[James Origins and Today] Chapter 38 - Index Investing Is Simple, But Not Easy (05/30/2023)

The simple thing: buy with money, hold for a long time, kill without selling (never leave the market).

It's not easy: It's hard to go through 20, 40 years without moving like a mountain.

Long-term index investing is easy, but not the easiest.

Operator, looking at the wind is rain, buying and selling is easy. But it is not sustainable and stable long-term profits, or it is not a way for ordinary people to invest without doing anything. Operation is neither easy nor straightforward.

Investors, instead of taking an easy or difficult path, want long-term stability and profitability.

It is not easy to do it, nor is it not easy to not do it. In the end, it is the long-term determination of performance that investors need to think about.

There are a lot of great operations in the market, but I can't say 1.2. 3. The constant guideline allows everyone to follow, take everyone to Everest, and get rich together, that's the point. Usually it is profound and difficult to understand, like this and that, if that and that, if... a lot If this and that, the rearview mirror looks at the market, predicts the market, is occasionally correct, repeated errors and then corrected, yesterday is not today.

If a person thinks his investment is great and wants to share it, that's great, make money and give him a clap. But is there a standard for this? If you want to teach people, you have to think about whether you can write an invariant rule of 1, 2, 3 (don't use one for bulls, one for bears, and one for sideways, but you can't tell what's next!), by doing so, everyone can be as good as you and make long-term profits. That's what we're trying to help. Otherwise, after sharing it, there will be another set tomorrow. Everyone can only clap their hands, and no one can make a fortune with it.

So, we're on a simple but not easy path. The point is that as long as you are willing to invest for a long time, everyone can get rich, but investors must recognize that they can only get rich after 10, 20, or 30 years.

To be able to ignore market storms, insist on staying in the market, to be able to decline in the market, and have their own way of living, living funds are no problem, can survive the darkest period of the market, is the focus of long-term investment.

It is the easiest to buy if you have money, hold it for a long time, and kill if you don't sell. The difficulty is how to continue on this path, encounter obstacles, how to cross, how to get through, to get through, is the most difficult.

This time (May 2022) is the most difficult time on the investment road, and we have passed it (like 2000, 2008). Besides, things are better now) Then it'll be easy!

There are new stocks in any market, but only Buffett insists on “long-term investors” for long-term profits.
