Pareto~~~ Your conclusion is PERFECT! IMO, anyway! KLP Some more trivia in a down market: The 80-20 rule has been defined by the Italian Pareto around 1890. It is a rule for statistical occurrence. E.g. a stock trades 80% of the time in a range 20% off its high and 20% above its low for the year. It means as well that 20% of our time we are involved in activities that represent 80% of value to use. To the other side, 80% of our time is waste or low value. 80% of internet companies won't make it. And 20% will generate most of the value. Conclusion: you better spend 20% of your time to choose the premium stocks and spend the rest of time on the beach.
