Is There Even A "Perfect" Investment Portfolio?

Gosh, I'm always so indecisive when it comes to having too many options, are you?


So, you can only imagine what it's like when you have thousands and thousands of ETFs to choose from! And those ETFs can contain up to thousands of company stocks (or bonds) within them, all with different allocations and asset values! Mind boggling.


All ETFs come with relatively low expense ratios, but there is a lot to consider when going shopping for ETFs!


Investing doesn't have to be a cookie cutter approach.

So, is there even a "perfect portfolio"? No. The perfect portfolio is not a "one size fits all" approach either. We each have different timelines & horizons, AND we all have different interests and values as well!


There are so many options for investing these days, and its important to learn about these investment vehicles before handing your money off to a brokerage firm or advisor for a fat fee.


After all, don't you want to be excited about what you're investing in?!


Considering all of the above, it's still crucial to stay diversified and not "keep all of your eggs in one basket". Who even does that anymore now anyways?


We've gotten smarter since multiple financial crises and have learned the hard way in terms of what to do/what not to do. If you weren't investing in the market during the 2008 turmoil (like I wasn't), then consider this time (2020-2023) your first financial "crisis"!


Another thing to keep in mind is that we are able to be more tactical and independent with our money now, since there are so many trading platforms and apps launching all the time! Today, online trading is more accessible than ever before. This could work to your advantage or hurt you if you're recklessly buying individual company stocks.


For some like me, having too many options is not always a good thing! It's important to have discipline and a strategy. Your strategy can be whatever works for you and can change whenever you want if its not working. Thats the beauty of investing independently!


Stay tuned for more information on investing in my later posts!
