• Comparing funds to each other
    • You could be comparing different investments and the comparison is irrelevant
    • Same goes for rate of returns between two portfolios
    • Comparing your portfolio to the S & P 500
    • Comparing to an index is irrelevant
  • Are your investments doing the best they can and am i on track to have the future i want to have
    • That is the best questions to answer 
  • Investments doing the best they can is not about a rate of return
    • It is only a snapshot in time
    • How can you do a comparison if you are a long term investor?
  • Do you know where the greatest risks lie in your portfolio?
  • DO NOT post yourself at risk for not achieving your goals
  • If the reasoning to justifying your portfolio return is by comparing it to an index you are not investing with clarity
  • You don’t make or lose money until you sell
