Well the 80% is possible, but unlikely. Certainly not a guaranteed or long-term rate of return. (one year you might get 80, but if you lose the same 80 the following year then you're behind!).

I agree with your last line...if its that easy then why isn't everyone doing it? Its because its not that easy....not even a majority of fund managers beat the index every year, and they definitely should know what they are doing!
