I guess it would be closer s&p. I haven't tracked my investment's for 5 years straight as I'm a on again off again investor would was not investing in the long term in the past. I feel like any profit over 100% is successful. Close to 200% even over 5 years is pretty incredible. I guess success in both index's speaks to success of one "American staples" mean stocks and companies that regularly perform well and to each index as both are concerned with certain aspects of business (tech, retail etc). I personally look for options that have not been considered by everyone else. This in the long leaves room potential exponential gains on initial investments. My over all gains are difficult to track because I've spent a lot of my investments but had I not in five years I'm fairly sure I would have 100 percent gains at least.
