      I don’t. I do it the boring way - buying cheap, highly diversified ETF index funds.

          1. Open a Vanguard account.
          2. Buy as much of the thing called VOO as you can each month.
          3. Come back at retirement age to oodles of money.

          Mutual funds and ETFs are both types of investments that represent a group of individual stocks and are generally managed in some way, either by a person or by a fixed algorithm. Mutual funds have some tax implications that can by annoying for people so ETFs tend to be preferred for taxable accounts (in the US at least).
