Can we change our approach on financial markets?

Can we beat Mr. Market in the long run in his own game? If yes, why there is so little guys who do that constantly. If no, why so many people try to do that (with active trading) everyday on financial markets all around globe? 

The Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) said no! You can not beat the Market! Do not even try. More details about EMH here and here. The efficient markets hypothesis suggests that profiting from predicting price movements is very difficult and unlikely. 

Look again at the photo above! And one more time. To be sure, look again. Maybe, one more ... Ok, that's enough. You catch the point. 

So, if we (almost all of us) can not beat the Market, what can we do? On our luck there are lot of low cost ETFs, like: SPDR S&P 500 (SPY), Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), NASDAQ-100 Index (QQQ), iShares Russell 1000 ETF (IWB), iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV), Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), Total World Stock Index ETF (VT), Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT), etc.
