Ordinary people want to make money in the stock market, and there are actually only these 6 straightforward methods. No need to get complicated; just choose one and stick with it:

First, wait for a major crash to buy the index at the bottom.
Normally, go to work when you should, live your life when you should, and don't mess around—only use spare money.
When the market experiences a crash like a stock market disaster, such as the situation in September last year or April this year, buy broad-based ETFs.
No need to bother selecting individual stocks; making a 30%-40% profit in one market cycle is entirely possible.
