S&P has beat both of those handily so you are better off just investing in the market and not paying Eddie


I have no idea what invest in the market means outside of having an E*trade account and buying stocks. I thought that is what I was doing by having a 401k and a Roth with EJ.

I’m down like 80% on my E*trade account that I tried to buy stocks in so I’m not doing that shite again. I rode DWAC and AMC up and didn’t take profits so now I’m way down. Thats the main reason I don’t mess with this shite and just let someone else handle it.

He means investing it on your own in an S&P index fund instead of paying Eddie to invest it in junk that won’t perform as well

Just invest in ticker VOO which is Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF. Mimics the S&P at a low cost. Low cost and is up 30% y/y and 80% over 5 years.

Thats what I meant by just investing in the market at large, sorry wasn’t clear.
