    $VT + call credit spreads on overhyped stocks is what I do

      VT is similar to VOO except it is a fund that tracks global stocks whereas VOO is only United States stocks. So, if you hold VOO then you are betting on US stocks specifically. VT just gets rid of the US bias by investing in world equities.

      Call credit spreads are a bit more complex, and I would only recommend looking into it if you are comfortable with the basics of valuation and options. Basically, you sell a call at a certain strike price. This gives the purchaser the option to buy the stock at that strike price at some point in the future. You pocket the premium that the purchaser paid you for this option. This opens you up to theoretically unlimited losses (because you would need to pay however much the stock is at the expiration date), so to cap losses you buy a call at a higher strike price. I look for overvalued stocks (Rivian, NKLA, AMC) and write these credit spreads for far out expiration dates because it hedges against market downturns, and I think the likelihood of these stocks continuing their upward trajectory for another year is unlikely

      Tldr: VT works fine without the call credit spread part.
