Reasons to Avoid Single Stock Investing
Single stock investing is fraught with risks and challenges. Most stock pickers, even professionals, consistently underperform the broader market. The allure of picking individual stocks is often driven by luck and can give investors a false sense of their own abilities. The volatility and unpredictability of stock prices make it difficult to time investments, and even successful picks can quickly turn sour. It is hard to differentiate between skill and luck in individual stock investing, making it a dangerous endeavor for most investors.
