1. I think a smaller percentage of people can beat the market, I don’t even think the average pundit on here can, As I explained back in post 132 on this thread, even I am humble enough to own the index even with my 20 year history or beating the market, your retirement sayings to important.

2. If you had chosen the asx300 index as your savings vehicle for a home, you would have outpaced house price growth.

3. I think probably the majority of people on this forum avoid indexes because they believe they can beat them, but in reality probably can’t, few probably even measure and track their performance against the index.

There is one quite out spoken Trader on the forum here who hates the idea of index investing, but and instead loves TA but I doubt they have actually been able to beat the index, I mentioned once to them that I was in the top tax bracket even though I am retired and they seemed confused how that could be possible. Now that doesn’t sound like some one with 20+ years of stock market experience should be confused about if they truly can beat the market.
