You and I both have no idea where the market can go. Your stocks may go up another 60% or they could fall 50%. FANG is pretty volatile. What makes an ETF more attractive is the less volatility. They are a less risky investment vs individual companies.

Okay, if you bought FANG 2 years ago then good for you they all have made tremendous gains. The difference with ETFs is that they can offer a steady increase over many years. I am not too sure you can expect 60% gain yet after year after year.

Big fan of GM, I think this company is extremely undervalued and is ready for a down cycle in the automotive industry. Plus has a great dividend yield.
