VOO ETF Hits New Highs: Is Now the Time to Buy or Hold?

Hello Investors!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend! This week is a very short week because it is the 4th of July. I did not expect the markets to take a turn and go up because of what happened between the US, Iran, and Israeli. I was expecting the markets to not like what was happening because it could mean war for us, but it turned out to be ok for now. Investors still need to pay attention to what is happening because it could change in just one day. This coming week could be really good for the stock market because it is starting to hit new record highs.

This week I was able to just buy three Nvidia shares because that stock has been going up lately due to new AI talks and now investors are starting to put money into AI again. I was not able to purchase my one VOO share because that ETF has been very popular lately. VOO has also hit their new high, so that means that ETFs are doing very good. I really cannot believe that my shares in VOO are getting closer and closer to my 100 goal. Nvidia still needs a bit more shares before I complete it, but my goals are looking very good for this year. As always, keep on sticking to your goals and you will have a good retirement.

Until next time…Have a wonderful week and remember it is never too late to start investing!
