The stock market is (and has been) the single biggest contributor to wealth over time. Stock returns have outpaced those of cash, bonds, real estate, commodities, and collectibles. It’s not even close.

The stock market gets a bad reputation for being risky, confusing, and exclusive, but this is far from the truth and you can beat 90 percent of the pros by following just four simple rules:

1. Diversify using low-cost index funds.
2. Invest in consistent increments.
3. Stay invested over the long run.
4. Minimize fees and emotions.
