Step 1 : Active Investors |
| |
| |
| |
Welcome
to the 12 Step Program to Index Funds. We start
the journey by asking, "what is an active
investor?"
Step 1 helps you recognize the behaviors and
thoughts of active investors. The first indication
of an active investor is a stressed disposition
and a below market performance. |

Step 1 : Program Overview |
| |
| |
| |
The
first step on the index funds journey is
to recognize active investor behavior. If
all investors were lined up in a row, could
the active investors be identified? Active
investors actively engage in stock picking,
time picking (market timing), manager picking,
and style picking. |

What is Index Funds Investing ?
As opposed to active managers, investment
managers of index funds are far less active
in the buying and selling of stocks, because
they do not pick stocks or managers, time
markets, pick styles, or make attempts to
forecast the future. |
