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.

Big and fast gains mean big risk which eventually and inevitably leads to big losses. Not sustainable.

with AI we might observe unprecedented levels of productivity, so not taking or reducing risks is also a risk itself

Buffer is the GOAT due to size. Simmons also explained that 66% works up to a portfolio level, after that he chucked customers out and traded with own money.
