>>812546Put all your money in Vanguard. Basically an AI statistical algorithm that just mimics what human experts do. You won't beat the market but you'll never lose either, and since GDP growth is always trending positive you'll make a solid profit.
Had an extraordinary 21% return this year. That gain will eventually be lost in recession years. That's natural- business cycle- just expect it and don't panic or try to dodge it.
The only way to beat the market is to add value to the market. You do this by correcting stupid people's mistakes- thus making the market more efficient. It means being predatory, and therefore being a full time professional who spends all his time looking for suckers- which usually means amateurs.
Value investment is possible, but its a highly skilled profession like surgery and isn't to be taken lightly. And its only possible so long as there are idiots on the market.
