Short and Simple

May 17, 2025

One of the mainstream beliefs regarding making money from stocks is the idea that you have to hire experts to select companies which will outperform all the others. Since we know 85 percent of fund managers don't beat the market, the odds of choosing a winning one is very slim.

We believe instead that you can use low cost ETFs to outperform.

The secret is to have a winning process.

That's why we have the 8 principles. Instead of taking inordinate amounts of time trying to select winners what we think is it is much easier to have a winning process. 

ETFs are simply an excellent way to manage a portfolio of different asset classes along with a asset allocation and rebalancing plan.

Don't be fooled by hearing about Warren Buffett's wonderful record or any other investor as it is highly unlikely that you will be able to repeat their individual performance. Buffett, for one, enjoyed the process much more than the money.  

So when it comes to investing understand that it is not all that difficult. Anyone can do it. The critical part is learning the correct principles and maintaining them over a long period of time.
