I do agree with you, but we are in a time where there is so much information available that we just can't ignore it. I have been investing for over 40 years. In that time I have had two securities go bankrupt. I still have the paper certificate to prove it. Every time I look at the certificates, I wonder why I bought into those companies. Back then you had to walk in to a brokerage office to place your order and then you didn't know what the heck was going on until you received confirmation in the mail. For me personally, I do prefer etfs, but I do hold 2/3 of my current portfolio in common stocks. They all pass the Z-score.
