Buy high sell low, that's my strategy and it's working great 🤑😎

Well, that is the strategy of the average active investor.

Do not be the average active investor.

People who say index funds are the same type or person who would have suggested certificates of deposit 30 years ago. Neither will beat the market, ever.

Invest with someone who has fiduciary responsibility and pay the same fees as a index fund but beat the market.

No need to beat the market. And no active investor is going to charge the same as an index fund.
