I think I have learned everything about investing

1. Three in five fund managers can't even beat the index

2. Index funds beat active 90% of the time.’[1]

Proof here

1. Time In The Market, Not Timing The Market, you basically won't ever lose money in the long run because we'll always reach another ATH sooner or later

If active investing can't beat the market, anyone who deviates their portfolio from benchmark SPX is basically a moron, as long as you are inflation hedged (via bonds and gold) and find the lowest expense ratios (I recommend Vanguard) and invest in stocks that pays a great dividend you are basically compounding your returns every quarter
