Its nice to see the price at a point where I'm not embarrassed to look at it but its still relatively disappointing when I look at my performance with the index fund. Tats the age old lesson though: for most people buying the index and not worrying about specific company risk is usually best. Its average but most people are not average because a few people bring the average up well beyond the median through skill but probably mostly luck.
