Lizzie, RE: 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.

No, it wasn't always, always an expensive stock. There were instances when you could buy Microsoft at a PE in the teens, and it was a fine buy then. There were times when you could buy Intel with a PE in single digits. Great buy then. And when the FDiv thing happened, Intel was also a cheap stock, and an excellent buy.

Same with most "gorillas" as they used to be called. If you invested in value within a growth sector you *significantly* underperformed. But this is only within growth.

Do you have any evidence to support that contention? You know why they don't call them "gorillas" anymore? Because they were horrible investments when the PE got high.
