RE: Many people don't like to own an ETF in conjunction with an individual company which happens to represent a good portion of the ETF value. I was doing that the last 5 or 6 years up until last week when I still owned RTX and LMT. GOOGL is my last stock. I used to hold some tech stocks along with ETF and CEFs, same with healthcare. I sold all my stapes and saw no need to replace them with an ETF or CEF, I'm not a huge fan. If someone cherry picks a couple of stocks from each industry by skimming ETF top picks, I think they could do really well, but I don't want to put in the work.
