In fact, if most or all of your indexed investments are in the S&P 500, you are extremely UN-diversified.

History and numbers prove out the indexes - the press rarely acknowledges their incorrect predictions/fear news after an event doesn't play out.</p>
<p>I have a long view as well - just have to ignore all this noise concerning "change this now!" - seems like change for the sake of change with no real reason or support. But the public sometimes/somehow buys into it.</p>Blaine Moore commented on 'Is Indexing Over?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e553db37d888342008-07-28T14:42:47Z2008-07-28T14:42:47ZBlaine Moorehttp://www.runtowin.comI don't mind the index being shaky right now.

I have a long investing window, so the lower they get now, the bigger the discount I can buy into it at.</p>
