Part One: Regular Investing
Investing is not easy, and successful investing is even harder. But just because something isn't easy doesn't mean there isn't a simple, direct, brutal and effective strategy that almost everyone can correctly master and deploy.
1.1 The Strategy and Results
Regular investing is quite simple:Regularly invest a set amount in a particular investment over a long period of time.
For example, every week (regularly) for the next five to ten years (a long period of time) invest 200 USD (a set amount) in BOX (a particular investment). Of course, you could change BOX to any investment that is worth investing in and holding over a long period of time, such as shares in Apple, Maotai, Coca-Cola, or an S&P 500 Index Fund.
Is such a simple strategy really effective? The numbers don't lie.Suppose you started investing in the S&P 500 on October 8th, 2007. Knowing what we know now, that seems to be the worst time to enter the market, because what immediately followed was the 2008 financial crisis, and it was that day that the stock market began to crash. So if you started investing $1,000 USD per week on that day...
What would the result be? Back on October 8th, 2007, it would be really hard to say. But looking at it from today, more than a decade later, the answer is clear: the results were fantastic! We experienced a crash in the market from $1,561 to a low of $683, but we kept buying at that low price. Later, the market recovered, and by October of 2019 the S&P 500 had exceeded $2,960.歷史數(shù)據(jù)來自于 Yahoo Finance (^GSPC)

第一部分:定投
投資并不容易，然而成功的投資更不容易。
盡管因?yàn)槟呈虏蝗菀?，那也不意味著不是大多?shù)人可以正確熟練掌握和有效利用的簡(jiǎn)單、直接、粗暴、有效的策略。
1.1策略與結(jié)果
定投非常簡(jiǎn)單:
定期地在特定的投資標(biāo)的中投入資金，并且長(zhǎng)期持續(xù)定投。
比如，你在5到10年里（很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，即長(zhǎng)期），每周定投200美元（定投量）的BOX（特定的投資標(biāo)的）。當(dāng)然，你也可以把BOX替換成任何有價(jià)值的標(biāo)的并且長(zhǎng)期持有，比如蘋果股票、茅臺(tái)股票、可口可樂股票、或者是標(biāo)普500指數(shù)基金。
如此簡(jiǎn)單定投策略果真有效嗎？
數(shù)據(jù)是并不會(huì)說謊。
假設(shè)你在2007年10月8號(hào)開始投資標(biāo)普500指數(shù)基金——我們現(xiàn)在知道那是入場(chǎng)最糟糕的時(shí)間，因?yàn)閺哪且惶扉_始股票市場(chǎng)一路暴跌，馬上就迎來了2008年的金融危機(jī)。
若是從那一天開始你每周定投1000美元的話……
結(jié)果會(huì)怎樣呢？回到2007年10月8號(hào)，當(dāng)時(shí)的情景很難說。但是以十年后的今天來看，答案很清楚:結(jié)果非常好。我們經(jīng)歷了標(biāo)普指數(shù)500基金從1561美元到683美元的暴跌，然而我們?nèi)匀怀掷m(xù)在低價(jià)時(shí)期購買。后來，在2019年10月市場(chǎng)恢復(fù)，標(biāo)普指數(shù)500基金超過2960美元。

第九句:Knowing what we know now（狀）, that（主）seems to be（謂）the worst time（賓） to enter the market（定）, because what immediately followed was the 2008 financial crisis, and it was that day that the stock market began to crash（狀從）.
