  • Can you lose money with index funds? You can lose money with index funds if you panic sell when the overall market is down. Index funds are unique in that a broad-based index fund doesn't change very often, but it does adjust when companies go bankrupt and another company comes and takes its place. Index funds are probably the best example of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to investing that will work well for 99% of people. One big fear that every new investor has is losing money, and it's a scary possibility when you closely follow the stock market's day-to-day fluctuations.

    does the time you purchase matter... i.e. if the market is low when i invest in index funds will I see larger gains over time or does it really not matter and just track the overall market. Thanks so much for the advice!

      Assuming the market will return to its peak and beyond then yes it is better to buy low. however, that is market timing and market timing is extremely difficult/near impossible. It's generally better to continuously invest for the super long-term (lifetime). I hope this helps! :)

      Sorry, I don't know the specifics of investing in your country...There are many different countries in Africa, and I would think that the answer would differ drastically between many of them.

    As long as one reminds oneself that the money one is investing in the long range account(s) won’t be needed (because you carefully planned it that way) until age 50 or 60 or 70, then the emotional endurance side of investing is easier.

      What do you think about creating an account drawdown strategy video? Do you think there are enough people interested in it, because I know you and I are!

    A friend told me that when indexes lose value, they are "on sale." This is based on the historic trend that the market will recover. I plan to buy into the S&P this month.

      That is the way I see it as well. Always look for the positives. If you are investing for the long run then buying shares as soon as you can is always a smart move!
