Seven years ago and half the stocks underperform the market since. Some by a wide margin. If I have a point it is normal folk can't buy meaningful positions in entire indexes or "lists". Your stock analysis skills are not a waste of time, and be ready to adjust if you are wrong. Avon, Polaroid and Xerox were major Nifty 50 stocks. Add in the oil stocks that have just been OK for over a decade until recently. Can't ride too many of those into the dirt on hope as an income investor as the income will go away and even more likely your capital.
