I'm already a huge fan of the index investing philosophy and have put my money where my mouth is so to speak.
But when discussing it with some other people they brought up some old arguements that I confess I can't really convincingly answer.
Specifically the case studies of Japan in the nineties and the pronlonged recovery of the US indices after the great depression.
How can an index investor be successful in these adverse scenarios?
And to say it won't happen here or can't happen again isn't the type of answer I need.
I need real strategy.
