<<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 think there is a potential difference here between an individual versus a fund manager. I think to make it longer term you have to be able and willing to completely reinvent your investing strategy as conditions change. A fund manager has constrains that might make this impossible to do to the degree that might be neccesary. I can go from my current portfolio to 100% technology or 100% cash in a day or two if I really wanted to. <<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>> Well, yes, and yes...I am currently waiting with terror and anxiety for the next axe to drop, lol. <<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>> Well it has been a publically traded company although it also started out very small. I was not an insider but studied hard, and of course luck I am sure had much to do with it. Tech stock is similar situation...still waiting to see if the good luck arrives...at least no bad luck so far. What do see as the fatal flaw for oilsands?
