Barron's assembles "experts" called their Roundtable every year to recommend stocks for the coming year. For 2024, the Roundtable recommended 66 stocks.
(The Roundtables NEVER recommend an Index fund!!)
Equal dollars invested in each of their stocks would have generated a return of 10.5% last year.
The S&P 500 Index returned 26.8% .
The Index Fund wins again!
