Is Long-Term Investing a Scam?

Since 1950, the S&P 500 has crashed by 10% or more every 1.84 years on average.
Yet, retail investors are told to "stay the course," and "invest for the long term," while Wall Street insiders consistently profit from these downturns.
Think about this…
The 2008 financial crisis saw a 57% plummet in the S&P 500, while March 2020 brought a 34% drop in just one month.
And when your portfolio loses 50% in a crash, you need a 100% gain just to break even – not counting inflation or lost time. Uncover Market Crash Secrets
There is also the fee factor in all of this.
For instance, in 2019 alone investors paid $13.6B in mutual fund and ETF fees—fees that get charged whether you make money or lose it.
What if the traditional "buy and hold" strategy is actually working against you?
