Lucas Daignault likes to check his E*Trade account before going to school or after his shift at the supermarket. More days than not recent, it shows a sea of red.
Daignault, who just turned 18, is mostly invested in a fund that tracks the S&P 500 index. The index does not. Its worst start to a year for more than five decades, but he didn’t try to notice it. His strategy is to put about $500 per month in his brokerage account and he has no plans to stop.
