People think in the investing and stock market is you always have to be doing something.

You always have to be trading, you always have to be buying a new stock or selling a new stock

or being very active in your portfolios.

And really, a boring do nothing strategy is probably one of the best.

I'm Chris Hill and that's Motley Fool's Senior Analysts and Meet Dayo.

If you don't find investing very fun, that might actually be a good thing.

Sierra Baldwin caught up with Dayo to discuss how to make investing less exciting,

some basic ETFs to consider, and some boring companies with market-beating returns.

A lot of people associate investing with the excitement of buying and selling stocks

based on market trends and buzzy technologies that promise big returns.

We saw a lot of that during the pandemic, but I'm wondering should investing be fun and

exciting?

It's an interesting question because while the natural answer is yes, it should be

fun and exciting.

The real answer if you want to make true long-term wealth in the stock market is it shouldn't

be that fun and exciting.

It's actually very boring.

You should almost not think about it too much.

You should buy good companies for the long term that compound and not think about it too

much.

So, fun and exciting comes when you go out into the out years, you made tons of money.

So, fun and exciting can work out thinking about companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Tesla.
