Value investors will naturally underperform during bull markets, particularly long-in-the-tooth bull markets, b/c we are risk-averse. There are fewer opportunities that meet our rigorous criteria for commitment of capital, thus we sit and wait, even if it is painful to watch the indexes "outperform" in the short-run. Don't pay attention to the indexes as a benchmark, however; pay attention to your own long-run gains. Absolute performance means much more than relative performance. Preserve capital, keep dry powder on-hand, and load-up when opportunities are plentiful.
