The S & P could be up 50% in a year but that does not mean your portfolio will see those gains. It depends on the investments you make, the stocks you own and how long you keep them. Investing/trading is never a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Wall Street likes to trick the public with their nonsense and that is one reason why the majority fail.
Thank you Christos for your input! You got me right at the point when i have to make a decision to either go to my old job or keep pushing!
Keep pushing my friend! Tough times don't last, but tough people do. 💪

Well, Wall Street likes to trick the public into thinking you need Hedge Fund Managers.
In reality you don’t. You just need to buy the S&P 500.
And if you do, and the S&P 500 is up 50% in a year, you make 50%, assuming you own the S&P 500. SPY for example.
It can be that simple, and for many of us, it has been! 😁
