Is Skill Still Relevant in the Era of the Indexes?

By Tom Madell

Anyone failing to notice that index funds, along with index-based ETFs are, day-by-day, becoming the preferred investments for investors likely hasn't been paying much attention. So it's more important than ever to consider the question of whether portfolios still managed based on presumably skillful interventions can realistically ever hope to consistently beat portfolios run on autopilot, that is, passively managed and made up of index funds.

    I posted this same newsletter a couple days back and just discovered it got moved to the bullpen after 80 viewings.

    See below limk.

    I sincerly hope this one put up by JonhN will stay up for discussion and possible comment longer than mine did as this newsletter is indeed good reading.

    Please make comments on post you enjoy reading, or find favor in, or they will get moved to the bullpen, as mine did, if enough comments are not made to keep it posted under the discussion heading.

    @Old_Skeet: Welcome to the club, unfortunately it's comments that count not views.

    @Ted,

    Yep, I now know ...

    Perhaps, this one will stay up for a while now that it has received a couple of comments.

    Interesting, that it got sent to the bullpen as this newsletter addressed active vs. passive in a light that offered a different spectrum that the passive crowd might not have found favor in.

    I am certaintly happy to see JohnN opened a new thread on the newsletter. So, sometimes double posting of information can indeed be a good thing.

    Thanks for the comment.

    And, @Ted,

    I should have mentioned ... Thanks for the many reads that you put up that were indeed informative and beneficial to me. Sorry, I made no comment on them at the time.
