This decade belonged to the winners, says Michael Batnick on The Irrelevant Investor. From that post…
“…if you owned a portfolio of the 10 largest stocks and did a rebalance every January, you absolutely annihilated the S&P 500.”
And as you can see from the performance chart in that blog post, the top 10 beat the market by a shocking amount over a 10-year period. The top 10 delivered 579.3% for the period, compared to 251.7% for the S&P 500. Yes, more than a doubling of the market.
