"sometimes" beat the market would be more appropriate.
1 out of 1000 "random monkey" speculators will beat the market for 10 consecutive 5 years period. There are many speculators around :).
And I rather doubt your random monkey can actually beat the mkt by the amount Buffet beat the market. check out the graph below. Looks worse for qqq. Note that's a log scale. change it to linear if you want to really see a delta.
there may be some dividend differences (total return) but I don't know how to factor that in but S&P yield ha s only been 2-3%/year so over 15 years thats roughly another 1.6 multiplier on the bottom line.
