Ask Jack Bogle... I'm sure he'll have a lesson or 5 for you.

  What's the lesson?

    Index funds (over time) tend to beat most professional money managers, much less amateur speculators.

      It's worse than that. Over any period of time index funds beat the average actively invested money because they have the exact same returns and less fees: https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm https://web.stanford.edu/~wfsharpe/art/active/active.htm

        Less fees and transaction costs.

  If someone is unfamiliar with the return on index funds they are unlikely to know who Jack Bogle is or what his lessons are.
