I also prefer investing in the market leaders as market leaders have more consistent earnings and that’s why they provide decent returns along with stability.
Also, risk is diversified with the market leaders.
I believe that investing in market leaders provides more versatility and liquidity and also benefits with potential returns in a shorter period of time.
Market leaders cannot be the one we should be after. Growth potential stocks are best to invest for future. Green energy, lithium , electric based companies have good value.
