Should I invest in single stocks or ETFs?

I have been DCA-ing into Syfe's equity for a few months now and I'm thinking of DIY as well. I have roughly 100-200 of cash to spare.

Should I invest with ETF like DRIV, ARK etc or single stocks like Alibaba, Tencent, Tesla, Apple etc. (Even though Syfe's equity is tracking Tesla and Apple)

Do note individual stocks can be expensive unless you have a broker that allows fractional shares. You may hence not be able to diversify much.

I’m all up for active investing and trading but I would highly discourage you from doing it unless you understand how to analyse companies/the markets.

I suppose from your qns you may not be too familiar with such things such as fundamental and technical analysis?
That’s ok!! Nothing wrong with that. Understanding where you are and what suits you is crucial. May be better to just stick with broad funds like ETFs while you learn more

I wud say ETF. cos let the experts do the job of choosing the stock for me, assuming i choose the right ETF. i might miss out of 10x, 20x, 30x of tesla or apple, but i think the ETF will also do fairly well.

but u also pointed out Syfe tracking tesla and apple, so i wud go 1 step further and choose an ETF which has minimal overlapping with Syfe holdings.
