Has anyone found a good mutual fund that matches Dave Ramsey's recommendations? I've always dumped into an s&p500 index fund, but have some time to explore other options. Curious where to start.

Why? I always considered his investment advice terrible. He sells snake oil funds with high load fees and expense ratios.

Dr always struck me as a low iq individual who just bought houses and got rich during the economic boom periods.
And snp500 index is just fine. If you want more aggressive then go growth index.

I see no reason whatsoever to look for an actively managed fund that beats passive index funds on a long term basis.

Don’t follow DR’s investment advice. His stuff is great for getting out of debt. Check out “The Simple Path to Wealth” if you want good index fund reading.

Google search it. Buy when the market is trending higher sell when it’s trending lower - momentum investing through high volume etfs.

I'm going heavy with QQQ in my non 401K account for the next 5+ years probably. It's had better returns than SP500 over past decade

Can’t only 3% of analysts actually beat the market?

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.
