Can you outperform the market in a bull market?

If you can't beat the market this year, would you choose to invest in $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ and $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$?

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ has risen 16% YTD and achieved a 24% gain in 2023.

In 2006, Warren Buffett bet $1 mln that an $S&P 500(.SPX)$ index fund would outperform any five hedge funds (actively managed funds).

In 2007, Wall Street hedge fund Protégé Partners accepted the challenge.

The bet began on January 1, 2008, and concluded on December 31, 2017.

Over the 10-year period, Buffett won decisively, with a return of 125.8% compared to Protégé Partners' 36.3%.

If you can’t beat the bull market, will you shift to invest in $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ and $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ in the next half?

If you don’t, do you have other good choices to outperform the market?

    SPY and QQQ have been all time favourites that people buy whether in bull or bear market. They are representative of the broad US market. Of course, there are other similar ETFs with low expense ratio but generally acceptable options. The main disadvantage is that they dont include small caps which sometimes can surprise with big upsides. While they dont include the other markets, they can be good in such times where the US market is upwards and the other developing markets are less so. In the short term, these are good options though I would think the broad world market representative like VTI would be better for the long term.

    I would most probably invest in both. index and hedge funds. I would look for those hedge funds that have a proven track record.

    🌟🌟🌟The Best  way to beat a Bull Market is to buy plain vanilla ETFs like $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ which tracks the S&P500 Index over a long period of time.  This is a mini version of $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ but at a lower price point.  SPLG has the lowest Expense ratio of just 0.02%.  The average return over 20 years is 10.7% which compounded over  long term beats a Bull Market.

    Investing is a marathon not a sprint.  It is time in the markets that counts, not timing the markets.🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

    if cannot stock pick, then buy qqq and spy. since qqq is more volatile, allocate smaller portion to it. if not, buy tech companies, like the big techs to outperform the market. these growth companies typically will grow faster than rest of sectors like financials, consumer, healthcare.

    $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ and $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ are definitely good investments. SPY share price has increased 85.83% over the last 5 years, and QQQ has appreciated by 159.70%. Both these two index funds give competitive returns with extremely low risk. They need no monitoring thus incur only very low costs. These index funds are most suitable to individual investors that do not aim to beat the market.

    My mid-year results indicate that I underperformed the Nasdaq benchmark. To adjust my approach, I plan to:

    - Boost my automatic investments to implement a dollar-cost averaging strategy in $Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF(QQQM)$ and $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF(SPYG)$
    - Limit active trading to:
       - Buying during 10-15% market dips
       - Selling at 10-15% profit targets

    This revised strategy aims to improve my performance in the second half of 2024.
