@DonkeyInvestor But ETF does not mean buying the whole sack with all the rotten potatoes. And here you do the work and only pick the good potatoes out of the sack.
@Tenbagger2024 Yes. But there are two things you should know about me: 1) I'm not a studied farmer and don't have the knowledge to tell the rotten potatoes from the good ones 2) The time I would have to spend analyzing potatoes to find only the good ones, I can't invest in my job, my family and my friends. With all three alternatives, the time invested is more valuable.
And even if I have found the good potatoes, it can happen that I conjure up a great potato casserole, but everyone else just doesn't like potatoes
My dear Satoshi, You have written all this very nicely. And it is very difficult as an investor to beat the World or an S&P ETF. And that's why you're doing everything right. Maybe it's a bit of friction between ETF investors and individual shareholders. Between dividend and growth shareholders.
It is precisely these little frictions that we like so much and that enrich communication in the community.
