[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1- the conventional wisdom is that index funds are best, and that money you put in individual stocks is essentially like gambling or fun money- i.e. money you're perfectly comfortable losing.[/quote] What's wrong with creating your own mutual fund by selecting 25 to 30 stocks to invest in? How is that not diversified? [/quote] you are virtually guaranteed to underperform the market over the long term. better to just invest in an index fund with vanguard (they seem to have the lowest fees around) and let it ride. no stress, no time wasted.
