Paranoid about offices all over the country. Unhappy with oodles and boodles of funds, all owning the same 13 stocks plus bundled funds of funds that own each other. I'm not seeing a performance edge or effort.

Buying the top 50 in size, growth, and earnings is a viable strategy today. Look at the high fliers over the last 10-20 years. Has indexing beat any of them?
