I believe that with technical trading, value investing and purchasing defensive type dividend stocks, over achieving returns can be obtained. Just check out this article http://www.stingyfinance.com/some-benjamin-graham-picks.htm By using Graham criteria, Canadian business magazine author Mr. Rothery returned 20% where the S&P returned -20% in the bear year 2000. With that being said, i've never traded through a down market, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. :) FT Hi Fin_Indie,

One thing that could probably use a bit more definition is how you plan on achieving 12-15% return if the market goes south. It's not predicted to, but it may be worth thinking through some defensive strategies and risk mitigations to ensure you hit your goal, should the market drop. BTW, I also really like your goal of becoming better at your job. "Be in the here and now" sort of thing.

He has a system and it all seems overly complicated and time consuming, to me, but he'll maintain at least 10 auctions at all times -- when life doesn't get in the way. Seeing as how the man has warehouse volumes of stuff and the stuff moving out the door is more like pebbles on the beach (versus furniture from the beach house), it'll be a very long, slow, never ending process. He sales mostly metal working and various obscure technical items that I would look at and throw out without realizing that it might be worth $500. I'll prolly start assisting him soon just to move the process along (and to help build up monthly income). Ebay is actually the partner’s domain.
