I believe that good investing is done with a long term objective and a low cost focus. Having a consistent philosophy, a good process, and the discipline to stay with the whole thing is the key to having good results over the long term. There will be good times and bad, but whether one is buying stocks, bonds, ETFs, or mutual funds, what matters most is a strategy you can stick with.
