Yes, if the stock market were that easy...
You just have to ask yourself whether you can withstand the draw downs in the nasdaq.
If not, the world is the answer.

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur There are drawdowns for all stocks. Apart from the DotCom bubble, the other drawdowns were not significantly worse than those of the world

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur unfortunately I can't add screenshots to the answers... but if you open the links and scroll down you will see "Drawdown periods" and you can select "Table" and see the individual drawdowns ....

@Alexxela the nasdaq fell from 16600 points to 10600 in 2022, now don't tell me that the draw down was easier to endure than with a world etf

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur
QQQ Jan 2022 - Dec 2022 -32%
VT Jan 2022 - Sep 2022 -25%

I didn't say the drawdown on QQQ was easier to endure... just that it wasn't significantly higher than VT ... I'd rather accept a roughly higher drawdown now and then if x times the return is delivered in the long run...

@Alexxela have 160k in there with such a drawdown, let's see if you keep your nerve when suddenly 60k are gone.

@Alexxela That's just theory.
Nevertheless, my statement still stands:
Can you cope with a drawdown of 6000 points?

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur it's not about the points but about the percentages... with -32% I can do just as well/badly as with the -25% of the world

@Dividenden-Stamm I would have done well with it in the 80s... the problem came in 2000....
