Comment on Ask HN: How to make the best of the Mega IPO/ Index fund debacle?parent

Comments

never buy index funds. this is what wealthy will tell you but none of them own index funds. how many of sp500 companies are doing great these days, growing, profitable…? 5% maybe. my financial well-being has dramatically changed since I stopped buying index funds 9 years ago. bunch of “smart” people will tell you “oh this is risky, bla bla” and it sure might be but while you might end up “rich” with index funds you won’t get wealthy. I will never again spend a penny in index funds (I am self-employed and manage my own i401k)
