The difference with an ETF is that you don't have to worry about anything. The positions of the best stocks in it are automatically increased or changed. With the individual stocks, of course, you can have as many positions as you want. But after a certain number you lose the overview of your portfolio. Then a company could suddenly get into financial difficulties and even go bankrupt and you don't even notice it or you can't react fast enough and sell it. It is possible, but it takes a lot of effort to research all companies and what is currently happening in their companies😁.

@Dagobert_Duck An ETF also only tracks an index and does not monitor or analyze the securities.

@Dagobert_Duck therefore I say for me personally is at 30 positions sense beyond that I do not go until then I can still monitor reasonably well where I say it is already limit in the long term I will reduce to 25 individual shares and 1-2 etf's but at the moment I get along with 29 individual shares and one etf still good

@DerMartin no The issuer of the index monitors and the issuers of the etf adjust
