For anyone out there picking stocks, do you do regular checks against what would have happened had you bought an S&P index fund?
I like to think myself savvy, I read "The Intelligent Investor" and "Security Analysis". I tried to follow value-investing philosophies. I can read financial statements pretty well.
After 3 years of picking my own stocks, I compared my portfolio with what I'd have had I just added more S&P index shares over the years. I would have been $6,000 richer!
Do any stock pickers out there do this check, and are still coming out on top? What's your portfolio like?
