Index Funds vs Individual Stocks: What Beginners Get Wrong

youtube

Your stock picks are probably losing to the market. 95% of active investors underperform the S&P 500 index. Index funds let you own the entire market instantly. Individual stocks demand hours of research every single week. One bad stock pick can wipe out your gains. Index funds spread your risk across hundreds of companies. Beginners often chase hype instead of real value. Start with index funds, then add stocks later.
