Just 14 stocks have created 20% of all stock market gains in dollars since 1924. That is phenomenal, considering the sheer number of companies that have come and gone in that time, and the overall wealth ...

That is very interesting.

XOM, APPL, GE, MSFT, IBM, MO, GM, JNJ, WMT, PG, CVX, KO, T , AMZN

I'm in  50% of them. Does that mean I only get 10%? Need to pick up the other one as well.
XOM,                                        GM, JNJ           PG, CVX, KO,  T

You know what they say, past performance does not equal future performance... 

I'd guess going forward this list will still be a great starting point valid for the next 100 years, I'd probably add Google/Alphabet and Tesla to this list considering how they are "re-shaping" the future. 


I own 10 of the 14 btw, and I'm waiting for a good entry point in MSFT to add it to my list. I almost entered AMZN at ~$300 but decided to pay down the house first, not sure it was a good decision now  . Since then I decided to just invest in DGI so it's out of my list for now.
