Long term stock trading

I'm opening this journal so that I can talk about stocks when I'm high on beer... somehow I find it very useful.


Just saying whatever comes to mind... and eventually deleting my post the day after, if it's too stupid.

equal weight vs market weight.


buying a market weighted index means betting 5% or more on a single stock.if you are a trend follower, that's fine ..


but I like to diversify so I prefer equal weight.

as I said, I like to diversify and the only equally weighted index I can buy with my bank is the SP. the msci world / msci EM are market fukking weighted.

so what am I supposed to do ? I'm going to drink some beer ofc..

some people consider diversification stupid... I mean succesful investors, very intelligent ppl...

to me, diversification is more about humbleness than stupidity.

another option would be to create my own index...however, that would be too expensive even if I rebalance it yearly... PLUS I would have to pay more taxes.

so...

I'm trying to avoid taxes and fees as much as possible... easy.,

I'm waiting for a better opportunity to buy.... easy.

I'm trying to avoid funding companies that I don't like for ethical reasons... not so easy.

the selling part is also easy... I sell when I need the money
