Further proof of the “False Bargain of Passive Investing.”
Applied Finance Valuation Averages in S&P500 by MKT Cap:
•Top 10 (-28.5%)
•Top 25 (-26.8%)
•Top 100 (-12.6%)
•S&P500 average (-7.6%)
•Bottom 250 (-3.2%)— Chris Austin (@caustin34) February 2, 2021
Why are the S&P indices so hard to beat? Because they are not passive.
