Is it okay to invest $50-100 into different ETFs or focus on a few with $100-200 into each?

Does it make sense to invest $50-100 into different ETFs (6-10), into areas of interest that i believe have growth, or focus on a few (2-3) and focus my capital to $100-200 into each?

Improving from what Chris mentioned,
You need to look if there is any crossover or similarities between the ETFs. If u overdiversified, along with a need to pay commission, you cost will be hefty and your upside reward is heavily compromised.
This is assuming that u do not know how to optimise your portfolio.

Taking account into Chris, I would recommend u to use roboadvisors while u learn how to fine pick ETF.

Assuming u want your cost to be <=1%.
If the trading cost is $25, then u need >= $2500 per trade transaction

Etf alone is made to be diversified. If you want to further protect your risk, and taking into Chris recommendation, my recommendation is to use roboadvisors
