Yes they do. A Random Walk down Wall street is 50 years old. The answer is the broadest lowest expense fund. For most of us that's the S&P Total Market or S&P 500 (typically vanguard for expenses because it's a mutually owned company)
- SirLJ 3y agoIn my opinion, this will work only, if you have enough money so you don't have to get money out of the investment at the bottom of the downturn...
- BobaFloutist 3y agoWell, yeah, you're not supposed to invest money you expect to need in the short term.
- SirLJ 3y agoAgreed, but life happens, jobs lost, family emergencies, etc..
