Own the market
Broad index funds hold thousands of companies, so no single stock can sink you.
Keep costs low
Fees are one of the few things you control. A fraction of a percent compounds into six figures.
Stay the course
Pick a sensible stock/bond mix, rebalance occasionally, and ignore the noise.
