As several have posted here the opposite is more likely with a very small percentage of the professionals being able to outperform market indexes.


Again, the average index investor's ROR is something around 3-4%. So yeah, an advisor should be able to beat that or they should be fired. Don't mind me though, I have only been doing this for 15 years in real life and not on a message board.

you're arguing a point no one has made....the point actually being made is that by simply buying and holding a broad based market index ETF, any investor will outperform the vast, vast majority of 'experts' like yourself..this is not an opinion, the is the factual historical record that cannot be disputed.

whether money managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, or insurance salesmen, only a handful outperform the market...FACT
