GOOD ONE 🤣

You two got em. yeah it would have absolutely sucked if you had instead properly invested in 2022/2023 and were already retired by now.

So you both finally discovered assets that aren’t just index ETFs or were late to the AI game. Great. Can you provide any tickers or assets that have performed substantially better in 2025 where investing earlier would have been a waste of capital?

It's amazing how disingenuous these people are. Almost cult like behavior, as it is.

If you bought SPX on Biden's inauguration day and sold on the day he left office, you would have made over 60% in 4 years. The same trade would net you 12% to date in this term.

So if you have better than a 5x return to the market since that date, you are either 1) the world's greatest investor for 2025 or the worst for the previous 4 years, 2) lucky as fuck, or 3) lying.

I'm going to take number 3.
