This year, FANG stocks are falling victim to the notion that top performers rarely show a repeat performance the following year. Since 2005, the top 10 stocks underperformed the following year by an average 290 basis points.

“This should present investors with a return in the region of 9 percent through to September, ceteris paribus. What the Federal Reserve decides to do between then and now could either enhance or hinder its progress, but we do see this as the higher probability result,” adds Seeking Alpha.
