It sounds almost as if he's talking like it's a 0 sum game, which it isn't.

I agree that it's not; however, too many people think they can "beat" the market

I certainly don't mean to toot my horn here, but beating the market isn't some

Yes. My point it that beating the market can happen over an extended period

We had a bull market for the past 8-9 years. It’s much easier to beat the market

Good advice, I believe 15% in cash is always good, and take profits regularly!
