S&P 500 Resources
If
you want to be lazy about long-term investing in stocks, then invest in the S&P 500. Blindly investing in the S&P 500 offers you the best return on human-time-investment possible. Divide your portfolio's
long-term annual return by the amount of time you devote to investing, and the return on human-time-investment is awesome with the S&P 500 (you minimize the time needed to research stocks, check your portfolio, and
buying and selling stocks by investing in the S&P 500 rather than a handful of individual stocks). When you invest in the S&P 500, you are choosing an investment that has performed extremely well in the past
