Held stocks provide minimal gains. Perhaps a bot to sell calls. Then your main risk is wiping out potential upside as you cry into your pile of realized gains.

High reward, high risk. I have a day job and don't really want to sweat the details. I have over 140% gain on my long term holdings this year alone--with continued investment and on top of compounding from two decades. I'm quite happy as a Boglehead.

Generally true but nvda and pltr are normie stocks and can account for these returns from this year.

I understand where you’re coming from, but there isn’t a incongruity. Individual stock investments are a relatively small part of my overall portfolio.

Vanguard says I've had a 12% rate of return. I guess I could have done active trading if I'd gone on fewer dates

		Realized return or portfolio growth?
