First you need to define “beat”. Usually people think of it as “better return”, but investors prefer Sharpe or other measures.

Then you need to define a term. Eventually holding treasury bonds is likely to “beat” s&p. You just need to wait for the next big selloff.

And then there is no magic bullet nor free lunch. It’s all a big casino.

Anyone who assures you otherwise is not to be trusted.

I had a college roomate who gambled with his student loans in the stock market.

He tried to convince me to invest a few weeks before COVID tanked the market. He even questioned me why I was waiting to pull the trigger.
