    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."
