If you want to invest in stocks without having to:
pick individual stocks
time the stock market
work for your income
β β then I have some good news. π
Not only is it possible over a long time horizon, but itβs also simple and accessible.
I donβt know about you, but this is refreshing because it means you donβt have to nerd out on the topic and still have a fair shot at growing your wealth over your lifetime.
Itβs not easy to beat the S&P 500, not even hedge funds can do it over time. Hedge funds are pools of high risk investments managed by a professional team.
Not even they can do it β but thankfully you donβt need them, you just need the market average and time.
