On the part of investments,
Index-tracking funds or ETFs while generally may beat 95% of the mutual funds in the long run but there are some stellar active-managed funds that out-perform.
The mutual fund universe numbers in 4-digit figure, so perhaps you might want to explore a little bit more.
ETFs or mutuals funds are also but a fraction of investment tools available in the market.
Also on the point of staying vested and not taking panic to volatility in the market while it generally holds true, there are much better ways to manage a portfolio.
A few classic examples of when staying vested even in the long run can turn out to be a disaster.
1) Dot.com burst in 2001, still in the doldrums
2) Japan equity market since the 1990s
The world of investments is a much bigger oyster than what has been discussed here, tools available are much more than your run-of-the-mill ETFs/REITS/UTs/Stocks etc
