Indexing and the Case for Unticking Stocks

Indexing is a proven strategy for achieving market returns./nChoosing low-fee index funds like Vanguard S&P 500 can be a good option for market returns./nThere are various ways to try and outperform the market, but it's a different game./nOne strategy is to select a few stocks from the S&P index instead of picking individual stocks./nBy avoiding stocks of certain companies, investors can align their investments with personal values./nIf banking stocks underperform in the future, investors who took them out may beat the S&P./nActively stock picking can provide a sense of accomplishment and potentially beat the market./nThe market is likely to witness the next phase of this approach.
