Investing in Mid caps

Finding the right set of stocks and investing at the right time to get the maximum growth curve is always a challenge. This data below shows how stocks have done and therein lies a secret that we will discuss

Blackstar Funds reviewed the historical distribution of 8,000 stocks trading on the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ over 23 years (1983–2006). The results

• Only 25% of all stocks were responsible for all of the gains

• The takeaways are fascinating:
• 2 out of every 5 stocks are money-losing investments.
• 1 out of every 5 stocks is a terrible investment (losing 75% or more)
• Only 6% of stocks significantly outperformed the index (500% or more)

What this shows, if one could pick the best 10 mid cap stocks of the era and hold it thru a period of 10 years it would give better returns that any other form of investing. But of course you need to stay put through a few dozen sell offs and noise and volatility.
