Absolutely share your view. Just don't think you automatically have to argue against individual stocks in individual portfolios per se. Often yes UNCONDITIONALLY, but not always. The problem is that many retail investors never think outside the box and never question an entire asset class per se, or just as bad, categorically exclude the class. Both without logical rationale.Then your reasoning applies.Without system and rationale it's grotty.Many can't even admit that to themselves and are fine with their "strategy". So nothing can ever change..... I myself, however, consciously hold, for example, also a single share (Deutsche Börse), but in no way for reasons of overperformance. About what role the stock position in my portfolio makes, I have thought in advance, so it actually applies to any x-any stock that I would have chosen. So my strategy is not formed by what I run together or what looks pretty (justification if desired).

@Stratege_Tim I was mainly referring to the shares that are already highly valued in the world. Something like Apple If what the iPhone was to the Nokia comes on the market, Apple's valuation is quickly unnecessary. It seems that many lack creativity

Yes, and since they have never thought about whether they need individual shares or not, they simply buy any individual share so that their "strategy" is implemented. And with regard to high valuation: I have the feeling that many just as simply buy up what has gone well UNTIL NOW 📈 See Big Tech They make it very easy for themselves to only look at the past. But that's not how the stock market works, because it fundamentally lacks the ability to be self-critical and reflective.

•@Stratege_Tim I wouldn't go that far, but it's a bit naive to invest your money so quickly in something you know so little about.
