In this video, we rank all 30 investing rules using one measuring stick: how many months each decision adds to—or removes from—your money’s doubling time.

You’ll see how asset allocation, investment fees, index funds, financial advisors, taxes, market timing, panic selling, employer matching, high-interest debt, and 401(k) decisions affect long-term wealth. Some rules change the speed of compounding. Others only change the size of the portfolio. Many popular rules barely change anything at all.
Four decisions account for roughly nine years of combined impact on the doubling clock. The other 26 together are worth less than half as much.

By the end, you’ll know which investing decisions deserve immediate attention—and which personal finance debates are mostly noise.
