The Art of Lazy Ass Passive Investing

Many people not understanding investing well enough believe to become a successful investor means becoming increasingly active. By doing so, their overreaching activism will become counterproductive and work against their money eventually.

As an investor, you need to give your money the opportunity to work for you. And the best way to do that is by leaving it alone. Just like you wouldn’t want your boss micromanaging you at work, your money doesn’t want to be micromanaged by you either.

So let it do “its thing” and don’t worry about it too much.

This seems so simple yet is so difficult.

In the world of investing, there is a lot of talk about being active. Many people believe that to be a successful investor, you have to be constantly buying and selling stocks, monitoring the market, and staying up-to-date on the latest news.

The real key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them.

Learn to ignore the activism, learn to ignore the noise from the media.

Learn to do more of nothing.

“They” think that by doing more, their money will grow more.
