The simplest way to own the stock market is to hold the classic S&P 500 Index fund. But I now recommend a total stock market index fund that includes virtually every stock in the U.S. market. Why? Because it eliminates the risk that the S&P 500—largely composed of giant companies—will falter, while smaller- and mid-sized stocks thrive.

I Will Teach You To Be Rich

By Ramit Sethi (Personal finance expert, entrepreneur, founder of GrowthLab)
