>stocks
hah, enjoy your bear market.
Its all crypto now, fool
invest in your future, invest in ETH

>investing in stocks and not in crypto

ETH shilling and the frequest /r9k/ visitors has made it unusable. I only use /biz/ to find new resources (blogs & books).
Take your age and subtract that from 100. So if you're 25, you would get 75. Put 75% into a total stock market index fund. Invest the rest in whatever speculation you'd like (growth stocks, penny stocks, crypto, commodities, etc.).

>Basically anyone who screams Crypto should get a week ban.
No coiner coper detected.
There were people who listened when I said to buy the dip and profited massively. My advice on /biz/ actually helped them. It is your problem for missing out, high inhibition pussy.

If you want to truly diversify you could buy into 5 different ETFs that track different 5 industries that have little/low correlation amongst each other.

OP, do some learning first. ETFs are fine but in order to build an optimal portfolio you have to calculate expected return, standard deviation etc, keep the correlation of the various assets in mind and generally do your homework.

>implying that's not completely arbitrary and you shouldn't be banned for life for your retardation
Why not buy 5 different coins instead?
