It all depends on your appetite for risk. The same people who lost 30-40% in the last month may have gained 200+% in the last year.

No one can time the market.
You have a lot of firepower then buy a bit.
If it deeps more buy some more.

Oil stocks doing well recently!
You bough what you like.
S and p 500 will already have AAPL and Msft and others in it.
All world is 55% 60% usa stocks.
You are aware of this I would assume?
Its fine with individual stocks but u need a core, there is no core…
This is because the better you do , the higher the percentage of your total portfolio is in stocks . … We recommend that instead of investing in individual stocks , you choose low fee ETFs and index funds that closely follow indexes such as the S&P 500 or the Russell 2000 to fill the quota of equity in your portfolio.

Think Twice Before Investing In Individual Stocks – Blueleaf
wealthy have massive incomes, net worths, and opportunities. Although they seek out unique investments in hopes of seeing spectacular returns, not all their ventures pay off with returns greater than a low-fee index fund. However, since they have more than enough cash on hand to survive, they’re less dependent on steady returns. A simple investment strategy in low-fee index funds is good enough for Warren Buffett, and it’s good enough for the average investor.

I disagree, maybe he wants to give more weight to those stocks than the index because he believes in them.
Also stock picking has an element of fun to it, as long as you are aware of the risks.
If all we wanted was low-cost EFTs we’d just get Vanguard accounts and buy an All World ETF… and not bother with freetrade… :freetrade:

This is why I am stock picking too. The S&P 500 isn’t exactly doing great right now, with a return of -3% over the past month. I believe I can outperform that by stock picking in the short term at least. I bought 10 shares in S&P 500 the other day and they’re already down 1.24%. I’m regretting it. I could have invested that in Cineworld, BP or any other stocks that are under valued and benefitting from the Covid recovery.
I do believe in ETFs in the longterm and once we’re out of this Covid crisis and the US stock market looks less wobbly I’ll be more inclined to invest in ETFs. I’ve been eyeing up the green energy ETF as well since I started but it’s just red after red. Same with the Scottish Mortgage Trust. ETFs just don’t look attractive right now to new investors.

Thanks for the input.
As you can see I’m a noob!
I did make the mistake of listening too much news sites, YouTubers, Bloggers etc.
Yes I did buy into too many.
I didn’t quite grasp ETF’s.
I tried to play a dividend game.
Having a small mix of ETF’s would make more sense in my long term plan.
I’ll wait for a green light before I start selling.
… I’d like to see this post in a Year and see how much I won or lost.
Edit: fear of missing out kicked in 
No they don’t @Xenor as the market is over evaluated and the prices need to come down to reflect the true earnings per share.
Here the s and p by weight:

This is the buffet indicator on the website above
Create a comparison here.
Then create a comparison on Investing. Com pick the S&P 500 as your benchmark and then compare it with a few single stocks or ETF on the same graph.
You need a benchmark to be able to set up a strategy.

This is on Morningstar but investing. Com is better but is hard on phone better on pc.
Here you have a comparison on 1 year, you can also do 3 or 5.
I compared AAPL with Technology etf with Scottish Mortgage :
Do the same with your strategy and your sector and your stocks and see how they are doing.
If you bough 10 of an etf not a problem think of long term and compounding.
Einstein said compounding is a miracle:
And listen to this guy, he has been at an investing bank as an analyst for a number of years and wrote a book on the subject:
