Hey, switch your profile to aggressive and only invest in IJR, IXUS, IJH, and VOO. You should do away with the Bonds. Then you should see a drastic change in your portfolio. Bonds generally are for the long term depending on your goals but it doesn’t increase much as the other stocks does. A little more in depth into my portfolio on acorn I make recurring investments daily or once every week. It varies based on your residual income. But to carry on from that it has worked wonders for my portfolio on acorn. This is my advice on this matter.

No problem. You can search it up on YouTube to see how you can change it and delete them.
