For individual investors, risk-free investment money is fantasy money - Personal Financial Planning > Financial Decision Rules - Financial Articles, Investments with low risk and high returns are just fantasies. No risk free investment money is consistently and reliably available to individuals. Luck dominates skill in the securities markets. Clever investment selection is vastly over hyped, and only the promoters tend to benefit. On average over long periods, investors get paid risk premiums, because they put their money at risk. If they control their costs, they get to keep most of these risk premiums.

How can individual investors trust, when so much investment information is rubbish? - Personal Investment Management > Scientific Investment Best Practices Articles - Financial Articles, Investing evokes a very wide variety of thoughts, emotions, and motivations. Conversations, the media, and popular literature contain significant unverified, biased, false, and sometimes simply ridiculous investment information. When such information is superficially plausible, it seems especially easy for erroneous beliefs to perpetuate and become part of widespread investment folklore. The Skilled Investor dubs such supposed investment information as “rubbish.”

Is the average individual investor portfolio well diversified? - Personal Investment Management > Investment Asset Diversification Articles -- Reducing Your Portfolio Risk - Financial Articles, No, the average investor is not at all well diversified. Instead of investing in broadly diversified index funds or across a large number of individual securities, many individual investors concentrate investments in a very small number of equities. This lack of diversification causes most individual investors to underperform a passive market return, while they suffer greater price volatility.

Own investment funds and not individual securities - Personal Financial Planning > Financial Decision Rules - Financial Articles, Owning individual securities is just a big waste of your time and money.
