My mutual fund and etf picks have been great so far.
Individual stocks picks.. not so much. In the green overall though. Think I may stick with the etfs and mutual funds for the foreseeable future tho instead of individual stocks
Its about the long term.I got one account that are mutual and index funds and one that have 6-7 individual stock picks. My mutual and index funds always beat my individual stock acct every year.
Them index/mutual funds be boring but they definitely bring the higher returns overall
Funds and indexes are good in the long run. Not that you cant beat the market, but moreso that you want to risk manage when your talking bout investing 5, 6, and 7 digits.
So you go with lower growth than what an individual stock can get you, but youre also taking a smaller risk.
Nice to have that balance.
Everyone should try to take risks and find stocks that give exponential growth, but that should only make up 15-20% of your portfolio.
