I've heard that the stock market has a negative return over the long term, what is the best way to invest?

The stock market can have both positive and negative returns over the long-term. It depends on the overall performance of the market and the individual stocks you are investing in. Investing in index funds or mutual funds may help mitigate some of the risk associated with investing in individual stocks. Additionally, it is important to research any investments thoroughly before making them.
