During this volatile stock market, is it better to buy individual stocks — or invest in an ETF? Experts weigh in.

The face-off Inflation is stuck in overdrive, a potential recession is hanging over our heads, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA and S&P 500 SPX have both taken a dive this year. Many people are feeling understandably jittery about their finances.

Some may be looking at their investments through a lens of uncertainty, wondering if they should change things up. One perennial question some have: is it better to pick and buy individual stocks or buy shares of an exchange-traded fund ? ETFs tend to have lower fees than mutual funds, though “the gap is closing” according to Investopedia, and ETFs are also typically more tax-efficient than mutual funds because they tend to generate fewer “taxable events,” says TurboTax.

If you invest in an ETF, and one company in the fund starts lagging — say a company like Peloton, which this time last year was at $96 and traded most recently at less than $8 — you’re not going to get wiped out by having too much exposure to any one stock, he said. “In investing that’s something that is desirable, that one problem investment doesn’t take down all of your holdings,” Plechner said.

Is my verdict best for you? On the other hand, while some ETFs are index funds that track the broader market, some can be very narrowly focused, which can make them as potentially risky as owning just a few individual stocks, some observers say. And the ability to trade frequently isn’t necessarily a good thing.

“Just like individual stocks, there are thousands of ETFs in the investment universe so making investment decisions may not be as simple and straightforward as perceived,” Wilkes said.

You may be losing money with Old Joe, but cartel profits are up 1000% over 2years. That’s why I am offering my new CartelETF, which invests in both well-known and up-and-coming southern region cartels. Appreciation guaranteed until at least Nov 2024. IRA transfers possible.

Even better is to sell both and see yourself earn profits while the market dives headfirst into the abyss.

ETFs all the way! No cherry picking for me, its exhausting.

Whiplash in Stock Market Shows Investors Are Still on EdgeStocks have often posted some of their biggest gains of the year in the midst of their worst selloffs. Some investors say the market’s roller-coaster ride as of late seems like a classic bear-market rally. Who is going to pay investment firms 2-20 after a year like this? Of course it is. Bitcoin and pricey pandemic tech stocks are just like zero coupon bonds which are highly sensitive to rising interest rates. Expect more selloffs and more pain as long as the Fed keeps jacking up rates to fight inflation. Constant wild market swings? If you have ‘spare💰’ to gamble with, judiciously place Puts & Calls simultaneously… you’ll likely profit—one way or the other.
