Explained in plain English

Can I do it myself?

Absolutely! Doing it yourself, or 'DIY investing', means you choose and manage your own investments rather than paying a professional. With passive investing, you might pick an index fund that tracks something like the Nasdaq 100, which SpaceX just joined. This way, you get exposure to many companies without needing to research each one individually.

Stories that explain this

SpaceX shares entered Nasdaq 100 following rule changes.
