>so out of sheer luck

this sounds more like survivorship bias no? You can keep playing lucky if you want, but that's more on being lucky. I like to keep risk low and so the objective is reducing the need to be "lucky", to get more consistent results without luck and this is where having those economic fundamentals work. Economics is more than stock-picking, that's more of a finance thing imo.
