A CLASSIC little article here that fully documents the GLORY of long term investing. the article covers a good amount of ground beyond what is in the headline. How Many Stocks Outperform the Stock Market? https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2025/10/how-many-stocks-outperform-the-stock-market/ Bottom line...outperforming the SP500 is hard. AND...doing so consistently is just about unheard of. Again....we are a rare bunch on this thread. And........picking winning stocks is hard and it is harder yet to stay in them for the long term. As the article says: "Buy-and-hold is probably your best bet when owning individual stocks but it’s not easy to sit on your hands and wait."
Here is the markets today to close out the week. Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq surge to records as tame inflation cements Fed rate cut bets https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live...tion-cements-fed-rate-cut-bets-200014567.html
