Trust the stock market’s long-term upward trend

Over the past century, the stock market has been the most powerful wealth-building tool ever invented. Despite crashes, recessions, and world wars, the total market trend never stopped climbing. It’s a self-cleansing ecosystem: failing companies drop away, new ones rise, and millions of dedicated employees innovate every day.

Imagine the market as a garden of wildflowers in perpetual bloom. Some wilting patches give way to fresh blossoms. In ’87, in 2000, again in 2008, the soil pulled nutrients down, but resilience always returned. History shows that if you simply plant seeds each month in that garden and walk away, you end up with an ever-bigger field.

Academic studies confirm there is no reliable way to time these blooms. Instead of chasing the next big gain or fearing the next crash, setting up routine investments in a broad index fund and reinvesting dividends harnesses the natural cycle of decline and renewal. The science is simple: time in market beats timing the market.

You’ll pick a broad index fund, automate monthly contributions of a fixed amount, and reinvest dividends automatically. Then, silence daily market noise—no alerts, no obsessive tracking. Check in once a quarter and watch your garden of wealth grow. This disciplined, hands-off approach captures the long-term upward trend without panic selling. Start your first automatic buy tonight.
