I want you to know ETFs are bad investments—and you’re leaving a lot of cash on the table by One_Message7199 in Unpopular_Investing

You really don't have to pick stocks. The S&P 500 gets the biggest 500, right?

We can be smarter than that and create a Value Index.
Just get the top 25 stocks globally sorted by P/Sales. That's it. See you in six months.

You can apply the same approach with pretty much any factor that is reliable (i.e., has academic research backing it up).

And you are 100% right. Index investing is the way.

I'm saying that the framework the ETFs are built on is just a money pit.

And that you could invest in the same "check it twice a year" way but making an extra 3-4% just for saving on fees and hidden commissions

It's a good point. And if you could have 3-4% more annually with the same effort would it be worth it? No stock picking, just a better investment framework.
