In one of my previous video, I have explained why investing in the US marlet directly is better option than investing via the Indian Market. This is because of the RBI restrictions, the prices between the two exchanges doesn't match. Now if someone wants to invest in US what is the best way to get started, I.e. via the VOO.
So if you want to have just 1 US ETF in your portfolio then VOO is the best option in my opinion. In the past 1 week the US market is taking a good beating and what I am doing. Just buying the VOO. I am not investing much, just $10 whenever there the marlet gest down much like today. Today when I invested, the VOO was doen by more than 3%. And that's why I just bought the VOO with $10.

Till now I am not able to get full quantity of VOO, I have just 0.33 units of VOO. My average is around $533 whereas as 9f today the VOO is around $470. And that's why I am continuing investing so that I will get benefit from it in the future. See reciprocal taxes from the US government might dent ghe market, but in the longer run we will see market improving and whatever we are buying today will give us the profit in the longer run.
Also if you are a conservative investor like me then I would suggest to buy the ETF only and don't think about anything else. ETF is not 100% safe, but still if a stock goes down by more than 10%, the ETF will only go down by 3%. You cannot own a winning stock all the time, but you can own an ETF which is a basket of stock which contains both winning and losing stocks. But the winning stocks if outperform the losing stocks you will see considerable amount of profit.
