Smart Stock Investing Strategies
Index Fund Investing
Low-cost index funds provide instant diversification and historically outperform most actively managed funds over the long term.
Dollar-Cost Averaging
Invest a fixed amount regularly regardless of market conditions. This reduces the impact of volatility and timing risk.
Long-Term Perspective
Time in the market beats timing the market. Stay invested through market cycles to benefit from compound growth.
