Jon Stewart recently called out CNBC’s Jim Cramer on his stock-picking calls in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown. The lesson here is that buying individual stocks subjects you to massively more risk than owning “the whole market” via low-cost index funds (to the degree appropriate for you). Does anyone really need more risk than the overall market offers? I don’t think so.
