The market has been dominated by a handful of certain stocks for the last few years. If you were not heavily invested in those 8-12 stocks then it would have been very very difficult to beat the indexes.

I have invested in those 8-12 stocks, probably more than their weight in the S&P, and I've let my winners run, and I still have been trailing the index.
