[quote=OTAlexFA][quote=Anonymous][quote=OTAlexFA][quote=Anonymous]Why don't I just put my money in index funds rather than you? Will your fee + the returns outperform index funds + fees?[/quote] Index funds are great; they just aren't a cure-all.[/quote] i would disagree with you here. almost nobody can beat the market over a long timespan, so it makes little sense to do anything BUT invest in index funds. all this jazz about timing the market and "hedging" against downturns is a recipe for losing your ass. [/quote] I never try and time the market (except during earnings seasons for myself). I recommend building in hedges to your portfolio to where you're not 100% exposed to downcapture. If by "losing your ass" means you underperform a couple of percentage points, I'll offer that peace of mind everytime. See 2001 and 2008. If you want to leave it all out there, by all means, that is your option and I won't argue with your comfort level. [/quote]
