You pay a tax drag on distribution, you pay for that shit every 3 months. I pay it when I sell. I am in market indexes and don’t plan to sell until i’m in retirement.
When you add that all in together your total returns are less than the S&P 500. If you really wanted a more stable portfolio you would be in bonds, specifically any municipal type bond fund. Shit tax fre and distributions are monthly. Principal stays flat.
I’m sorry you can’t understand market risk, but you’re getting played. Also buffett gets to trade in insurance pools, you do not.
Also buffet never invested in tech but jumped in to Apple once everyone else jumped in so he laggard on that and he warned young people multiple times what he invested in may not be the best thing for you to invest in. 401(k), roths and hsa did not exist for a good portion of time he was trading.
