Yesterday I was looking at one of my positions – a big mega company for which I own around 4 shares for $700. It kind of hit me that money would have a better future elsewhere, most likely in a passive index fund preferably in an IRA account (even in a cash account this seems like a better strategy).
Over my short tenure as an investor, I noticed that obviously individual stocks are very volatile compared to something like total market fund, and barely moves most of the time anyways, and the upside is just too unclear and minute.
As someone with small amount of capital, I no longer see any reason to bother with large company stocks as even $700 is a big amount for me. Imagine if I had that in Facebook.
Any arguments against my logic on this? Thanks, always glad to read your opinions!
