I look forward to seeing what people here are doing, as we have such a broad range on the board.

There are no tricks.   If you try to beat the market, odds are very heavy that you will fail.   I learned that a long time ago. 

My strategy for the stock market is to buy index funds and hold them forever.  Never sell.   Go play golf.   It works really well.  

When you gamble, the most likely winner is the house.  So don't play that game.   Don't trade, don't time the market, don't let anyone tell you they can beat the market, and don't think you can beat the market. 

No one ever believes this, so go ahead and lose some money, but just think about what you're doing and what you want to do with your life.
