From this point of view, it is less difficult to invest in funds than in stocks, because the fluctuation range of buying a single stock is 20%, while the fluctuation range of buying a basket of stocks is always less than 20%, so the risk of buying a fund is much smaller.
Although you don't know the price when you buy a fund, you can make a judgment according to the trend of the index on that day. For example, when the price goes up or down 1%, the fund will definitely accept the impact of the decline and then call back, which gives you a signal to buy. On the other hand, when your fund starts to have positive returns, you can pay attention to the market trend, set a harvest percentage for your fund, such as 15%, and sell it decisively at the close.
To put it bluntly, although the fund market is not immediate, there is not much delay.
