When you buy an index fund, you aren't gambling; you’re just taxing the 500 biggest companies in the world for the privilege of existing. It’s the ultimate "lazy" move because you don't have to pick winners—the index does it for you. If a company fails, they kick it out and bring in a fresh one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
