Still figuring things out

Post by cswift01 »

So, I would consider myself quite a nooby when it comes to investing (outside of TSP). I am continually finding gems of information. I have already posted one link to some excellent data on small cap investments. This one is a conglomeration of small, mid and large. Check out the mid growth!

Anyway, this reminds me that not all books are equal to their covers. One value investing index is entirely different from the other.

I hope someone enjoys the read as much as I have.

Enjoy.

Best,

Me

Everyone is a nooby no matter how much experience they have. Take comfort in the fact that of the top quintile of active managed fund performers in 2012, 4 years later in 2016; only 22% remained in the top. Now randomness dictates that it should be closer to 25%. The top stock pickers perform even worse than randomness in the long run.

Needless to say, as time goes on the underperformance gets worse.

If the best of the best can't bet random dice rolls, don't worry yourself about what you know as long as you are aware of what you don't know.

FYI, that's from 2007. I think the performance has greatly changed since then.
