I think that the whole stock market is more powerful than all the large cap stocks in the s&p 500.

This is a long term hold. From 1978 to 2008 the dow jones has had an average gain of 14%. I think you should buy this for your Roth IRA and not worry about bonds or securities or anything of the like. Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is a good buy, and Vanguard is a good company with good managers.

A great time to buy into VTI --- at a 12-year low in the DJIA and S&P :D

Low, low fees, fully-diverse US fund. Enough small caps to edge the the SP500.

We won't be in the toilet forever. That's all I can say for VTI right now. Probably will go lower before it reverses course, but once it does this is a great vehicle to enjoy the ride. LOW cost too, which means more bread in your product when it happens.

I believe VTI will for the most part follow the market of the next year or so.

Whole Market is getting killed right now - stay away for a bit. However this is great to own long term. Would buy as much as possible once it drops even lower.

The Vanguard Total Stock Market IS the stock market... Unfortunately, with CAPS, we are rewarded only for beating the market (as we should be, as are our goals).
VTI is a good recommendation if you believe the US economy and US stock markets are on an ever increasing trend line.

Unless you think we'll soon all be gathering nuts to horde in a post apocalyptic world, buying the market at these levels will pay off in the long term. Now, as the worst seems near, is when you 'buy low' to later 'sell high'. This is a great way to diversify your portfolio. While you get some poor performers, you get all the top performers. When someone says they own 'such and such' stock and made a killing, you can say you own it too, because you own them all! This ETF also has an ultra low expense ratio of .07%. You don't buy low at 52wk highs. Expect modest returns with this ETF, but overall long term gains. Be patient.

Nice ETF taht includes the total US market. Like another user below, I wish we could pick the option of 'matching' the SP500 since this ETF will basically do just that. No frills way of entering into the stock market, though.
sidenote: an ETF that held the entire US and Foriegn markets in a single fund would be sweet..come on, Vanguard!

Vangaurd has good ETFs, but I just don't see how a broad market ETF will out perform the S&P500 over the long run.
