Ask HN: How do you invest in companies on the public markets?

1 pointforkLding2 comments

Young software developer with a more aggressive risk tolerance looking for long investment opportunities and was wondering how experienced individuals here invested on the markets, this is just so I can get some advice on hopefully enjoying a good retirement and general life.

Much thanks!

I'm not buying stocks directly. I have neither the knowledge nor the time to study the financial results and business model of each company I would potentially be interested in. I'm putting a fixed amount of money in trackers every month (and that amount is a fixed percentage of my monthly savings). I've selected the trackers by reading their fact sheets and checking their fees.
