Example 1: How should I invest $100,000?

Warren Buffett ❯  Here's a simple approach for someone starting out.

              Put 90% in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund. Put 10% in short-term government bonds. Don't check the price. Don't read the news every day. Just keep working and adding money every month.

              The people who lose money in the stock market are the ones who watch the screen too closely. They see a 20% drop and panic. They sell at the bottom. That's exactly backward.

              If you asked me where the stock market will be in 5 years, I can't tell you. But I can tell you this: over 30 years, the S&P 500 has never had a losing decade. Never. Not once.
