Of the many unusual charts Gundlach curated, we found this one interesting.

It's the performance of the S&P 500 (purple line) versus the performance of holding the just the stock of the S&P 500 company with the biggest market cap (multi-colored line).

Over the past 30 years, holding the biggest company in the S&P 500 resulted in underperforming the index by a huge margin. By that historical logic, a portfolio of S&P 500 stocks excluding the biggest company would've been a winning investment strategy.

For Gundlach, this is yet another reason not to be invested in Apple, a stock that he's been bearish on for years (even though he made money on it by briefly trading it).
