My wife is too nervous about owning individual stocks. So, I supply her with information and allow her to pick ETFs and index funds for 50% of our portfolio. I choose individual stocks or segment ETFs with the other 50%. I tend to go 20% large cap, 20% International, and 10% Flavor of the Month (Tech for the last 2 years, now moving into gold/silver and rare-earth elements). And yes, we do compete for the best annual return.
