Or should I wait for a price drop that may never come ? Also considering VSUX, VTI, and some others. Can anyone recommend some good Fidelity ETF's as well ? I've heard there's a few for purchasing Vanguard ETF's on Fidelity (I am aware of the mutual fund version of VOO, but will buy it under my Roth).

Have you made an overall investment plan based on your personal goals? Does VOO fit into that plan?

VOO is a very good ETF to own but how much to own and what other investments you own is a more important question.
And can't be answered by strangers on the internet who know nothing about your goals or financial situation.

This has nothing to do with my plans. I just wanted to know if I should wait until the price goes down, if it does.

OP, you should familiarize yourself with the concept of a Random Walk https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r...walktheory.asp. and the Efficient Markets Hypothesis and its semi-strong formulation: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/semistrongform.asp

What are you invested in now?
What is your investment horizon?
What is your current debt and emergency funds?
What's your asset allocation?
What's your tax filing status?

We can't begin to answer properly until we know the above. That being said, just remember in spite of the sub forum title, this is a relocation forum primarily, not an investment forum composed of experts.

The stock market might rally for several months before there is another correction. Or it might not.

There is no way for anyone to know.

In all the years I've been on this forum, I have not yet come across anyone with a sixth sense.

Doesn't mean they don't exist though.
