<Beating S&P500 consistently is monumental indeed>

What is amazing to me is that economic growth rates
are usually small positive numbers--but stock market
returns are not very often small positive numbers.

Here are the total returns for the S&P off Wikipedia:

1994 1.32
1995 37.58
1996 22.96
1997 33.36
1998 28.58
1999 21.04
2000 -9.11
2001 -11.89
2002 -22.10
2003 28.68
2004 10.88
2005 4.91
2006 15.80
