You have created a website that looks very good, but your poor spelling and grammar make it difficult to take you seriously. Please find someone to edit your work for you. I would suggest spell-check, but spell-check will not catch certain errors, such as using the word rational when you really meant rationale. However, spell check will save you from obvious errors such as misspelling volatility and guarantee.

Assuming stocks return on average an annual 10% historically, why would you not go with index funds? If you are 100% invested in stocks, you are not invested in the total market unless you've got a taste of an incredibly well-diversified bunch. If you are not as diversified as the market is, by putting all your money into just a few stocks, you can't assume that the average market returns have any relevance to your situation. I guess I'll just have to wait until Part III to find out how your mix of stocks (hmm.. sounds like a small, personal mutual fund, whose management expenses consist of the commissions charged when you bought those stocks) will beat the index. Keep up the good writing! Good post.
