What People Get Wrong About Investing
Misinformation is one of the biggest obstacles for new investors. Here are four of the most persistent myths — and the facts that set the record straight.
Myth
You need a massive amount of capital to start investing.
Consistency and compounding matter more than initial capital. Small, regular investments often outperform delayed lump sums.
Myth
Timing the market is the key to high returns.
Predicting market tops and bottoms is statistically impossible. "Time in the market beats timing the market."
Myth
A falling market means you're losing money.
Volatility is a feature, not a bug. Unrealized losses only become real if you panic sell during a downturn.
Myth
All debt is inherently bad for your wealth.
Understanding the difference between high-interest consumer debt and strategic leverage is a core financial skill.
