Interesting observation from GMO thru Callum Thomas:
"Since 1957, the 10 largest stocks in the S&P 500 have underperformed an equal-weighted index of the remaining 490 stocks by 2.4% per year. But the last decade has been a very notable departure from that trend, with the largest 10 outperforming by a massive 4.9% per year on average.“ It’s rare and bubbly for the top stocks to outperform like this!
