Day traders, beware. There’s an ever-growing mountain of evidence that even the most sophisticated professionals can’t consistently outperform the market — most of them don’t even beat index fund benchmarks in any given single year. If you plan to figure out which days stocks will rise and fall, it might be time to consider a new strategy.
Luckily, there are investment strategies that don’t require you to perfectly predict the stock market, but they’ll still deliver fantastic returns regardless of timing.
