Can I ignore index funds when investing in passive long-term growth?
Asked 4 years ago
I am very new to market investments and stocks. My goal is to invest passively for long-term growth, not trading actively. I learned that stocks are the best, the second-best is ETFs, and then index funds are the least recommended. Is that correct?

No.
Index funds are good for the long term because of their passive investment strategy and low costs.
Also, with index funds you don't need to hire someone to be selecting the stocks.
They are especially ideal for retirement investment.
Some of the index funds to consider are S&P 500, Fidelity 500 Index and Vanguard.
