Thank you! I don't plan to beat the market. At first my plans are to not lose too much. After that to win more often than I lose.
I am not a great poker player, but since I got better than the average I am winning more often than I lose while playing poker and that is enough for me.
So if I will correctly evaluate my chances in more than 50% of cases, at least I won't be losing.
Maybe investing in a passive index fund is better as a long term strategy and I might buy some with 90% of my money while still trying my chance at buying stocks with the other 10%.
