I noticed that most of the folks portfolios on this board declined less than market indexes. Somewhat surprising because we have so many index fans...
I have two explanations for that.
(1) Some indices are based on the movement of share prices. Lots of us in the accumulation phase bolstered our portfolios by adding our dividends/interest/LTCG to them, and didn't withdraw anything.
(2) Members whose portfolios fared worse than the indices were probably reluctant to post.
