You could do both. Pick 5/6 stocks you like most and put the rest of money in some aggressive investment fund(s).

Do you really think Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, J&J are going to be less in 5 years than current price?

This was a whole 6 months of markets going down, even though the steepest slide took ~30 days then followed by few corrective positive movements. 2008/2009 chart:

A lot of those sales recently were guys like myself who had apps in their pocket to do that. It was a lot more effort and slower in 2008. Definitely impossible to say but I’ve a hunch the people who held in 2018 are likely to hold now also, hence the lies of 2018 that were currently approaching may be an indication of a floor. I realise this post could look very stupid ina month

As Mark Twain says "history does not repeat, but it rhymes". The market is not being propped up by cheap credit, people have not borrowed beyond their means, and one lesson that may arise from this for businesses is the importance of diversifying their supply lines with less reliance on China.
