Mike: re beating the market. I don't see it relevant or important. Objective I think is to make and keep money because the goal is creation of wealth. What's the point of beating the market when market is down 15% and individual is down 10%? That's the easy point to see of course because, investor still lost money. Not so easy to see on upside, but still valid. So what if market is up 15% in a year and individual is up 11%? The 11% gets one moving to one's goal. After all this thing of investing is a process--- it's something that's going to be done for 50 or more years. (That is, investing in all its asset allocation forms-- adjusting bond/stock/real estate/cash/savings components based on family/lifestyle changes.) Holding oneself to artificial goals like comparisons to S&P performance or to others, IMO diverts attention,leads to frustration, and encourages faddish investing. JMO. Paul
