JBE, Yes, you could do better with mutual funds. You can buy RYDEX NOVA to get 1.5 times SP500 return and RYDEX URSA which sells SP short. So you can try time the market if you want to. Also they have index funds to mach a few sectors including OSX, NASDAQ 100, and bonds.
Potomac funds are similar. People who run them left Rydex.
Remember, SP500 index regularly beats more then 80% managed funds. Probably you'll spend less time and resources and make more money.
But some people bought DEll in 1992... Or you can buy a few shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A if you are rich and BRK.B if you like a rest of us) and bet on Warren Buffet skills to make money for you.
Everything is OK if you can slip at night and not think about your investments.
