      My personal (perhaps controversial) take on investing is that you shouldn't buy a specific stock if you're not able to articulate an elevator pitch about what the company does, why it enjoys an unfair advantage, and why it's going to be a clear winner. If you can't, buy an ETF.

      Also, you're not super likely to be able to articulate a good pitch unless you work in the same industry or you just spend a lot of time researching companies. Which is why, for the large majority of people, indexes are the best option to beat the game.

          This is the best wisdom out there. Same thing Warren Buffet advocates: invest in what you understand. Start locally. Build dollar by dollar. Play long term accumulative games.

          You can have all that knowledge and still not have the risk tolerance for individual equities.

          Controversial indeed. My learning has been that this advice is lesson#1 and is best combined with "invest & forget your password". Doesn't work for short or medium term. And is not necessarily the "best way to make most money" from capital markets.

          I would add that you should also be able to articulate a pitch for an ETF or an index fund (if it's not a traditional index) - more importantly why that and not anything else.

          By definition indexes can't beat the game.
