I was at Blossom Con this weekend, and one of the panel conversations that really stuck with me was when @brandon talked about how he eventually sold all of his individual stocks and moved into index funds. Even during a chat with @bdinvesting said he was close to 60% index funds now himself That honestly says a lot. Here are two people who spends time around investing, stocks and the markets and even they decided that keeping things simple made more sense to a degree. It reminded me why I invest the way I do. There is no need to find the next 10x stock, or trying to predict the next crash.You don't need to constantly figure out which company is going to outperform. I've been investing for a decade now and i'm not completely against individual stocks either. I still own some myself but roughly 90% of my portfolio is ETFs because building wealth doesn't have to be exciting. The goal isn't to become the best investor in the room. It's to become financially independent. What's your portfolio mostly made up of individual stocks or ETFs?

Blending both approaches offers the best of both worlds! The exact mix is a personal choice but 80/20 (ETF/Stock) is a common weighting that seems to make sense for most. ๐
