When researchers at Duke, Harvard, and Northwestern asked investors how their mutual funds performed last year compared with Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 stock index, a third claimed their funds outperformed the market by at least 5 percent. One in six said their funds fared better by more than 10 percent.<\/p>\n
However, a check of the portfolios of those claiming to have beaten the market showed that 88 percent had overestimated their earnings. The study discovered that some \u201cmarket beaters\u201d lagged between 5 and 15 percent behind the S&P. Said Don Moore of Northwestern, \u201cEverybody wants to believe they\u2019re better than average.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the same thing is true in the spiritual realm. It is human nature for us to look at our neighbors and conclude that we are more righteous.<\/p>\n
