What do you think about ETFs in connection with individual stocks?

Since I am fresh 21, I had thought 50% NASDAQ, 30% individual stocks (focus Europe)

10% EM and 10% Bitcoin.


For the stocks, I would like to pick quality stocks, as I want to be on the safe side in the long term.


I would be interested in something like

$ASML (+4.37%)

$LIN (+0.07%)

$MSFT (+1.09%)

$MC (+2.48%)

$PLTR (-1.19%)


Even if Microsoft is also USA, but a company like this is very strong for the long term. Something like $ALV (+0.8%) I find it difficult because I don't want to focus on dividends but only on growth. $DB1 (+0.1%) I would also find it interesting as a long-term runner.

The aim is, if one of the selected 10 shares corrects very strongly or has a very fair price, I would buy it and build up the positions.


The only conflict with me is that I could also put everything into an ETF. If the portfolio continues to grow or the ETF makes up 50-60% and the individual stock "goes under" at some point, it can't keep up in terms of size. How do you feel about this? How do you do it and which stocks do you think are good for wealth accumulation and growth stocks?


I'd love to hear your opinion. Have a nice Tuesday

I would not put 50% into a Nasdaq ETF. If so, then rather S&P500 or even better a World or All Country World.

What is your investment horizon?

Your current execution does not speak for much diversification at the moment.

If only one ETF - I would go with a S&P 500. I am European but when I see comments about world funds (msci or others) I simply don’t understand. If you see the companies there the top 10 holdings are all American - the exposure for international non-us companies is extremely low. Going to Europe based etfs the returns are low when comparing with US. My humble opinion 😁
