5 common investment choices killing your returns

Historically, investing has proven to be one of the best ways to grow your wealth over time. This is particularly true when speaking about the stock market.

Take the S&P 500 index, which has seen an average annual return of around 10% since its inception in 1928. If you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in May 2014, for example, you’d have about $32,000 today if you reinvested dividends.
