All my investments are long run, except for 2 (SLS) and (HGRAF) (these are just fun stocks to add some risk to my portfolio.
But honestly the rest of my investments are very safe, diverse, and I don’t plan on selling any time soon.
However, I feel that I am just stupid for not investing in a global ETF perhaps? Why should I not just put my whole portfolio in to an ETF, are there any downsides, and are there any really safe ones?
I know if I set aside a significant amount of money and put it in to an ETF, then I should have very good returns in 30 years or so. Makes me wander if I am completely wasting headspace and stressing myself out for no reason investing.
I think if there is a world when I can just work, and put a percentage of my income in to an ETF every so often, and get a stable 8% + return I’d be delighted, but am I delusional thinking this would be easy?
Sorry if this seems like a long winded question but it’s just something that plays on my mind as a relatively young investor.
Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

There’s no such thing as a stable 8%+ return
But yes, the whole point of ETFs is you invest and then check back in 20 years
Buy VTSAX or VOO , dca and chill

Yes, that is delusional.
