How big of a deal is it to buy and hold SPY instead of VOO?

I’m 100% SPY in my Roth IRA and taxable account

I have minimal investment knowledge (obviously) lol and as someone who is in their 20’s, I know I have decades ahead of me. I want to just buy and hold, that’s it, pure boglehead style.

I liked the low ER of SPY and though it’s different than VT, I thought SPY was “good enough” for my long term goal.

Then way after I was already buying and holding SPY, I found out about VOO. Basically the sa

ADVICE: Only rule that matters...

So I see a lot of talk about discipline, sticking to low amounts, not have expectations for any trader or investor.

But the reality is that only a single solitary thing matters to ever succeed: Be able to predict with sufficient accuracy what the price of an asset will be in the near or longer future. Probably easier for the shorter term.

EVERYTHING ELSE is irrelevant. You can be the most ill disciplined investor, but if you have something that you

Hargreaves lansdown - uk investors

Hi all, i today opened a stocks and shares ISA with HL and bought the stock $SYPR. It’s closing price was $2.08 but the buy price is $2.15. I appreciate there is a spread, but on the app it is now saying the sell price is $1.66. If you check the ticker it closed at $2.08.
