I invested an early inheritance into a mutual fund during the 'Liberation Day' dip, and it's doing quite well.
I've been putting money into it every paycheck, but I want to start investing more (much more if I can get away with it), and I'm trying to figure out where to go from here.
The online advice is to 'keep it simple' and 'set it and forget it', which tempts me to just stick to what I'm doing.
But I'm also told that 'diversification is the only free lunch in investing', and I don't want to miss out if my find is underperforming... not that I'd pull that money out--I'm also told that cashing out too often is also a bad idea.
So where do I go from here? All I really want in life now is to invest everything I can comfortably afford to, earn an average stock market return (6%-7% annually averaged out, right?), and become an adult my nephews can be proud of by the time they're old enough to have opinions.
Thank you for your advice.
