The rules of 80/20 applyS&P 500SPCFD:SPXdchua1969Ever since learning this rule - 80/20 , I have found that it is very applicable not only in investing but also in our daily lives as well. 80% of my portfolio growth comes from 20% of the stocks I owned. Similarly, in my wardrobe, I spent 80% of my time wearing only 20% of my usual clothings! Does this reflect the same pattern for you as well? It could be 70/30 or 75/25 , the exact numbers are not important but the concept is. This helps us to plan our TIME properly and spent it wisely on things that matter to us. For me, my work (which drives active income) which gives me the investment income , my hobbies (things I love doing ), my family , etc. Instead of showing all the markets performance like before, I chose only the top 3 best performer to date! In Europe, it is Germany, the DAX index registering a growth of 17.52% , US, the SPX500 at 22.52% and the clear winner is Japan, the Nikkei 225 at 28.5% (highest was 43%)!!! (using the lowest point - March 2026 as base point to current) Of course, this is a simplistic way of looking at returns and not everyone will agree, as each investor has their own objectives, time frame, risk appetite, etc. If you have invested in all 3, congrats ! Aim to have at least 1 of this in your portfolio, you will see the immense growth over the years ! Best of luck!
