So since Covid this community and all over social media people have done incredibly well investing in individual stocks ( me included) and I’m not even talking about your Palantir or Micron, I’m talking your relatively safer bets like Google, Apple and Meta.
I hold both ETFs and stocks but unsure which route to push further down, I’m worried that everyone is making so much money as the markets been on an absolute run since Covid it seems like you would have to have really messed up to lose money.
So basically 20/30 years ago are the stocks you picked certain to beat the market what did you get right and what did you get wrong? And what do you believe now? ETF or individual stocks?
