💡 Key Investing Principles (Always True)

📈

Time in market beats timing the market

Investors who try to time the market underperform those who stay invested through volatility — consistently, across every 20-year period studied since 1926.

💰

Fees are the only guaranteed drag on returns

A 1% expense ratio costs you ~$300K on a $500K portfolio over 30 years. Index funds at 0.03–0.05% keep more of your compounding working for you.

Diversification is the only free lunch in investing

Holding uncorrelated assets reduces portfolio volatility without reducing expected return. A 3-fund portfolio covers the entire global market for <$20.

🕑

Dollar-cost averaging removes emotional decision-making

Automating contributions monthly means you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when high — mechanically executing what most investors fail to do manually.
