投资指数？

1. 投资没什么规模限制，钱多多做些，钱少少做些，投资的原则是一样的。专门做“投资”是一件挺痛苦的事，因为你必须要有年度目标，然后你就不得不看市场的眼色去投机了。如果你真是刚刚入门的话，还是不要考虑专门投资的好。先拿些不会要命的闲钱去感觉一下，3年5年或10年8年后你自然会有结论的。

Investing in the index?

1. There's no size limit on investing: if you have more money, do more; if you have less, do less; the principles of investing are the same. Doing "investing" as a full-time job is quite a painful thing, because you have to have annual targets, and then you have no choice but to watch the market's mood and speculate. If you're really just starting out, it's better not to think about investing full-time. First take some spare money whose loss won't kill you and get a feel for it; after 3 or 5 years, or 8 or 10, you'll naturally reach a conclusion.

2. I personally think you should understand companies more. Of course other things affect a company's short-term profit, but if you look over 5 or 10 years, you'll find that macro things affect a company much less than you'd imagine.

3. It seems Buffett said long ago that for most investors, investing in the index when the index is cheap is the best way. I agree.
