Today, investors can harness this power by simply owning the entire market through a low-cost index fund. This is one of the best strategies going. It’s the “do-nothing” approach. Its main benefit, aside from working so well, is that it’s cheap and easy to implement on your own. You certainly don’t need to pay anyone a big fee to tell you to just buy the market, sit back, and latch on to the power of compounding.
