Younger generations got psyoped into yeeting their paychecks into index funds It might be a +EV strategy, but it’s lazy and it trains people into not caring about what they’re buying, or even worse - not knowing! Imagine doing that for a car or for the food you eat (actually this is also true in America 🙃)

what would you recommend instead for a low effort strategy? the average person ends up losing money trading because the natural tendency is to buy high on good news and sell low on bad news the DCA index strategy at the very least has lower volatility and minimal trend following mania compared to other approaches

the only people I know who outperformed were the ones buying tech stocks because they worked in the industry and bullieved, but this is usually terrible advice because you are increasing the downside risk that an industry downturn puts you out of work and blows up your savings simultaneously

I've even talked to traders that do the index DCA strategy because they make so much money at their day job that they don't want to spend any of their free time managing a portfolio this generalizes that the best investment advice for most is to increase income and their subsequent savings rate, not tweaking portfolio

It’s a good question because easy and good returns aren’t usually handed out on a silver platter Either do some diligence and buy and hold securities you expect to do well over long time horizons (value investing a la Buffet or Lyn Alden) Or buy money that can’t be debased (gold or BTC), which is easier & lindy
