All this time i believed the bogleheads and i've invested a lump sum of euros about a year ago, half in S&P500 and half in a world ETF.
You know what happened? the dollar lost at least 10% because of excessive printing and the real gain was below 5%. And this is still going on. Their scam is to collapse the coin value just so they can avoid a complete US market crash, so they keep printing and pumping it with pension funds every time a correction is caused by call options collapsing. I would of been fine by just buying plain eur hedged gold. That's not requiring any skills or special knowledge, and by chance it actually grew immensely.
And most important, while i was sleeping, first trend of stocks like Nvidia, AMD, and other semiconductors exploded, then Alphabet and few more; and i did not follow the market thanks to that doctrine. These were consistent grows for solid companies, and if i would of invested while they were trending, not even today would i had lost money, probably not even in a future cyclical dump; but would of gained at least double/triple than the S&P. Then while i had my money stuck and started noticing the market regarding the previous mentioned winners, out of nowhere stocks like Western Digital and Seagate or Micron and Samsung went parabolic gradually(Sandisk atm), which all are a buy right now. Only real investors doubled their money following the money. Point is not even today would i notice them, until the news start reporting them like Nvidia, and that's the moment to get out actually.
The people like me were stuck with an index fund that follows 20% falling stars, 10% bankrupt companies, 10% dumb stale companies no one invests or takes money out, and Buffet's BRK company that seems to go in reverse with the market for some reason, which obviously is counter productive to any real growth.
So yea, value investing in momentum short term companies with potential is much more important, because after you invest, if the growth continues, you're going to be protected in case of a dump, unlike S&P or BRK and other nonsense.
My most important lesson is, buying a premium account at a decent market screener is the best investment i've ever done. Hope it helps you all here!
