Historically, the $SPX500 generates an average annual return of 10%. Many beginners enter the markets chasing a +100% gain in a single month, only to burn through their capital. But let’s look at the facts: 🔹 If you manage to achieve 20% per year, you are doubling the benchmark return. 🔹 If you simply manage to consistently beat that 10% $VOO (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF) baseline, you have already won. A consistent return above this benchmark accomplishes two vital things: 1️⃣ It protects and preserves your purchasing power against inflationary devaluation. 2️⃣ It unlocks the power of compounding year after year. You don't need casino-style astronomical returns. In trading and investing, what truly matters is consistency and strict risk management. The real game is won over the long haul, not through a single lucky trade. $SPY (State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF) $SPY5.L (SS SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF) $CSPX.L (iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF)
