Lifetime investor is what really separates people who are truly investors versus traders. For me, whenever the stock market starts to sell off i stay invested. Everything that we do at the motley fool is about that lifelonga set of goals and building rather than kind of crossing your fingers and hoping something appears in the next six months.
There's no substitute for being invested with skin in the game in the world at large. In this weekend conversation, Co-founders of The Motley Fool Tom and David Gardner explain why. In this discussion the Gardners cover: - How investing fits into the pursuit of becoming smarter, happier, richer - The importance of being a lifelong learner and investor - Using index funds and how to approach buying individual stocks - Two core Motley Fool approaches -- Rule Breaker and Everlasting investing philosophies - Setting the right expectations for returns - Mastering the mindset of investing and managing volatility
