If You Want to Beat Wall Street, Here's the Best Way to Invest
Wall Street is full of smart people who are paid extremely well to analyze a handful of companies and the industries in which they operate. Professional investment firms have whole teams dedicated to making financial decisions in order to generate the best risk-adjusted returns possible for their clients.
If you think you can do better than Wall Street in any given year, you're probably mistaken. The stock market is an information game. You don't have the same time and resources as Wall Street pros to dedicate to uncovering and analyzing new information as it becomes available. The odds of outperforming in a single year aren't great.
But you, as an individual investor, have an advantage over Wall Street. You can play a different game.
