Time.

That has been the best way to get returns.

I setup a 212 account when I was looking to buy our first house. I bought in small tiny chunks of industry where I was comfortable and knowledgeable in. Over the years I worked up a nice portfolio.

Anyway, long story short. I forgot about the account, we moved in, got a dog, had children.

And then I logged in for the first time in ages, and to my shock. My returns were at 110%. I've done nothing. It's bizarre and perplexing.

…did you beat the market? 110% is pretty much what the nasdaq has done over the last 5 years

Also N=1

time in the market beats timing the market -> Kenneth Fisher ... i learned it the hard way ;)

Yeah, uh, all I did was buy BRK.B like a decade ago and it's up 172% or something like that.

The only way I have seen people outperform is by having insider information.
