This exactly. I work at FAANG and am so tired of the stereotype. Lots of very mediocre people everywhere

Since when was investing the simple act of vanilla stock picking? And I don’t care what the government reports as inflation. Your problem is you don’t actually understand investing from a professional and practical point of view, it’s very different behind closed doors in the real world.

Dude I’m too busy to argue with you, I literally used to regularly interact with people making these returns. Yes it’s hard and it’s a full time job. But it happens all the time, academic research is worthless. Accepting index returns basically means keeping up with inflation, and “getting rich” at 70 years old. If that’s what your aim is in life then sure, go for it

No. Stop it with this mentality. When managing a small portfolio, < 5 million dollars, you can be very agile in how you invest. Small hedge funds in NYC with less than 10 million under management regularly make 50-100% a year. It’s not a controversial opinion. It’s just that the financial industry has pushed this narrative as a way to sell index fund products. Completely diversifying your investments is a terrible way to make money. Warren buffet himself says this all the time. Source is I used to work in finance in NYC

People absolutely beat the market over time. The investment world when they say no one beats the market, are referring to investment managers moving billions of dollars. As a regular guy, you can. It’s sad to see this terrible advice repeated ad nauseam

Also an engineer at FAANG, just started working on a startup in this space. I’ve got an idea I think is valuable, I started out thinking like you, came to the conclusion that the UX is mostly solved, but using ML, there’s a lot of value to be built on top. If you’d be interested in working on something, let me know. I’m at about a light MVP. Shoot me an email at [email protected]
