    If one active trader is beating the market, another active trader is underperforming the market by the same amount. It's a zero sum game. Now a lot of the people on the other side of your trades are probably going to be institutional traders and people who make a living doing that stuff. They have way more time and resources to research stocks and you'd be a fool to think you can outsmart them.
    In reality, most active traders don't beat the market, and that's before you include fees and commissions. You'd be better off buying a low fee index fund for stocks and one for bonds, doing like an 80%/20% split between those two or what have you, and continuing to invest. Trying to time the market is a sure fire way to lose.
    If you need more money, rather than trying to outsmart institutional investors, get a second job and invest that money.

      alex2143 YES. What have the headache of trying to investigate all the financial complex stuff ( you can learn about some etf sectors and business climates and REITs and precious metals if you wanna diversify ) but yes take the time you would investing of “trying” to beat be market and get a 2nd part time job to put more money in index funds. Smart comment!

    It’s simple only invest in companies you understand and use regularly . If you own Apple products , buy Apple , if you eat Mcdonald , buy Mcdonald etc etc. if you invest in companies that you are familiar and understand , you will have the confidence to put more money into it as time goes by . How many millionaire do you know that got wealthy from index funds ?

    O.K., what's the best way for MOST people to invest for basic life-goals? Very probably low-cost index funds. People who don't have the interest (no pun intended) in actively (no pun intended) learning about companies and stocks, shouldn't be casually doing so.

    I don't do any homework, I don't understand that stuff. But still invest in stocks. Its funnier than indexes and even if I don't know anything and pretty much buy/sell only looking at charts and reading news, I still make a good ROE. Maybe its just luck or maybe the market is so good everybody is making money. But its fun to invest. To reduce my risk I never invest more than 5-10% of my portfolio in a single stock.

      Chinie Chin Chen 陳小城 I'd say either VOO or VYM... I'm a simple investor; low fees, easy to understand, liquid, no commission, and pays dividends. Not to mention already diversified and will basically never go bankrupt... Personally I'd prefer VYM (high dividend yield)... hope this helps, I learned a lot through my mistakes and I always come back to this strategy

    As your investment coach, if you're under 35 years old, park 50% of your money under the mattress, and 50% in a safe place in the attic. That should suffice your asset allocation needs. Buy a few lotto tickets each week. Thank me later...

      Truly horrible advice, never out yours eggs in one basket, what if the house burns down. Even in a savings account your would at least get a 1% interest lol Diversified share, bonds portfolio is a classic winner.
