| Apr 23, 2018 at 20:27 | comment | added | Kevin | "The market has to work by people being active." That's largely irrelevant to the question—other people doing work doesn't make it less passive for the passive investor. I transfer money in every few months, pass on some tax forms to my accountant once a year, and watch the numbers grow. There's not much more passive than that, especially as a way to make money. | |
