First portfolio

I had a large position in the SP500 and the Russell 2000 for most of my investing career. IWM is a good Russell ETF. Small Cap indexes are actually undervalued as an index now. Doesn't mean they won't drop more in an overall market correction but they look safer than most indexes that are so overweighted by the same six or so stocks.

I don't recommend a new investor buy individual small caps. 2021 was a lesson in how hard they can drop.
