Balanced Portfolios will never give superior returns. Fund managers must diversify to solve personal risk reward problems as a prudent man would do. Otherwise, if they stumble they will pay dearly in a suit. There is no superior reward to fund managers for having a 5 bagger fund.

This is why mutual funds are mediocre investment vehicles.

Re : Of course everybody's situation is different, and you have to take profits at some time or there is no point in investing in the first place.

How about having a margin account and endlessly removing (ever-increasing) cash available, while having one's equity reduced by margin interest charges (those interest costs ideally growing more slowly than the value of the underlying stock).
