Would it be more beneficial to purchase ETF's in the long run?
Thanks for any input.

I am a conservative investor, and while the upside may be greater for an individual stock, so is the downside. I don't want to sweat bullets for the next year, so all I buy are ETFs.
I own, XLF, IVV, QQQ, VTI and VOO.
The only individual stock I own is Boeing which I bought into at $93/share, but it is an insignificant part of my portfolio. It's definitely a risky play and I think there may be some more bad news, but it is one of those too big to fail companies because it is such a significant defense contractor and the largest commercial airplane manufacturer in the world. We can't have only Airbus owning the market. Unsurprisingly, 737 manufacture restart is starting to see movement. Boeing's lobby is powerful, I'm sure calls were made to the Trump administration to tell the FAA to hurry it up.
