In his classic book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" Burton Malkiel said that a monkey throwing darts at the Wall Street Journal would outperform 75% of the money managers. In any given year about 75% will underperform the S&P. Some will say yes that's true but I manage the risk better. Then you will see that in a down year many lost more than the S&P. I'm going to stay with index funds. I don't think I can beat that monkey.
