and yet we persist in making predictions. :)

We have no choice. No matter what one's outlook is based on (TA , FA or plain LTB&H) it all starts with some kind of basic assumptions. I was never that impressed with beating any particular index. The lack of trading costs and etc. give the indexes a significant advantage when the market is in a strong upswing. In a down market its just the opposite. The indexes can't dump poorly performing stocks (This week CSCO) whereas individuals and Mutual Funds can do so easily.

I have reconciled myself to the fact that my life was meant to be a struggle. Whatever was meant to come easily to me , came and went unnoticed.
