🧠 The 90/10 Rule of Stock Research: Do Less, Win More

Over 90% of stocks underperform the market over time.

That means if you're watching 50 tickers and juggling headlines every day… you’re likely focused on the wrong stocks.

Smart investors don’t do more—they do less, better.

🧱 Most Research Is a Waste of Time

Retail investors are overwhelmed with:

• Too many tickers

• Too much noise

• Not enough conviction

The result?

Overtrading, underperformance, and missed opportunities.

Even seasoned pros admit: watching everything usually means owning nothing that matters.

🎯 Only 1 in 10 Stocks Really Matter

At any moment, just 10% of stocks are worth your attention.

They’re the names with:

• ✅ Strong earnings momentum

• ✅ Clear catalysts (like product launches or macro tailwinds)

• ✅ Institutional accumulation and insider confidence

Want to outperform? You don’t need 100 ideas.

You need 3–5 that actually have a shot.
