boglehead philosophy is phenomenal if you want consistent 6-10% annual returns.
If you want a shot at more, you've gotta find it on your own.
I've personally always been a buy and reinvest dividends type for the last 15 years. Recently I've been reading more and more about more aggressive strategies and I've found selling weekly puts can generate .5%-1% a week on stocks I would've bought anyways if it expires worthless and if I'm put the shares I'd get them at a price I liked anyways.
The more you think you know about investing, the less you really know, I've been around this stuff for a long time and I think boglehead philosophy is great if you want a hands off, peace of mind approach. There's no chance your investment goes to zero and it's easy to add funds monthly without paying commissions.
If you want to get rich following the boglehead way it is going to be mostly via your new cash deposits

Can you explain this? Then explain how much you make from doing this to see if it is worth investigating

The S&P 500, the most common index used for these purposes, hasnt had a return between 6-10% since 1992.

No, it's not like buying CDs or treasuries. You diversify across a large number of equities and accept their return. It's a hands off way to diversify the risk of purchasing single securities, which most individual investors are not capable of doing properly.

Not quite. You can leverage a porfolio of funds.
