If I Were in My 20s, I'd Buy This Unstoppable Vanguard ETF and Hold It Forever

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is made up of 500 companies from 11 different sectors of the economy, so it's highly diversified. But then there is the S&P 500 Growth index, which exclusively holds 148 of the best-performing growth stocks from the regular S&P 500, while disregarding its other 352 stocks. As a result, the Growth index typically delivers higher returns than the S&P 500 over the long term. It can also experience more volatility, but that might be a worthwhile trade-off for young investors in their 20s, because the additional gains can lead to a far better financial position in retirement and beyond.
