I've been investing in crypto for a while, but I'm new to US stocks and ETFs. One thing I'm struggling with is deciding whether it's better to buy individual stocks with high growth potential or invest in ETFs for more stable long-term returns.
For someone with limited capital and a long-term investment mindset, what factors do you consider before choosing between a stock and an ETF? Have you ever switched from picking individual stocks to focusing mostly on ETFs, and if so, why?
I'd love to hear real experiences rather than textbook answers.
