How long did it take you to learn ? And can you really beat the index funds, as a layman investor, and how big is the difference ?

  Probably a couple months by reading a few key books and following up to understand the specifics. And no, I went with an index investment strategy, not trying to beat the market. But it really helps to understand why index investing is a good choice.

    I wonder what to read to understand how the fact that so much money is invested in index funds these days could eventually become a problem in a crisis situation and how to profit if that happens.
