For example, if you took microsoft in the 80s (lets leave off the 90s for now), it was always, always a very expensive stock, that continued to outperform.

Of course, if you always pick the winner and only the winner. For example, with networking in 1992/3, it was a battle between 4 high PE companies, Cisco, 3Com, Cabletron and Bay Networks. If you bought a market cap weighted portfolio of all four, you probably would have done poorly because even though your CSCO kicked ass, your three other picks would have declined by 50%-90%.
