Have you ever heard of the phrase 'Don't Time the Market'?

Passive Investing was perhaps based on the logic of NOT timing the market but the importance of time IN the market.

Passive Investing / Index Investing or what I prefer to call Automatic or Automated Investing is not something new. These terms have been used interchangeably but it is important you know and understand what you are getting into. Don't do it just because someone else says so.

Hey it's called passive investing. Not blur or blindly investing.

When you invest passively, you invest with a long-term focus. (Usually 10 years or more)

You ignore the short-term market ups and downs. You have enough time on the horizon to ride out the waves of volatility in the market. Because in the long run, the market always goes up.

You focus on the overall time in the market.
