>> Ignoring benchmarks is stupid when you can put money into index fund and get that return instead of underperforming for years. It is even more stupid if you could put 80% of money into index fund, 20% into cash for a crash and still outperform your "active" strategy.

I don't agree with all of the article either. And I agree if you think that you cannot beat an index, than you should invest in the index and save your efforts. My point was that investing in dividend / income, and being satisfied with that level of income, allows me to make my 6% and (try to) ignore benchmarks.
