Individual Stocks, Index Funds, or ETFs?

In the market these days, there are so many options to place your money in. I am curious, what do you typically invest in, day after day, week after week, month after month?

I spread it around, look at my highest convictions, average down if needed, any thing left over, gets put right into SPY or QQQ. I also have a Fidelity account with a low cost Index Fund as well a no cost Total Market fund.

I spread the wealth, but lately I have been enjoying picking companies. Looking into finance, asking myself, do I use that company at all, and eve better, do I use them monthly?

There are many books that can teach you how to read financial statements, look into management, and make the right call, but one thing Peter Lynch talks about in One Up on Wall Street is, you as the consumer know where your money is going, and what products are being used.

The companies you use are a great basis of getting started with research on a company. Companies you personally give money to every month for their products and services are windows open to what companies you should invest in.

No two people are going to have the same portfolio, unless they are copying someone. Most people have different attitudes towards risk, products, and services. This means that a company in your portfolio may not be in someone else. That doesn’t mean you are wrong.

So, what financial instrument do you regularly invest in?
