So if you're stock is up MORE than 9% you're beating "the market".


Total S&P 500 WITH dividends reinvested - UP 10.504%


Using the period December 2011 to September 2012

I'm not doing that good, but from April 15 till today, I'm up 6.7% with dividends. I was doing a fraction of that with the 401k mutual funds.
Thanks for showing us how simple it is to make our money work for us.
I wish I had moved my money out of my 401k years ago to a self directed IRA.
