Don't Own These 10 Stocks? Then You're Probably Underperforming the Market

Motley Fool2021-12-02

The S&P 500 is up 25% so far this year. That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term. ...

I think for small investors the ETFs may be the best option simply because of their valuations. Can have ETFs and enjoy a pie of each of those stocks😊

I think theyre missing the point of comparing your portfolio to the market. Which is that if youre not outperforming the market, you would have been better off buying vti or voo to reflect the market with significantly less work

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":601024625,"gmtCreate":1638461165100,"gmtModify":1638461165173,"author":{"id":"3575838567180609","authorId":"3575838567180609","name":"Rvnxx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a743976b076f724cab568dc8fe8c8ae5","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3575838567180609","idStr":"3575838567180609"},"htmlText":"Take note","listText":"Take note","text":"Take note","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/601024625","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":6815424,"gmtCreate":1638451253705,"gmtModify":1638451253799,"authorId":4098682592538030,"author":{"id":4098682592538030,"idStr":"4098682592538030","authorId":4098682592538030,"name":"traveleat123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b256e8e80bca8c1b6944e22d375ee0b","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":603447945,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Agree. not everyone can afford these expensive stocks..Hope ETF will be good investment.

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603419611,"gmtCreate":1638437975737,"gmtModify":1638437976552,"author":{"id":"3557142354281361","authorId":"3557142354281361","name":"Dcagency","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/811d507c3458decd0eacd9028472dcf4","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3557142354281361","idStr":"3557142354281361"},"htmlText":"Good read","listText":"Good read","text":"Good read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603419611","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603547052,"gmtCreate":1638433784322,"gmtModify":1638435177152,"author":{"id":"4099990080951910","authorId":"4099990080951910","name":"Cub88","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4099990080951910","idStr":"4099990080951910"},"htmlText":"A good piece.&nbsp;","listText":"A good piece.&nbsp;","text":"A good piece.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603547052","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns.

The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return.

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603530206,"gmtCreate":1638423868634,"gmtModify":1638423868799,"author":{"id":"4098345604405970","authorId":"4098345604405970","name":"DEAAEDEDA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1987de4fee94fab15da3b29e6992e840","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4098345604405970","idStr":"4098345604405970"},"htmlText":"Should write about QQQ istead&nbsp;","listText":"Should write about QQQ istead&nbsp;","text":"Should write about QQQ istead","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603530206","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603595512,"gmtCreate":1638423500890,"gmtModify":1638423501015,"author":{"id":"4092138473478360","authorId":"4092138473478360","name":"Beli","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12287da3d64d63968897c06e82fb422b","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4092138473478360","idStr":"4092138473478360"},"htmlText":"Need to buy more of these stocks when price is lower!","listText":"Need to buy more of these stocks when price is lower!","text":"Need to buy more of these stocks when price is lower!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603595512","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals.

It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index.

Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index.

It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index.

Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a>,</b> <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b>, <b>Square</b>, <b>Teladoc</b>, and <b>Peloton</b>, to name a few).</p>\n<p>While it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.</p>\n<h2>A note of reassurance</h2>\n<p>Let's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.</p>\n<p>The most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.</p>\n<h2>Focus on what really matters</h2>\n<p>The point here is that comparing your performance to the S&amp;P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.</p>\n<p>The market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&amp;P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals.

