Activity vs. Investment Results

When done correctly, investing is a place where you get rewarded for being lazy.

That may seem counterintuitive because we’ve been trained to think that when we do more, we get more. That activity = results.

But investing is a do-less proposition because of the power of compounding.?

The next time you’re tempted to do something, don’t.

If it compounds, let it.
