Berney, >>>Because of the modern marvel of Index investing, the method employed is equally important to the stocks selected. Simply because of the nature of the system, Big stocks have provided greater performance potential. Hopefully, this will change one day, but I don't see it anytime soon. << My point wasn't so much big stocks vs.small or cheap vs. expensive. It was the actual stock price and whether it was a high number or not. In other words, a portfolio that consisted of 10 penny stocks that are each up 100%, that also included one stock that started out the beginning of the year at a price of 25 per share and that declined to 20 would show a net loss measured your way. On a weighted basis (percentage) this same portfolio would have an awesome performance.
