Mike, Then what do you think it might take for someone to realize he/she cannot beat the market? That is, from my perspective almost nobody can beat the market other than periodically or randomly, and given, from what I can see, 'regarding ...individual stock picking' nobody around here for sure is beating the market. At SOME point, if this performance continues and one is not meeting one's goals, then either the methods or goals would change I assume. Or perhaps these goals are lofty aspirations which we diligently pursue knowing how unreachable they really are? Or perhaps I am totally incorrect, that there are indeed lots of individuals out there using value investing, Buffett investing, who can show that they beat the market? Mike, looks like we just disagree on this one -g- Paul. |
