Investing with the Automatic Pilot | The Escape Artist

Investing with the Automatic Pilot | The Escape Artist



The pilot analogy even works for the active versus passive debate.  A Vanguard index fund is like catching a scheduled flight on a Boeing 747 guided by autopilot – its a cost effective and rational choice.  A bit boring, but you’ll get to the destination safely.  Picking individual stocks is more like flying your own private jet – only sensible for the minority of people with the resources to do this safely.
