Never buy ETFs again, what was I thinking? Way too boring, moves way too slow, I'm just too impatient for this crap. Need more capital to go long Google.

When I read something like that, I always think of the following quote from Kostolany:

"I can't tell you how to get rich quick, but I can tell you how to get poor quick: by trying to get rich quick."

Someone like that has no business on the stock market - as hard as it sounds

Oh man, beginners should PLEASE not take this as an example. Nobody gets rich overnight 👍 The great thing is that the ETF will really take off in terms of profits after 10 years. But well, those who can't be patient will lose a lot in life

9 out of 10 investors do better with an ETF. Good luck with that 🥴

Just go for a core-satellite strategy. E.g. 400 in ETFs as core and 200 in individual stocks (numbers to be replaced according to wealth)

I agree with you exactly. That's why I have my ETFs in an insurance wrapper so that I never look at them and only have individual shares in my portfolios.
