Would you rather:
A) make 10%/yr forever
B) beat the S&P500 by 3%/yr forever?

Agree with where you've ended up. The key is meeting or exceeding your personal objectives and requirements; not beating or measuring against an index.

I don't care about relative performance in the short term. All investors should focus on is solid, average absolute return that can be sustained for a long period of time.

Goal is 16% with a 25% margin of safety. Hope to make at least 12%.

To me if I best the index great but really I just want to own really great businesses that will pay me either cash or equity over time.

Could you make a video on iRobot? I feel it lives up to everything that you preach, but it has been dropping a lot.

I just subscribed and am enjoying your uploads. Your accent is a bit distracting because I keep hearing Ted West from "Westside" and "Outrageous Fortune" -- that's not an accent we hear very often in New Orleans. Great videos, though -- you have the heart of a teacher.

Great work and I highly appreciate if you could make a video about most growth companies in stock market 💰💚💰💚

how much did you put in thor? (5%, 10%, 3%?)

[siggiAg]

Agreed! P.s. shouldn’t your channel be called “The Shameless Cloner”?😅
