A short time ago, I shared some things a new investor might want to know or be mindful of as they start their financial freedom journey.  On that note, I believe some investing advice never goes go out of style, there are some investing truths to behold.
Here are my investing truths you can take to the bank:

All investing is subject to risk – even the safest investments have some risk.
Past performance is not a predictor of any future result.
In a diversified portfolio gains from some investments will help offset losses from others.
No matter how good you think you are as an investor, you cannot control your portfolio’s returns.
In order of long-term returns, cash has appreciated less than bonds and bonds have appreciated less than stocks.
The stock market is very unpredictable in the short-term but rather predictable in the long-term.
Every investor should focus on limiting mistakes because there is no perfect portfolio.
Somebody will always outperform you – accept it.

Do you have any investing truths to share?
Thanks for reading…
