The funny (sad) thing is people who were invested in the S&P 500 outperformed 50% of all other investors and greater then 50% of those holding actively managed mutual funds.

One must be careful doing the kind of analysis you did, even though yours didn't prove your theory, as hindsight is 20/20 and massaging a strategy to fit ones endgame is dangerous.

Cheers.
