His blog also nets him hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I'm sure that helps him feel smug and safe in early retirement. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/02/29/mr-money-musta...

All I know is he makes good money off the blog, and his affiliate link disclosures (e.g. Betterment) are often poor (e.g. at the end of an article, which doesn't conform to federal guidelines). It also, of course, calls his judgment in

It's so simple and obviously true yet a shocking number of people think it could be otherwise (e.g. if too many people index).

True with a caveat: they will never balance completely because of taxes and fees - active traders and funds will always underperform in aggregate.

Stocks should outperform bonds because they are riskier than bonds. Why would you expect or want it to be otherwise?

I wrote out a whole response (then deleted it) with that link in mind - perfect example with the other commenter's number (15). Didn't even know Bernstein's old site was still on anyone else's radar!

Index funds have to outperform active funds and traders in aggregate by definition. It's not a claim or debate, it's simple math. After savings on taxes and expenses, indexes represent the average + a fair bit more than other opti

It's theoretically possible but I'll believe it's actually possible when I see it. I don't see volatility data in the linked article, but if they released it somewhere we could perhaps model a stock/bond portfolio o

Exactly - the headwinds in this case are strong. Even if you're just talking about actively-managed mutual funds versus passive indexes, you're talking about overcoming the 70th percentile after fees/taxes on average. So you

It's not like we don't have various periods to look at either - from the chart I saw it looked to me like the hedge funds lost 9 out of the 10 years. So sure, you can say 'some unusual stuff happened in there' but ... 9
