re: How many of you are true Bogleheads?

The S&P has a compound average growth since 1970 of 9.94% and, even near an all time high, still yields over 2%. 3 of the last 4 years have been greater than 15%. Is that low to you?

There is more to investing than div yield, you are missing out on a lot of good growth companies if that is all you look at. Indexing gives the average investor an opportunity to efficiently profit from both and advantage themselves using DRIPs and tax efficient accounts. It makes sense for most people for at least a good portion of their assets.
