Every share of an S&P 500 index fund you hold is already 6-7% NVDA, so a lot of investors already have substantial bets on some of these "race horses".

- MobileVet 2y agoTrue but this misses the core point about agency. Some of us would like too think we know something more and ‘gamble’ on that knowledge. Having 5% to personally assign can scratch that itch without resulting in an overexposed or vulnerable position
- ghaff 2y agoYeah, if you have an itch to individually invest, set a budget and play without doing anything too stupid. I've actually done pretty well with that approach especially when I've avoided capital gain with a charitable trust with a few relative home runs I have hit.
- ghaff 2y agoWhenever I kick myself a little about not owning any/enough of the "race horses" I content myself that there's probably a lot scattered around my portfolio. So you missed out a bit but your index funds actually benefited.
