For future posts, don't plagiarize material, but if you'd like to share writing that other people made, follow this guideline:

Quote say the first paragraph or so, like this:

The term 'Couch Potato' is perfectly defined by the Urban Dictionary as:

“A lazy person who does nothing but sit on the couch and watch television.”

It comes with fantastic synonyms like: slacker, lazy, bum and slug.

That doesn’t sound too much like a life goal, but it actually does present a viable strategy for investing. A couch potato investor would be a passive investor who deals with his investments once a year. The rest of the year, this investor may or may not contribute to their investments and they may or may not even care to see how their investments are performing. How could this possibly be a good strategy?
