Thread: Lol at buying individual stocks over index funds

VOO has an annual roi of about 14%, same with VTI

Does the average miscer really think they can beat that over a 10 year run?

Lol at not being 100% GME

main index perk is you know itll go up eventually. Long run the market always will (if not we are in deep doo doo). So you can love Apple, Amazon, or old blue chips like GE and *** all you want. If it dips you have no idea if or when it will return. May be 10 years, may be never.

You can take a recession on the chin and VTI should be back at the longest 2-3 years. The 'sit and forget' investing approach is underrated. That said the moon shot FOMO is very real. You protect and build wealth (slowly) with index funds. You dont get rich quick from it

I'm not sure about that 14% number? I'm pretty sure the long-term historical annual average price appreciation of the S&P 500 is 7-8%, and total return with dividend re-investment is ~10%... is it actually 14%?

I just am more comfortable with market cap on video game potential being so much higher then say chwy which is pet products and meds. The 500mil raised pushing transformation. Viral marketing via news/Reddit. New board members from Amazon, google etc..

The approach the board has taken has been supportive of retail and acknowledges the squeeze. Massive amounts of proxy voting currently could show proof of massive naked shorting, and the whales involved are people I’m comfortable sharing a similar position too. But even without a squeeze which I view as inevitable, I fully believe in the direction of the company.

The HF commited to GME going bankrupt. And it simply WILL NOT Happen. Combining the amount of shorts with positive long outlook and I’m happy. AMC needs a lot more capital and is more than happy to make more shares available imo

He might be thinking long-term. 14% over 25-30 years can get you a ton of money -

I see where your value is coming from. Assuming the S&P 500 will continue the same performance its seen over the past 10 years (keep in mind, the past decade we've been in is what many people refer to as the longest bull market ever) is a very aggressive assumption. VOO has only been around since 2010 (various popular S&P 500 index funds have existed under various names) so its impossible to quickly and simply measure VOO's historical performance over several decades. But I think over like 30+ years, the S&P 500 is around ~10% with dividend re-investment

Consistently beating the S&P 500 and actually earning ~15% annual return LONG TERM (like for 30 years) would be extremely impressive - like Warren Buffett level investor

Bro, you could die tomorrow. I ain't investing chit with the plan of getting rich in 30 fooking years.

Investing in the S&P over a 30 yr span (50-80, 51-81, 52-82, all the way up to 90-20) has never yielded less than a 11.04% average annual return.

My stock picking TTM return: 884%

OP you mad I made more on crypto in a couple months than you did in 10 years of your chitdex funds?

ha, you can get 14% in a day on crypto

Or put $10k in ETH back in March 2020 and it is worth $350,000 today

Crypto will be the next dot com implosion. The exact same thing that happened then is happening now. People trying to jump on the next rocket to the moon will eventually realize that what they are holding at astronomical prices has next to no underlying value. It will crash without warning, quickly, not giving longs a chance to sell.
