Bottomline:

As finance professor Hendrik Bessembinder of Arizona State University has shown, only 0.33% of all companies that were part of the U.S. stock market at any point over those nine decades accounted for half of all the wealth generated for investors. And fewer than 1.1% of all the stocks that existed created three-quarters of the stock market’s cumulative dollar gains — as measured relative to the returns on cash.

Side Note:

So assuming this continues to be the case. there are 5000 us stock not otc. of that 5000 only 17 will be superstocks. 55 great stocks. discuss.

also in addition I hate amazon as an investor, but i love it as a consumer.does anyone have any insight on cloud vs hardware? Also why investors love this fukin stock? ty.
