Adventures in Stock Picking

About a year and a half ago I started buying shares in individual public companies rather than buying shares of index funds. I did this because I thought it was fascinating and because I thought I could do a good job, at least matching the performance of the market as a whole. This week I decided to end the experiment and go back to index funds.

This is part a chronicle of my brief journey and part my reasoning for both starting and ending the experiment.
