@barbecue However, as an overall investment strategy, you have, literally, "no chance" of beating the SP500 because, with that 30% rate, you will ultimately lose all your money in the long run. Is the quote, so yes, someone did say that, just scroll up.

@quid Anybody invested in GM before the great recession lost everything. The General Motors stock today isn't the same company.

Yep, anyone who invested in GM and only GM and held while it deteriorated to oblivion lost "all their money." Would you say that's common? If it isn't obvious, my gripe is the assertion that you either invest in the index or you lose all your money. Which isn't true. Its one thing to underperform an index (after fees), it's another to "lose all your money." A lesser gain is not a loss, it's certainly not a loss of all your invested capital.
