But too many invests succumb to the high-risk pursuit of beating the market by trying to pick winners, predict price trends, otherwise find opptunities that other invests have missed.


Today, millions of people in all walks of life are invested in the stock market through brokerage accounts and retirement plans such as IRAs and 401(k)s. What to buy and when to sell stocks are up to each invest, who often feels besieged by conflicting advice. The wisest approach is to understand exactly what the stock market is and how it wks, appreciating such basic facts as these:

* Facts of success: Many people focus on increasing their rate of return on stocks, which is
hard to do without taking substantial risks. It's much safer to focus on two other facts
that affect how much money you earn.
* No free lunch: You can't make much money in the stock market if you miss the handful of
best trading days of each year, which are unpredictable. But if you stay invested so that you
enjoy the good days, you'll experience some hrible days too-because there's no free
lunch.
* Above all, diversify: Diversification is the closest thing to a free lunch in investing. Just
holding three different stocks instead of one decreases ptfolio variation by about 40% on
average. That's a significant reduction in risk that doesn't cost anything in terms of
expected returns.
