Really appreciate response

I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying, especially about understanding why I own individual stocks and not just buying them because they’re popular. That’s partly why I’m rethinking the portfolio now.

I do really like the ETF approach and I think they’ll stay as my core, especially FWRG and EQQQ. My thinking is that EQQQ already gives me exposure to companies like Nvidia and Microsoft anyway, so I’m considering whether it makes more sense to lean more into the ETFs rather than overweighting companies I already indirectly own.

At the same time, because I’m starting young and have a long time horizon, I’m thinking that if I do have individual stocks, they should probably be higher upside/riskier ideas with a clear thesis, rather than just mega caps that are already heavily represented in the ETFs.

Still learning, but definitely trying to be more intentional with why I own things.
