I think he means that stock picking is way more dangerous than a well diversified "safe" Fund like most retirement accounts push you to invest in (with high management fees of course).
- arcticbull 8y agoRetirement accounts can just as easily invest in Vanguard funds, side-stepping the 'high management fees' issue of target-date funds. Picking is more dangerous when you're playing to retire vs. playing to build wealth. Further, your asset mix should become more and more conservative over time.

- Spooky23 8y agoIt depends on how you define conservative. The typical guidance is to shift towards bonds and short-term instruments in a fund or ETF over time. The problem with that is that the yields have been poor for many years. A nominally safe investment like the Vanguard Short Term Gov Bond ETF is down in real and nominal terms over the last decade.
