Stanley Druckenmiller: 30% CAGR for 30 year period and not a single losing year!
Warren Buffett did a 20% CAGR over his whole career
Peter Lynch had a 29% CAGR between 1977 and 1990
Jim Simons with a mind-blowing 66% performance each year between 1988 and 2018 (different strategy though)
The past 3.5 year might have you believe that outlandish returns of 30-50%+ each year are normal.
They are not.
While it might feel like we are the best investors in the world right now, I can tell you for a fact that it won't stay like this forever.
Be humble. Be critical. And know when to stop taking risks.
People on FinX and Substack try to convince you that we will keep chopping away at a 100%+ CAGR infinitely.
We won't.
