Good point. Now it does make sense. I know the secret to the perpetual motion machine now.

Okay so individual stocks then. But the advice is for index funds I think. But good on you if it works. I wouldn’t try to predict individual stocks personally, too much stress and probably won’t do it better than randomly guessing.

Why do you look at your investments? What do you do with the information? I don’t want to predict the market and I can’t. Looking at it is more likely to make you panic buy/sell than make you do anything useful. But I’m curious why you don’t agree with the advice.
