<<I got the feeling that beating the SP500 index wasn't so difficult if one uses the "modern portfolio theory" and diversifies into many equity types. SV, SG, LG, LV, International, etc., etc., etc.>>

--Actually, that stuff didn't help at all in 2008. Value and International got crushed much worse than the S&P.

The thing that really hurt me in 2008 was that I was TOO widely diversified into things like commondities, international, etc. and was mostly in value-oriented mutual funds.
