No one seems to know.

It's hard to go wrong with that advice from TheBigFella (hard, not impossible).
It's a bit over my head even with his breakdown. Can someone ELI5? (Explain like I'm five)
To me, all he's saying to do is buy stock in a company that is bound to grow, and add money each month. That about it?

He's saying that cigarette, soda, and companies that sell consumer staples (things people will buy in a good economies and recessions), will always keep churning out cash to shareholders in dividends. Also, he likes companies that have WORLD markets.
Insert my words: companies like Google and Apple while very powerful aren't selling technology to people living in mud huts in the Sudan. However people in Sudan do smoke and probably drink Coke.
Parts of the developing world are beginning to use deodorant and become more hygienic. Hello Procter and Gamble!

If it's a long term investment I suggest not checking it too often
It will drive you crazy
Agree 100%. I used to be signed up to get regular email updates from my retirement funds until I cancelled it. Following them on a weekly basis was not healthy and was giving me the urge to fiddle, which is a waste of time at best and potential disaster at worst.

Yep, I would check my investment and retirement accounts DAILY! I would update my spreadsheet DAILY! The past 3 months I have went to monthly so I am getting better, but I do still follow the markets daily, just don't worry about my account value much.

Yeah, no way, me either. I have about 20-25 so I am in for the long haul. But damn, some days get depressing. I could not imagine having the amount some people have in the markets and watching the daily swings, or having a week like they have had the past week or two.

if I had 10k with VFINX at $180 and it's at $173, take the 10k and buy at the 173 so I have more shares?
Let us know how this works out
