The first 10 years as an investor, starting at age 27, I lost a lot of money listening to financial advisors. Then I looked in the mirror and have been using that one for the past 4 decades with no regrets. Except one: I ventured out looking for 'professional advice' a few years ago on how to best position my portfolio in preparation for the coming inflation (completely predictable). All those advisors said, 'Buy the TIP etf.' Big mistake -- TIPs have done nothing even with massive inflation!
