Hi! I opened a vanguard account and I’m hoping to buy the dip! First time buying into the market.

My question is how do you buy S&P 500 with vanguard?

Is it different with each brokerage?

Like a different symbol? I can’t find it

[Bill]

Just to clarify, it’s true, you won’t see the s&p 500 listed specifically.

You will see a mutual fund or etf that tracks the s&p500.

Each of the discount brokerage houses have funds like this.

If you specifically want S&P500, then buy VOO. If you want a total stock market index, then VTI.

[Mark]

Just invest in the s and p. Don’t worry about or pay attention to a so called “dip”.

It should have zero bearing on ur investment strategy…

buy early, buy often, always be buying

[Ron]

Buy VOO…it only contains the s&p500.
A better buy is VTSAX (the mutual fund) or VTI (the etf form of the same fund) which gives you exposure to 4200 stocks.

[Michelle]

I want to reiterate ignoring the whole “buy the dip” part and just invest.

The S&P is down, but only to what it was 3 months ago.

Is there a reason you didn’t buy then?

It could just as likely drop another 10 or 20% the day after you put your money in.
