SOS How do a medium size investor diversified?

The best way for a small investor to diversify is via ETFs.

All investment are personal. Each have different risk profile and yield expectation. An aggressive investor expect high yield must also have to take high risk. But more importantly, one has to be a dynamic investor.

A dynamic investor must be an investor that reconfigure its portfolio on and off to align with the market trend. However, each investment must have a horizon of 2-3 years holding period, however, it can be replaced by another investment if the new investment is expected to have higher yield than the existing ones.
