This month's newsletter is titled "Is Skill Still Relevant in the Era of the Indexes?"
Essentially, one's position regarding the debate comes down on the following two questions:
a) Is it possible for someone to determine in advance with any degree of accuracy and consistency where and in what amounts, to position investments to come out ahead of a fixed allocation, index-only, portfolio b) are such efforts really possible and correct enough of the time to merit even trying? If you answer b) yes, you will lean toward indexing and indexed ETFs and your own passive management of your portfolio; if, however, you answered a) yes, you will likely be open to using a variety of types on investments in your portfolio, and possibly in choosing some degree of active involvement on your part in portfolio decision making.
More about this subject is linked below in this month's newsletter for your reading enjoyment.
