Episode notes
Prefer Long-Term Buy And Hold
- Invest long-term with a buy-and-hold approach to minimize decision risk and emotional trading mistakes.
- If volatility causes anxiety, trim or sell positions you dislike but avoid full liquidation due to tax and behavioral costs.
Use U.S. Index Funds Regularly
- For most individuals, buy broad U.S. indices like the S&P 500 (SPY) to capture market returns.
- Dollar-cost average regularly by investing portions of new savings to remove market-timing decisions.

- The MAG 7 (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, NVIDIA, Tesla, Amazon) equals ~30% of the S&P, concentrating index exposure.
- That concentration helps explain why many active managers underperform when MAG7 outperforms.
