New research suggests that Warren Buffett's Apple investment might not payoff over the next decade. Dimensional Fund Advisors tracked the largest 10 US stocks at the start of each decade since 1930. Business Insider reports that DFA found that on average, they underperformed the market by 1.1% over the next five years and 1.5% over 10 years.
