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?

HEE-HAWS

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

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

You could probably make an easy million

Do what do you suggest we buy instead?
