Lots of funds are going to have better returns if you get to choose the time frame around a burst, I imagine.


But earlier you said this

This is the inherent point of the indexer logic. THe chance you pick a manager that can beat or lessen losses in comparison to the index, when you include the costs you pay for him to manage it, are so low you effectively lose every time over any time frame.

I was getting at the fact that if you arbitrarily pick a period, you will be able to use hindsight to pick winning funds.

I was a little loose with the language. But anyways, it appears all those he listed lost because of cost.

Indexing doesn't rely on straight return to work. It relies on being cost efficient coupled with returns.
