Index Investing Quotes from How Not to Invest book by Barry Ritholtz
- Boring, steady portfolios can withstand anything you throw at them.
- All other things being equal, simplicity beats complexity every time. A portfolio of passive low-cost indexes should make up the core of your holdings. If you want to do something more complicated, you need a compelling reason.
- Indexing has moved from an abstract theoretical approach to investing widely ignored by investors to a key methodology for millions of people, despite - or perhaps because of - the disdain Wall Street has shown.
Index Investing Quotes from The Simple Path to Wealth book by J. L. Collins
- I can't pick winning individual stocks and you can't either. Nor can the vast majority who claim they can. It is extraordinarily difficult, expensive and a fool's errand. Having the humility to accept this will do wonders for your ability to accumulate wealth.
- I don't favor indexing just because it is easier, although it is. Or because it is simpler, although it is that too. I favor it because it is more effective and more powerful in building wealth than the alternatives.
- Before you start trying to pick individual stocks and/or fund managers ask yourself this simple question: "Am I Warren Buffett?" If the answer is "no," keep your feet firmly on the ground with indexing.
