hank green

  • long-term broad market investing is safest/reliable
    • low-cost index funds keep more returns bc management fees compound over decades
  • low-cost US equity index funds work well
    • index fund holds market-weighted basket of companies
  • concern that S&P 500 is too concentrated due to significant value tied to AI companies, reducing diversification
  • other investments to consider
    • S&P 500 Value index Fund
    • Mid-cap stocks
    • International index fund
    • Small-cap stocks - (but this historically has lower returns)
    • bonds
  • tldr don’t exclusively invest in s&p500
