People gain in excess of the indices all the time, I did myself for the first 13 years of my investing career when I knew a tenth of what I know now. Examine how the "market mavens" do this. You think they do it by "timing the market" or making short term guesses in terms of where stocks are going on a five minute chart?

For the most part Peter Lynch out performed the market indices for years and years with a monster fund by mercilessly selling his losers and steadfastly holding as well as buying on the way up on his winners. I don't think there was a stock in the indices the guy didn't own at one time.
