The good news is that many of the same competitive advantages that got these companies to where they are still exist today. By buying the index as a whole, you'll have access to all of the top dogs.\nThe verdict\nAny time you pit a single stock against an index, almost anyone can make the case that the single stock has greater upside potential because you probably won't see an index double or triple in a single year. Coinbase may very well double its value by 2022, minting new crypto-millionaires.\nBut what if that doesn't happen? You need to consider the downside risk present when investing in an innovative technology (like cryptocurrency) that already has significant earnings growth priced in. Given the quality of the companies leading the Nasdaq, it's a more prudent bet to go for the basket of tried-and-true winners as opposed to a potentially volatile wild card.\nWith all of that said, a small allocation to Coinbase can make sense if you have interest in the crypto space but don't feel the need or desire to own digital currency directly. For a long-term investor who's serious about keeping their retirement savings, however, the more diversified nature of the Nasdaq index makes it a better buy.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":119014961,"gmtCreate":1622508453853,"gmtModify":1634101016937,"author":{"id":"3562566709596645","authorId":"3562566709596645","name":"Flameon","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3562566709596645","authorIdStr":"3562566709596645"},"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/119014961","repostId":2139043042,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2139043042","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1622465643,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2139043042?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-31 20:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Coinbase Stock or Every Nasdaq Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2139043042","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A pure-play crypto stock or the entire tech index?
