My first investment in 2022 will still be an ETF, starting the year with something slow and steady, something that will grow over the years and not so high risk:)
Among the biggest ETF, I would stick to S&P which is make up of many familiar stocks to me, that I believe in too.

I disagree that higher price = higher risk. The fundamentals of a stock should be analyzed, how people perceive a stock and have faith in a company stock.

This year I got to know about MooMoo and this is also where I started my investing. Throughout 2021, my portfolio has grew slightly because I wanted to focus on only a few as a start. From starting with only one stock, I started seeing my position went up and down. I learnt about looking at the overall P&L percentage growth rather than just one single stock. This allows diversification and resulted in significant growth in my overall portfolio.

As I am more risk adverse, I would prefer stocks that are less volatile. Most of my money are parked in Indexes (slow growth but it will grow) and growth stock (slightly less volatile but manageable risk).
Of course many would think that this means my portfolio growth would be super slow but for me, that’s good enough as what I’m looking at is long term rather than short term. I believe that slow and steady wins the race. That’s why I feel long term investment is the best for someone who is as risk adverse as me but still want to start somewhere or do something more than just keeping money in bank:)
