At the end of the year I ask myself the same question. Did I beat the S&P 500? As long as the answer is "yes", I'm going to keep plugging away. I may change strategies. When the answer becomes "no", I'm going to put everything into a combination of preferred stocks and an S&P 500 ETF and pretty much forget about putting a large effort into "investing". At some point, due to age, I'll start shifting into a larger percentage of income producing investments. I'm 60 and have about 10% of my holdings in investments focused on income production [Bonds and preferreds]
