As others have mentioned already, 2008-2018 was a historic bull run and not at all representative. Anyone buying in 2008 or even sometime later was effectively making a very risky bet that the then-current recession would be over quickly and that growth would pick up again. The conventional wisdom at the time was rather different, as I'm sure you're quite aware of.

Yes, but it's the same time period of Dell's growth so it's most relevant. His investment return would also be far more surprising over most other 10 year periods. As it is... he just matched the broad market so risk (and effort) adjusted it's actually not good at all.
