Wow!
Not a single one of those individual companies outperformed your ETF??
Past performance isn't an indicator of future results when it comes to investing, but...you can see that for yourself, right?

@Stullen-Portfolio Yeah, you're right about that, but if you compare how long I've held the ETF and when I bought the stocks, there's still potential thereā $ALV was almost at the same level for a short while^^

Sure thing.

By the way, your sales history also paints another clear picture for meāone Iād use as a starting point if I were seriously considering whether individual stocks are the right path... š¤·
But of course, itās your money, your decisions. Weāre just offering perspectives and opinionsāand only because you asked us.

@Stullen-Portfolio What would you personally do? To be honest, investing only in ETFs is too boring for me.
Since I want to use the dividends to cover some of my smaller fixed expenses over the long term, the dividend from my ETF is too small, which is why Iām adding a few dividend-paying stocks.
Thanks in advance for your honest opinion.

I think weāre on different sides of the fence. For example, I find myself wondering what the opposite of boredom is when it comes to investing, and whether, once youāve reached the opposite of boredom, youāre actually satisfied š¤·.
I generally find the stock market and finance very interesting and exciting, and I listen to podcasts on the topic almost every day. However, my portfolio still consists of only a few holdings, and I invest through a savings plan. Iām very happy not to have to make any decisions on a daily basis.
I have zero interest in dividends. I cover smaller fixed expenses with my salary. For me, investments serve exclusively a long-term goal, and in that regard, I prefer to avoid taxes as much as possible and to pay them as late as possible. I just donāt get excited about a ā¬200 dividend, since I know that paying out that ā¬200 takes ā¬250 away from my long-term goal...š¤·
Since our mindsets and goals are quite different, I think it makes sense that our investments differ as well. My advice would be based on my fundamental approach and wouldnāt really help you become happier within your own āworldā...

@Stullen-Portfolio Thank you for your honest words. Finally, a great responseāthe kind you often wish for instead of just a thumbs-up.
I understand your perspective on investments; I donāt think weāre on completely different pagesāthere are certainly some points where our views overlap.
Best regards,
Flo
