Those basics don't make the big money to investment companies. If you can be talked into trading money around often they make more money on those trades.
Index funds outperform most actively managed funds, last I checked. In most cases you'd be outperforming professional investors just by sticking with the S&P 500.
Yeah, it's possible to be the 1% of traders who can outperform the S&P 500...but very unlikely especially if you look at long periods of time.
And the post is about "self-driving money" rather than active trading. In that case, an index fund that tracks the S&P 500 is basically self-driving money.
