Not to boast, but I have consistently done better retail investing on individual stock than my IRA well ever do. I divested from a couple funds they couldn't even beat inflation.

- rebuilder 9y agoWhat's the timeframe? It's entirely possible to beat the index for a time by flipping a coin. A lucky streak early on can set you up for success, for example. I've found www.chartgame.com quite illuminating in this regard. You can beat the average for "years" just randomly bashing buttons, but of course most of the time you don't.
