The difference between the MEDIAN and the MEAN CUMULATIVE returns of US stocks since 1926 is amazing...

As mentioned by @SpencerHakimian on X: "Stock returns are so skewed to the 4% of stocks that are responsible for all equity market returns that have occurred in the past 100 years. Statistically, it is virtually impossible to outperform an index over time since you would have needed to specifically own the tiny percentage of stocks that beat the index, and specifically avoid the vast majority of stocks that underperformed the index. Individual stock picking turns investing from a positive sum game to a negative sum game. Index investing is like being the casino. Individual stock picking is like being the gambler".
