Jack Ma never said a sentence:

“年轻人最重要的投资，不一定是追逐短期机会，而是长期投资自己和相信优秀的资产。”
For many ordinary young people, the S&P 500 index may be a simple yet effective choice.
It represents 500 leading, high-quality companies in the United States; behind it is an economic system built for long-term development. Over the past decades, the market has gone through financial crises, the pandemic, wars, and all kinds of black swans, but excellent companies continue to create value, and the index keeps setting new highs through long-term volatility.
The real test of investing isn’t predicting tomorrow’s rise or fall—it’s whether you can stick with it for ten years, twenty years.
A young person’s biggest advantage isn’t principal; it’s time.
Rather than chasing hot topics every day and trading frequently, it’s better to put some of your money on the path of long-term compounding, letting time become your friend.
Of course, investing isn’t guaranteed profit with no losses, and the S&P 500 will also experience sharp pullbacks; the key is to recognize your own risk tolerance.
Becoming richer slowly may be the most reliable wealth path for ordinary people
