Mention S&P index funds during 90s and "the fresh meat" would convulse in laughter. They'd ask why anyone would settle for "average." On IHUB all "players" are above average.
Then the tech bubble broke.
I've noticed that index funds get some respect here lately. I've always used IHUB as a contrarian indicator. The S&P 500 has lagged most things this year. Even my individual stocks have soundly topped the S&P in 2013.