That's after a 16% 2020 gain despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Gains this high are not normal, as the market tends to average around 8% a year over the long term.\nWhat's even more remarkable is that the 10 largest components of the S&P 500 are up -- wait for it -- an average of 50% year to date.\nNow if you're looking at your portfolio wondering why it's underperforming the market this year, you aren't alone. Beating the stock market in 2021 is nearly impossible without these 10 stocks. Here's why.\nFlexing their muscles\nThe math here is beautifully simple. The 10 largest holdings of the S&P 500 make up 29% of the index. As mentioned, they are collectively up an average of 50% of the year, which contributes a gain of 13 percentage points to the S&P 500's return. That's around half of the index's gain from these 10 stocks alone. So, without their contribution, the index is up a whole lot less.\n\n\n\nCompany\nS&P 500 Weight\nYTD Gain\nEffect On S&P 500 YTD Return\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n6.4%\n54%\n3.47 percentage points\n\n\nApple (NASDAQ:AAPL)\n6.2%\n21%\n1.30 percentage points\n\n\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)\n4%\n13%\n0.52 percentage points\n\n\nAlphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)\n2.3%\n70%\n1.58 percentage points\n\n\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)\n2.2%\n61%\n1.36 percentage points\n\n\nMeta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)\n2%\n26%\n0.53 percentage points\n\n\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n2%\n153%\n3.03 percentage points\n\n\nBerkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B)\n1.3%\n21%\n0.27 percentage points\n\n\nJPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)\n1.2%\n27%\n0.33 percentage points\n\n\nHome Depot (NYSE:HD)\n1.1%\n54%\n0.58 percentage points\n\n\n\nData sources: Yahoo! Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603502829,"gmtCreate":1638421110207,"gmtModify":1638421110442,"author":{"id":"4092410761566010","authorId":"4092410761566010","name":"jerryang17","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1eb61373cf0be973dd9dc7f072c54352","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4092410761566010","idStr":"4092410761566010"},"htmlText":"Yep.&nbsp;","listText":"Yep.&nbsp;","text":"Yep.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603502829","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

Finance, YCharts, Slickcharts\nDissecting the S&P 500\nWe talk about the S&P 500 all the time, but we don't always discuss what makes up the index and why it moves the way it does. It may surprise you to learn that technology stocks actually make up over a quarter of the whole index, and that's dominated by big companies like Apple and Microsoft. Similarly, the energy sector, which is actually the best-performing sector of 2021 (even better than tech) only makes up 3% of the index. So, the energy sector could double and it would contribute less than Microsoft stock's 3.47 percentage point contribution so far this year.\nMSFT data by YCharts\nWhat to do about it\nOne of the biggest mistakes we can make as investors is obsessing over short- to mid-term performance. Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns. The truth of the matter is that you're still probably a lot better off because you were in the market in the first place. So if you're up, let's say, half of what the index is, you're still growing your wealth at a much quicker pace than folks who aren't in the market at all.\nThe most important priority is your financial goals. If you're investing in dividend stocks to supplement income in retirement, then you're playing a different game than growth-oriented investors. Similarly, if you're a value investor who focuses on stodgy, slow-growing, but safe companies that let you sleep at night, then it's simply expected that you're going to underperform a growth-driven market.\nFocus on what really matters\nThe point here is that comparing your performance to the S&P 500, for better or for worse, is usually unhelpful. As long as you're investing in companies, cryptos, or other securities that you understand and that are helping you reach your goals, then the rest is little more than bragging rights.\nThe market moves in cycles. And while we may be living in a multi-year period of growth (especially mega-cap tech growth), there could be a few years where it shifts from growth to value, or from large-cap tech growth to small-cap growth. Hopefully, you're left with a better understanding of what's really driving the S&P 500 and why it's so easy to underperform if you didn't own stocks like Microsoft, Nvidia, or Tesla this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":603506495,"gmtCreate":1638421038247,"gmtModify":1638421038588,"author":{"id":"3581839835915010","authorId":"3581839835915010","name":"WEHNg","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92a109500a577854b21a56108d52504a","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3581839835915010","idStr":"3581839835915010"},"htmlText":"Great sharing","listText":"Great sharing","text":"Great sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603506495","repostId":2188049563,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2188049563","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1638415920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2188049563?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-02 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don't Own These 10 Stocks?

Zooming in to a particular quarter undermines the big picture. For example, there are plenty of stocks that absolutely crushed the market in 2020 that are underperforming or even down big this year (think Zoom, PayPal, Square, Teladoc, and Peloton, to name a few).\nWhile it's easy to say that those companies are underperformers this year, keep in mind they are still net winners over the last two years.\nA note of reassurance\nLet's say that for a few years now, you've been underperforming the market because you haven't held the stocks that have really driven the index's returns.
