The Telltale Chart (2002)
Seems to be a lot of investing content on HN lately. A contrarian indicator perhaps? ;)
In any case, I posted these links in a previous thread and it seemed to be popular so I'll post again--if you enjoy this you'll probably enjoy the http://bogleheads.org forum (one of the oldest and best investing forums on the web based around Bogle's philosophy) and also the http://capitalminded.com newsletter (kind of new, but the last few weeks I've read are like Matt Levine's money stuff for index fund investors, really good).
Stock Market Investment is not a skilled ability.
Example: Buffett made the bet in December 2007, arguing that a fund holding the same stocks as found in the Standard & Poor's 500 index could beat the combined performance of a group of hedge funds over the following 10 years. Buffet won easily - https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2018/03/07/warr...
Real Life Meaning - You need to diversify so much that you just bet on America's economy and not on intelligence of a manager.
One of my favorite articles on investing, and a sobering read any time I get tempted to try active investing.
Does anybody know if there are any online tools that generates these RTM charts? For a while that's been my go-to toy project when testing out a new language/framework, but it'd be nice if there was something online integrated into legit data feeds for stock/fund performance.
