I'm not A1 but I will tell you what I have learned. Time in the market beats timing the market and if you aren't sure what to invest in, a S&P500 Index Fund is generally the safest option with the least amount of work on your part. Most "professional" financial advisors can't outperform those S&P500 index funds consistently. Don't panic sell when the market is down, you haven't actually lost money until you sell. In fact view the market going down as a chance to buy stocks, shares, bonds, and etc. as if they are "on sale" so when the market does recover you will get back what lost when the market went down. Plus what you invested "on sale" will be even more profitable for you when the market recovers than if the market had stayed steady the whole time. One last thing, make sure you understand what you are investing in. Like if you buy Ford, Tesla, Chevy, or another car company's stock, you understand what a car is and how they make money by selling those cars.
