some of the inflation/poor economy over the next 5 to 8+ years. Today I picked up XLE (Energy sector fund), VNQ (real estate fund) and XLF (financials sector fund). I know Reddit is not going to be my main source of advice but I did want to hear any advice anyone has on here? What do you think some good ETFs would be for the next 3 years? Any thoughts on the ETFs I picked up today. I’ve been researching for the past few weeks and have made a list but any new picks or ideas I would greatly appreciate. Also I should mention that I only buy ETFs, I plan on eventually buying individual stocks once I accumulate more capital and am able to focus a bit more time into the market. And lastly, I know the economy could easily recover and inflation may be slowed down significantly, as nobody can predict the market but I am just looking to trade right now based off what I have noticed may happen in the coming 3 years.
*Note: I know I said good ETFs for the next 3 years, I know that’s a really short time frame. I’m not looking to cash out or make huge gains, I mainly just want a fund that hopefully won’t decrease too much in value. Any money I make on investments in those next few years I would literally just reinvest back into my portfolio if I even decide to sell them.
