I’m with you, this quarter and in fact just the last month or so have been very bad. I’m betting on emerging markets also, selected transportation, luxury, resources, and small-cap stocks.

Many of those are predicated on strong recovery and the recent hiccups in Europe and around the world are keeping them volatile.

I did beat the market strongly in Q1 and even until early June. Big losses in the last 2 or 3 weeks though, but TSX also dropped big during the same time.

Interesting! I like to follow real world results. Too many bloggers have 20/20 hindsight vision.
I believe that it is possible for individuals with the right personality/resources/expertise to beat the market as long as they are not getting eaten alive by fees.

DIY Investor,

While we are having fun doing this competition, you are quite right that most of the time, low MER index funds or ETFs will beat stock pickers !

Nonetheless, our picks in 2009 beat the market big time!

Contest is proving why low cost market index funds are the way to go. Good companies go bad like GS and BP. Buying market funds eliminates the company and industry risk.
