Many times, I have been hearing others on the hypotheticals of getting rich from certain assets/securities if he/she had gone in earlier (GameStop, anyone?). Similar for portfolio make-ups, where certain asset allocation provided the best returns for certain periods.
For the above to happen, one’s foresight would truly need to be accurate, but as I had shared countless times, no one can predict right to the exact detail, so there is no point lamenting on missed chances.

I acknowledge that it is in the interest of every investor and trader to maximise their returns from their investments and positions, but it is near impossible to win all the time. The best one could do is to stick to one’s plan that works, perform due diligence in carrying out portfolio building and fundamental analysis, and realise that ups and downs are inherent in the investing/trading journey.
Though it is good to know about how much returns investing greats and some individuals on social media generate, it is preferable to gain some insights and learning points from them, rather than invoke feelings of envy and jealousy. Everyone’s financial journeys and objectives are unique from one another.
