If you want specific advice , look at the following mutual funds. *And
do not put all your money in just one fund.

VEIEX Emerging Markets
VMGIX Mid Cap Growth
VISGX Small Cap Growth
VFSVX All World Small Cap
VFINX S & P index

I added the names of the mutual funds. You might note that two of
these funds are for stocks that are not US stocks. So might be okay
if only the US goes TU.
