If you’ve been reading a couple of our last postings; you might be wondering: are we stock picker? We’ve been talking about stock picks, see here, here and here. In fact, we have never talked about ETF or mutual funds.
The answer to this question is: yes and no. We have a diversified portfolio; a large amount of them are invested, surprisingly, in ETFs and index mutual funds. We allocated only about 10% are invested in individual stocks. We’ll discuss more about our assets allocation in future posting. 
Why don’t we just invest in index funds and do nothing? Isn’t investing in individual stocks very risky? There are a couple of reasons. One reason is because we want to find ten-bagger. We don’t normally find ten-bagger in index funds, do we? Another reason is because we want to improve our investment skills. We’re still beginner in the investment world; there are a lot of things we need to learn. That’s why; we don’t want to risk too much capital in individual stocks (for now).
