1 Unstoppable Vanguard ETF I Wish I'd Bought 10 Years Ago

I really wish I'd bought shares of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) a decade ago. The index fund has delivered an impressive 15.1% annualized total return over the past 10 years. That's a lot better than some of my individual stock picks. At that return, $10,000 invested in this top ETF would have grown to nearly $41,000 today, assuming dividend reinvestment (over $35,000 without dividend reinvestment).
