Why VOO is a better choice than VTI (NYSEARCA:VTI)

Thirty years away from retirement, I am leveraging my role as a financial analyst for a Fortune 500 company to build a market-beating portfolio targeting strong capital appreciation and aggressive dividend growth. Blue-chip company with wide moat, competitive advantages, industry-leading market share and profitability, attractively priced relative to future growth in U.S. and European markets. Free cash flow.
