How so? The article shows how NOT using an index fund hurts.


Rather, I think the article is showing us how not being informed hurts. It took them 10 years to understand what was happening with their money? Unacceptable.

Learning how investing works, breaking out of the pie-chart bs sent to you in your nice quarterly statements and really understanding how your money is invested.... Like i said, I don't have an opinion on where you put your money but I think the idea that you can hand it over and never think twice because you're in a low-cost fund is misguided.
