Hello Howard,

 

 I saw it in the Wall Street Journal as Goldman Sachs sponsored research.

Here is something that every stock picker needs to know.

  50% of all individual stock price behavior is attributable to the general market trend.

 Another 35% of individual stock price behavior is attributable to its industry or sector.

 That only leaves a 15% probability that all of your hard work picking individual stocks will translate to anything.

I seen those numbers mentioned over the years.  Can anyone quote a study or 'proof' of this statement.  Where do these numbers come from and how accurate are they?
