Re: Why Mutual Funds are better than Index Funds
[ QUOTE ]
But when comparing mutual funds to index funds, I still believe that the psychological factor of less downward fluctuation in a proven Value Invested mutual fund far outweighs the consequences of eventually being capped. Thus, a beginning investor will be better served by it. And if you do not agree, than we will have to agree to disagree.

We don't have to disagree. I would agree that if a fund exists that outperforms the indexes and also is less volatile, it's a pretty good choice.
So show me a mutual fund with a ten year track record of outperforming indexes, and with a lower beta. You seem to think these commonly exist, I don't.
