Here's what I learned as a Finance major in college. Are you ready for it?

The secret to investing is to put your money in a no-load index fund. The next part is very important: add as much as you can to it every year, and don't touch it until you retire. You will outperform something like 99.99999% of managed funds over that time. You will outperform 99.9999999% of active investors. Literally doing anything else has a much closer chance to 100% than what I have quoted above that you will underperform the index fund strategy.
