And im not really looking to pay someone to choose stocks for me, I like to do the research myself and look for them but I tought people on here maybe would have some experience and could help.
Buying stock through funds is a lot safer (for dozens of reasons: they know CEOs, CTOs, they have a team of people researching about where to invest, etc etc). As you said, you never bought any and you clearly don't know a lot about them, so it would be like gambling in the beginning.
You can pay like 0,5% or even less (like 0,005%) to have professionals managing your money for you.
Personally, I don't focus on dividends and neither care about them, but there are many good funds which are focused on good companies which pay dividends.
Everything depends on where you live, because some places really have problems in the financial market. But if you live in a rich country you are fine.
Vanguard would be may personal choice if I lived in a decent country, and they have low cost funds with very good returns.
I am just wondering if people on here do have/buy stocks or that they are only focussing on Crypto it self.
