Right now the S&P 500 is beating my returns, but I’m beating the Nasdaq 100 and the Dow. If I average all 3 index funds, my returns are about the same. Hindsight says I should have put the whole thing into a SPDR, but my goal is to beat the index funds.

Not to a pain in the you know what, but have you ever calculated your returns after taking into account short term capital gains and the trade costs versus an index fund?
