Flight #120: Why Stock Picking Is Harder Than You Think with Hank Bessembinder

from The Pilot Money Guys

What if most individual stocks actually don't outperform and a small handful of massive winners are doing all the heavy lifting? In this episode, renowned finance professor Hank Bessembinder joins the show to break down decades of research on market returns, stock picking, and why diversification matters far more than most investors realize. We unpack his groundbreaking findings on market skewness and explain why identifying winning stocks is far harder than social media and headlines suggest.
