Here's more evidence that it's really hard to make money picking stocks

Most stocks don't outperform Treasury bills. And only a handful of stocks have accounted for the bulk of wealth creation in the stock market in the last 30 years. That's the conclusion of a recent academic study that has been stirring up interest in investing circles, and with good reason. The paper, " Long-Term Shareholder Returns: Evidence from 64,000 Global Stocks ," looked at the performance of roughly 64,000 publicly traded common stocks worldwide between 1990 and 2020.

The authors did exclude any stock with a market capitalization below $1 million or if its share price dropped below one cent What does it mean? Passive investing wins again So why doesn't everyone just buy stocks that are winners? Because no one knows who will be long-term winners or losers. The authors readily admit that anyone who could identify which stocks would go up would obviously have a huge advantage.
