I remember quite well when many people here said you'd have to be an "idiot" to not be able to pick stocks and consistently get returns, over the long haul, of at least 25% per year.

I can't do it over the long haul, but I did better than 25% in 2013. My favorite fund did 33.80%
Westwood SMidCap Fund Institutional Class WHGMX

J/K, but 20% should have been pretty darned easy.
2013 performance
DJ Industrial Average up 16.07
NASDAQ Composite up 30.61
NYSE Composite up 12.20
Russell 2000 up 27.03
S&P 500 up 21.52
S&P MidCap 400 up 21.87
PS I got a feeling that 2014 is gonna be a whole different story, 5% will prolly look pretty good this time next year.
