Good luck!

Yes, I agree about too closely mimicing the S&P.
How about picking ten S&P 500 stocks as our portfolio and then use the S&P as the benchmark to beat? Seems fairly straightforward to me, easy to keep track of, and would definitely bring out stock picking skills over indexing or ETF-choosing skill sets? But I like ETFs too.
Ten stocks from the Russell 1000?
