I am interested in finding out each of the 200 companies that make up the index, I know she said that typically those that individually choose ASX shares come out with less in the long run than just letting ur investment distribute evenly over the biggest firms/companies, but if I could let some of the less likely companies go and swap them with up and coming companies that U watch regularly eg. I am constantly getting profits from a little company (GNG) GN engineering and I couldn't imagine not having it within my portfolio so I do think that choosing the pick of the index , well those more likely than others to excel and doing so much be a more favourable way to go while also giving more insight into the shares that you own and observe as they prosper (well that's the plan anyway)
