Let's first take a look at the returns of the investment masters.
1. Benjamin Graham achieved an annualized return of 14% during his 30-year investment career;
2. Warren Buffett, with an annualized return of 20.3% over 46 years;
3, Walter Schloss, 47 years of investment history, annualized return of 20.09%;
4. Peter Lynch, 13 years of brilliance, annualized return 29%;
5. Seth Karaman, 27 years old, annualized return 19%;
6, Davis Family, 47 years of perseverance, annualized return of 23%;
7. David Stevenson, 24 years old, annualized return 16.1%;
8. James Simmons, 21 years old, annualized return 35%;
9. George Soros, 29 years, with an annualized return of over 30%.
These impressive numbers tell us that achieving over 100% returns in a year may not be difficult, but the real challenge lies in being able to consistently generate stable returns. A mere annualized return of 16% is enough to qualify as a master. For ordinary people, being able to achieve double-digit annualized returns is considered a mastery among retail investors.
Long-term stability is also applicable in other areas. Take reading for example, it is not impossible to read dozens of books in a short period of time, but the real challenge lies in persistently reading more than 10 books every year for 10 years. This cannot be achieved by a momentary passion, but requires long-term self-discipline and perseverance. The same goes for writing. Producing a large number of works within a few months may bring temporary satisfaction, but the real challenge and key to success lie in continuous writing for several years.
In investment, the market is always volatile. When the market is good, we may achieve a return of 30% or even higher, but when the market is bad, the return may be only 5%. However, as long as we persist, in the long run, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) can be maintained at a relatively stable level. It's similar to our reading habits. When we are in a good mood, we may read more books, and when we are not in a good mood, we may read fewer books. But as long as we maintain the habit of reading, knowledge accumulation will be achieved unconsciously.
Continuous stable returns and persistent efforts are not only the key to investment success but also important principles for achieving various goals in life. Whether it is in learning, work, or personal growth, we are easily attracted by short-term high achievements, but often overlook the power of long-term accumulation.
