VOO heads into next week with Nvidia’s earnings on November 17 firmly in focus, particularly with the company reporting without Jensen Huang at the helm for the first time. This adds another layer of uncertainty to an already jittery AI trade. Given Nvidia’s outsized weight in VOO, any sharp reaction to its results could have a meaningful impact on the ETF. I’m watching closely to see whether strong earnings and guidance can restore confidence in the AI trade, or whether leadership uncertainty will overshadow the fundamentals.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO is opening slightly higher today, with Nvidia staging a recovery after the initial market-clearing reaction to Jensen Huang’s resignation. The leadership shock had rattled the AI trade, but investors appear to be looking past the immediate uncertainty, with strength in other chipmakers and tech heavyweights helping to support the broader market. I’m encouraged by the rebound, although Nvidia’s situation remains a source of uncertainty. Still holding VOO and looking to build my position

VOO is catching a lift as the AI trade roars back, driving the S&P 500 higher. After the recent volatility, the rebound is a reminder that sentiment around AI remains a major market driver. I am looking to add to my position, using the recovery as a chance to build my VOO holdings gradually rather than trying to time every market swing.

VOO opened lower today as October CPI came in hotter than expected, with headline inflation rising 0.4% MoM and core CPI up 0.3%. This is particularly concerning given Fed Governor Christopher Waller’s warning that a 50bps hike should be considered if inflation remains elevated. It reinforces fears that the Fed may be falling behind the curve, leaving markets to contend with a more aggressive tightening path.

VOO is heading into the week on a stronger footing, with the rebound likely helped by an unwinding of oversold positions following last week’s tech selloff. Still, I’m not entirely convinced the worst is over. Nvidia’s latest slide following the controversy surrounding Jensen Huang is another reminder of how quickly sentiment can turn, particularly when the AI trade is already under scrutiny. While the weakness appears relatively stock-specific for now, I’ll be watching whether the broader market can sustain its recovery. Staying invested, but keeping some caution.

VOO bounced back on Friday after Thursday’s brutal sell-off, although the recovery only clawed back part of the losses. One thing worth remembering is that research has shown the market’s best days often cluster around its worst days, making it easy to miss sharp rebounds if you sit on the sidelines. It’s a good reminder for me not to let fear take over. Next time we see this kind of weakness, I’ll remind myself to buy rather than hesitate.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

A bloodbath for VOO, down almost 5% as investors turn increasingly cautious about the AI trade following the Democratic sweep and renewed concerns over the regulatory and fiscal outlook. Sentiment has clearly soured, but historically, periods of extreme fear can also present opportunities. I’m not rushing in just yet, but may look to add to my position if weakness persists. As always, timing the bottom is impossible, but I’d rather accumulate during periods of fear than chase the rally.

VOO rebounded strongly following the sweeping midterm victory, with markets seemingly taking comfort that divided government could ease fiscal concerns. Historically, US equities have also tended to perform well in the 12 months following midterm elections, as political uncertainty fades and markets look ahead. This reinforces my belief that staying invested matters. Rebounds can happen sharply and unexpectedly, and you want to be in the market when they do rather than wait endlessly for the perfect entry.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO opened higher as US midterm polls got underway, with investors positioning ahead of a potentially market-moving result. The initial optimism is encouraging, but I expect volatility to pick up as results come in. The key question is whether Republicans can retain control of Congress against current expectations. I’m staying invested but keeping some room to add on weakness if election uncertainty triggers a deeper pullback.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO opened higher today as oil prices tumbled, offering some relief to inflation concerns and lifting risk appetite. However, the bigger uncertainty remains the US midterms. A surprise Republican sweep, which would preserve unified Republican control of Congress, could trigger a negative market reaction. I’m staying cautious into the results and will be watching closely for opportunities to add on any pullback.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

Looking ahead, the US midterms could bring another bout of volatility as policy uncertainty and shifting market expectations weigh on sentiment. I’m prepared for some near-term turbulence and would consider adding to my VOO position if we see a deeper pullback. I’m also looking at the S&P 500 equal-weight ETF as a way to diversify beyond the mega-cap names and gain broader exposure across the market.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO fell more than 1% today as an AI-led selloff dragged down broader market sentiment. Investors are increasingly questioning whether the hyperscalers’ massive AI spending will generate returns quickly enough to justify the investment. While the near-term pressure could persist, I’m not too concerned about the longer-term AI story. In fact, further weakness would be an opportunity for me to add to my VOO position and accumulate at better levels.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO barely in the green today, with investors likely staying cautious ahead of the Fed’s rate decision and earnings from Alphabet and Microsoft after the close. Both are key tests for the AI trade, as the market looks for evidence that heavy AI spending is translating into returns. I’m keeping a close eye on how Big Tech earnings shape broader market sentiment before deciding my next move

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

VOO is looking good as oil prices ease and broader market sentiment improves. Lower oil prices could help take some pressure off inflation expectations and bond yields, giving equities room to move higher. I’m staying invested and continuing to build my position, although I’ll be watching whether the pullback in oil is sustained before getting too optimistic. For now, the improving backdrop is encouraging for my long-term S&P 500 exposure.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

The AI trade is gaining ground again, with reports of Anthropic preparing for an IPO adding to optimism and lifting the S&P 500, and of course, VOO. The listing puts the spotlight back on AI’s commercial potential, although investors still need to see whether massive spending can translate into sustainable returns. I’m continuing to build my position for the long term, while watching this week’s mega-cap earnings for confirmation that the AI rally has more room to run.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

Context: VOO ended the week lower, but I’m still focused on building long-term exposure to the S&P 500. I’ve only just started my investment journey, so these pullbacks are an opportunity to think about how aggressively I want to build my position.

My trade: Holding my existing shares and considering a lump-sum addition if the S&P 500 approaches its 200-day moving average.

Takeaway: I’m starting small, but willing to deploy more capital if the market offers a more attractive entry.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

Context: The S&P 500’s 7,600 level is a key support to watch, coinciding with the 100-day moving average. I’m keeping an eye on whether the index can hold this level or if further downside is coming.

My trade: Using VOO as my S&P 500 proxy, I’ve started accumulating and may add more if the index breaks below support.

Takeaway: I’ll continue my monthly DCA, with deeper pullbacks offering opportunities to average down.

$VG S&P 500(VOO.US)

Context: I took advantage of today’s market weakness to buy VOO and add to my exposure to the S&P 500 at a more attractive entry point.

My trade: Bought today and plan to continue accumulating through monthly dollar-cost averaging (DCA), regardless of short-term market swings.

Takeaway: I’ll aim to make this a monthly habit, building my position steadily rather than trying to time the market.
