• Many people think investing in stocks in long term and in quality stocks will give good returns.This is not true and want to break this myth and give you an example with one of the leading stocks in the world Goldman sacs.
• As you see in the above chart in 2009 when market started recovering, if some one has invested in Dowjones index would have got 100% profit by now
• While someone who had invested in a good quality stock like Goldman sacks would have got 0 % returns
• Why does this happen.Its because Dowjones has a mix of sectors.So in last 5 year financials hasn't done any good,but other sectors like retail,IT would have done good and this has pushed the profits of Dowjones. While Goldman sacs got stuck in financials and and didn't move

So the moral of the stories is Don't put your eggs in same basket.
