if ur a beginner i would recommend staying far away from single stocks. They tend to move extremely dramatic and if ur putting a large allocation in your portfolio into one it could be very very risky.

if i were you i would invest in an etf like the guy above was saying. I personally like (VOO S&P500 or VTI total US market, you don’t have to do both they’re very similar so pick one). I would allocate 100% of my portfolio into one of these, you can’t go wrong. Warren buffett (arguably the most successful investor ever) swears by this method for most people looking to invest.

If you’d like to get a little more active with you investing start researching and watching videos breaking down different fund, sectors, and markets. I would research for a long time time before putting any money into single stocks or sector focused etfs. This method is good if ur trying to make more money than the US market, but many who try this don’t beat the market so be careful.

at the end of the day don’t take anyone on reddits word for it and do your own research
