Don't Buy Individual Stocks as a Beginner Investor

If you are a new investor and just getting started investing in the stock market, you need to watch this video! In his book "Reboot your Portfolio", author Dan Bortolotti, shares 9 steps to successfully investing with ETFs and why reliably picking stocks that will outperform the market is extremely difficult and unduly risky, and the evidence is overwhelming that most investors lack the skill and discipline to do so. As I reflect on my experience investing in the market, I show you why I for one would have been better off if I invested through broad-market, low cost index funds/ETFs, than trying to pick winning stocks. I also share the key parts from chapters 1 and 2 of Dan's book which stood out the most for me, and provide a transparent look into the $642,000 investment portfolio that my wife and I have.
