Do you guys diversify your ETFs?

Advice Request

So I have some extra cash leftover I want to put into ETF investments and was planning on buying into about 3 (PGX, SPYD, SPHD) based on high Div/Yield, but part of me is wondering if I should just buy into one since ETFs are essentially diversifying in and of itself. What are your guys’ thoughts?

I think diversification is vital but it’s your preference. An S&P500 ETF will serve you right or even a Total US Market one.

I personally invest in a Tech ETF, S&P500 and a Small Cap ETF.

It's good to add high yield dividend ETFS like VYM and DGRO

Yes. I use ETF’s not only for broad market exposure, but also to get more exposure to specific sectors and styles. About 20% of my portfolio is split between VGT, FTXL, and QTEC for the past few months and it’s paying off. Obviously I’m bullish on tech. My decision to pick ETF’s for this follows an attempt to trade a few of the big tech names and not having great luck.

S&P 500, small cap, momentum, international and emerging funds are all I have.
