That’s still nothing to write home about...

2011 was just gaining steam from the Great Recession, which was a once a lifetime fall... to say you’re doing amazing after going into the market two years after that doesn’t make you any kind of an investment wiz. Lots of people are up 12+ percent post 2009.

Index investing is for sheep and those without vision

Is this guy serious?

Goliath

Indexes are boring, don't do anything for me

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:11pm

As a know-nothing investor in the market for the past 20 years, I can tell you

Goliath

4/6/19 11:16pm

If you think you're diversified while in the S&P 500, you're wrong

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:29pm

What in the world are you talking about? WHere did you come up with the idea

Goliath

4/6/19 11:34pm

What other boring investments are you in?

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:36pm

Variety of mutual funds: International, Gold, etc

Goliath

4/6/19 11:42pm

How are the dividends on your gold?

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:43pm

So, you really are a clown. Congrats.

Goliath

4/6/19 11:45pm

Why do you say that?

He also thinks Jimmer is an NBA Star.

And that firesides result in D1 football wins

cougfanz

Watch the Lonely Master and tell me Jimmer isn't great

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:21am

Watch Jimmer in the NBA and tell me he is an NBA player.

HingleMcCringleberry

4/7/19 9:24am

But he's still great and a hero to many

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 10:12am

Is he really your hero? Or are you referring to your 12 year old kid?

If you figured out a way to always get 12%, you must be a SVP at an investment bank, right?

Handpicked stocks and mutual funds, I have 19% gain for 2019

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:20pm

It's easy to do for a year. It's the long-term that you are very unlikely to

Goliath

4/6/19 11:22pm

Average 14.57% since 2011

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:25pm

That’s still nothing to write home about...

4/6/19 11:31pm

Didn't claim to be wiz, said indexes are boring

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:34pm

Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a visionary!

bluesloth

4/6/19 11:39pm

Thanks, wouldn't say that though

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:41pm

You sort of already did. You came across as ... interesting.

YSMACK

4/6/19 11:55pm

The S&P 500 has averaged 13.35 since 2011. You beat it by just over a point

cheezedawg

4/7/19 12:32am

And he’s the exception. And after fees and higher expense ratios he probably didn’t beat it at all.

Mr. Belding

4/7/19 12:33am

Beating index by 1% consistently is big deal, and my returns after fees

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:10am

If you could do this consistently (you can't) you'd be the running a HF

memento

4/7/19 9:23am

Yeah, it's nice to be doing this well

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:25am

So what's your point? That all academic research about indexing is wrong

memento

4/7/19 9:32am

There are elements of indexing in my approach, I just do it better!

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:54am

^^^ This.

Especially since it’s still a bull market

sunjieming

Have fun with that for 30 years.

Mr. Belding

4/6/19 11:24pm

Oh geeze. How’d your 2018 look?

conetah

4/6/19 11:36pm

Ended year about 1.5% down. You?

HEE-HAWS

4/6/19 11:39pm

I only invest in index funds and I'm up 39.6% the last 3 months

boyblue

4/7/19 8:06am

You're in 1 index and 2 high-risk instruments, IMO

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:12am

I guess your not visionary enough 😃

boyblue

4/7/19 9:46am

Them ain't indexes though

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 9:53am

Yes, they reset everyday, so the question is, will the s&p lose 33% in a day

boyblue

4/7/19 9:58am

Didn't it lose 20% on Black Monday?

HEE-HAWS

4/7/19 10:03am

You mean the largest single day drop in the last 120 years? Yes, it would need to be 50% worse than that

boyblue

4/7/19 10:07am

You're braver than me, I'm too risk averse, I could only put in small amount

HEE-HAWS

Do what do you suggest we buy instead?
