Parent has literally no idea what he's talking about. Investing in indexes has always worked. Always. Over all time periods. Since they existed.


All 20-30 years? Believe it or not, the history of investment spans more than the last 25 years. Also, there are some questions regarding the liquidity of ETFs during a major crash/selling session. It’s possible there could be a feedback loop of selling to deal with cashing out that results in price of the ETF going below net asset value.


Well indexes are a relatively new product (less than 100 years old).
