On all platforms, use clear language and concise structure. Tag posts appropriately for easy discovery. Use polls or questions to drive participation in comment-based platforms. Pin or highlight especially active Myth Buster threads to showcase quality discussions.
You can tailor the templates to address persistent myths, such as the belief that actively managed funds always outperform index funds. Highlight historical data, expense ratios, and long-term performance comparisons within your Myth Buster posts. This encourages group discussions grounded in market evidence and helps educate members about the realities of different investment vehicles.
Use the Myth Buster templates to create scenarios or examples where attempts at market timing have led to poor returns compared to a buy-and-hold strategy. Include statistics like the impact of missing the market's best days and reference well-known studies (e.g., Dalbar's investor behavior report) to reinforce the point. This will foster more informed, long-term thinking among members.
