High reward, high risk. I have a day job and don't really want to sweat the details. I have over 140% gain on my long term holdings this year alone--with continued investment and on top of compounding from two decades. I'm quite happy as a Boglehead.

Generally true but nvda and pltr are normie stocks and can account for these returns from this year.

Boggle head is basically pick 2-3 vanguard etfs and check back in 25 years.

That's my approach. I got my quarterly statement in the mail yesterday. Looks like the market must have gone up over the past three months. Not sure what to do with this information since it's not like I'm going to change anything.

I understand where you’re coming from, but there isn’t a incongruity. Individual stock investments are a relatively small part of my overall portfolio.
