Saturday question round👋

Hello stockbrokers,

I have a question for the single share - shareholders:

Why do you invest in single stocks?(99% of investors will not outperform the market outperform the market and 75% of the fund managers don't make it either!)

If you look at this over decades, the probability decreases further!

Looking forward to the exchange in the comments!

PS: Also invest in individual stocks, but will respond critically to your comments in this post :)

1. because I believe that with a portfolio consisting of a few good individual stocks, you can outperform the 7.2% of the MSCI World if you hold it like an ETF over the long term. Companies like Abbott, PG, J&J, Pepsico, Altria etc. outperform the market over a long period of time. 2. Because I was not comfortable with 100% ETF, there is still a small issuer risk and an index like the MSCI World is prone to exaggerations. For example, among the top 10 in 1990 were some absurdly valued Japanese banks, in 2008 banks were again very highly weighted, currently it is the big tech stocks that weigh on the index. 3. It is fun to deal with individual companies and to manage the portfolio.

With a wide spread, maybe 75% are studs and 20% are just solalal, but the 5% highflyers bring mighty cash to pull it all out 🤑🚀

Only ETFs is too boring for me and I was taught that you should also take some risk on yourself, besides, my depots are operated with fun money if it is really 50% less bad luck.

I invest in single stocks because I am convinced that I will outperform the market but not yet (I am 15 and still have a lot to learn) but later I will :D

Because one: - maybe has the ambition to try it anyway - only ETFs are too boring - ETs have costs (low but present) Dividend shares e.g. not - relation to companies? one likes to drive Porsche > buys Porsche shares. Or vice versa one likes Porsche can't afford one but can buy Porsche shares etc :D

Because it's fun and cash flow motivates. Both factors encourage me to invest more than I would otherwise. And that is a good thing for the portfolio and possible returns in the end.

After costs, even 100% of ETFs are worse than the market

In fact, I believe that "individual shares as a hobby" increases the motivation to save more. The "more" is then the outperformance compared to ETF and Co.
