I don't like index comparisons either. That's the world we live in though apparently.

For long-term performance (greater than 10 years), I'd like to see methods of investing compared. Picking the S&P is picking the 500 top US growth companies. That got you in trouble in the tech meltdown (1998?). How about comparing a "good" stock picker (my characterization of Grommit) with a dividend growth investor model? As best I can see from a simple look, Grommit's 15% (I assume not using margin) beat that method of investing over the last ten year period.
