Well that is the mathematical average of all comers. Yes, all. A rare few may do better than the average even over the long haul. Nope. A rare few may do better over the short and and intermediate runs. This is well demonstrated by the failure of 99% of fund managers to outperform the SP500. Next period, the remaining 1% fail. I would expect to be one of those few. That's why you invented your self-serving conclusion. You'll have good years and bad years. In the long run you'll just relearn what all who survive learn. My current 'asset allocation' is that my largest position is a beer and pizza restaurant I have owned shares in for about 6 years, That is a different kind of investment. You become more directly involved, so you are inside. My comments refer to investment in public companies by non-insiders. next largest is a tiny tech company no one has yet heard of, Good luck. You need insider status to survive there. then oil and gas including oil sands, and some metals. Not much else. I'm losing the marginal interest I had in metals. Oil sands = a losing proposition. It's a lose - lose deal. Better be ready to apply the 5% rule.
