Have you plotted your net returns against the S&P? Otherwise how can you say that your portfolio has done well? Study after study says 99.9% of investors both professional and personal won't beat the market over time.


We have done well with a simple portfolio of blue chips, index funds and Dividend paying international mutual funds (IDV).
And it didn't cost me a dime..
