If you own 100 stocks in varied industries, what’s the reason to own them rather than an S&P 500 index fund?

I like the idea of putting XX% of your investments into an index fund, and with the remainder buying five stocks. That makes sense to me. The XX% can be your level of comfort in diversification, and the five stocks your skilled investing.

You could then compare the two baskets, and adjust the XX% accordingly.

80% to 90% of my money is in SIMO. I’m an investing idiot!
