So, what you are saying is the term "long haul" doesn't really exist as a measure of time? That makes it difficult to believe that indexes win over the "long haul" if no one can define it. Oh well, carry on.....
How do you figure that from what I said? I don't know what you want or what you're looking for.
According to the indexers, they have broken it down by year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years and more and everything in between. I don't know what more you can want.
The fact is though, we became a super power over the last 100 years, so even though indexing "won" during that time, that is no guarantee it will win the next 100 years. But good luck figuring that out.

What I want is for someone to tell me when they say "long haul" or "over the long-term" how long they are talking about. Is 5 years considered the long-term? Is it 10 years, 20 years.... If you are going to compare returns of an index fund to a managed fund over the "long term", how far out do you go for comparison?
The answer is a number for a designated time period.
