Because the point is always to get better - learning and growing, and that cannot be accomplished by being in an index fund. Because I enjoy the hunt, the thinking about stocks/businesses, the feeling I'm a part owner, the control I tell myself I have over timing of purchase/sales/tax consequences; because it's not necessary to be in index funds to make good money. To you who say or imply that you are not in index funds because you want to beat the market: Nobody on this thread or the Buffett thread is claiming they are actually able to beat the market. So to me, it looks like the 'triumph of hope over experience'. What clue do you think would tell you guys to realize your effort/methods are not achieving these goals?
