The Minority Mindset Show Why 90% Investors Will Always Lose (Don’t Do This)
Nov 6, 2025

The ABB strategy—Always Be Buying—encourages consistent investment through market fluctuations. Small differences in returns can significantly impact wealth over time. Passive investing with index funds reduces risks compared to single stocks. Lastly, a mindset shift is crucial: treat stocks like long-term assets, ignoring daily noise and focusing on research.

Episode notes
Worst-Case Timing Still Wins If You Hold
- Jaspreet uses a worst-case timeline: buying in 2007 then 2020 before crashes to show long-term holding wins.
- He notes that if you didn't sell, you'd be richer today despite those bad timing examples.
Trading vs Long-Term Investing
- Trading is gambling while long-term investing captures real wealth over years and decades.
- The S&P 500 has averaged about 10% annually despite recessions and crashes.
Use Broad ETFs For Diversification
- Use broad ETFs (like VOO, SPY) to get passive exposure to the S&P 500 instead of picking single stocks.
- Let funds automatically replace failing companies so you avoid single-stock disasters.
