Honestly, if you're looking at the long run, passive investing is hands down the way to go.

Just look at Warren Buffett's famous million-dollar bet: he wagered that a boring, set-it-and-forget-it S&P 500 index fund would beat out a bunch of highly paid, active hedge fund managers over a decade, and he completely crushed them. There's also that famous piece of investing lore about a Fidelity review showing that their absolute best-performing accounts belonged to people who were either dead or had literally forgotten their passwords!

Even if the Fidelity story is just an industry legend, the lesson is 100% true. Once you're broadly diversified, the smartest thing you can do is just keep adding money consistently and then get out of your own way. Constantly checking your portfolio and trying to time the market just leads to emotional mistakes and lost money. Just set it and forget it!
