Only 1.3% of stocks drive nearly all market returns—and the odds of picking those winners are worse than 1 in 75 against you. Even professional fund managers fail to beat the index 93-95% of the time over 20 years. This video explains why market-cap-weighted index funds like VTI and VOO automatically solve this problem by owning more of the winners as they grow, while new winners replace fading ones. Learn the 5 key advantages of indexing: lower costs, owning all the winners automatically, better long-term performance, simplicity, and avoiding bad investing behavior. No fluff, just the facts from "How NOT to Invest" by Barry Ritholtz.
