Kidl, You are not a traditional or typical investor. Having earned nearly 18% ave. annual return places you in the investment stratosphere. Congratulations! When I said that the traditional investor has made little or no money, I was thinking of the average fund/retirement investor. A Dalbar study (April 2011) states that the average equity investor over the past 20 years has an ave. return of 3.83%, and the average asset allocated fund investor earned 2.56%. This is pitiful. Fixed income returned 1.01% compared to the Barclays Agg. Bond Index of 6.86%. Again, pitiful. You’re right; we all do our own thing. Your “thing” works for you and I wish you continued success.
