Buy Index Funds And Don’t Try To Time The Market 📊

Trying to pick individual stock market winners and losers is not a path to a successful investment strategy.

Also, stay invested and resist the urge to market-time.

If you owned an S&P 500 index fund in 1994 and held on to it, that investment has grown exponentially, as the index has gone from just under 470 to about 5550 now, a gain of nearly 1,100% 🤑

A passive approach to investing, ensures that you will continue to own America’s most dominant companies in vibrant industries.

It’s hard to beat an index portfolio no matter how much expertise you have, especially after factoring in fees for an actively managed fund.

The Unmatched Power Of A Stock Portfolio 💼

The long-run real (inflation adjusted) return on stocks has averaged 6.8% a year since 1802.

In the past 30 years, we had a financial crisis, the Covid pandemic, and other ups and downs, and the real return has still averaged 6.5% to 7% a year.

That is the power of the persistence of long-term real returns.

Although stocks are the most volatile asset class in the short run, they are the most stable asset class in the long run.

No other asset class in the U.S. has achieved such higher returns over any long time-period 💰

Bonds, gold, and real estate can’t match the real return of diversified publicly traded equities.

What Are The Risks Of Another Tech Bubble? 🤔

We have always had momentum traders in the market, and momentum investing can be a fairly successful strategy.

People ride the wave with the belief that they can jump off before it crashes.

That, of course, doesn’t often happen.

But we are nowhere near the internet bubble.

That was a much more severe situation in 1999 and 2000 🤯

That was the biggest momentum wave that we’ve seen in modern history.

Today, while tech companies have high P/Es, their earnings are coming through, and their valuations are nowhere near the stratospheric valuations that we saw 20 to 25 years ago.

We are not in a stock market bubble.
