I prefer money to fame. Actually fame is negative in this sense.
And yes, the power of compounding does that. But I try hard to spend more, I’m old and don’t need to be the richest man in the graveyard.
Just checked: it made me 3.681 of USD 1 in a bit under 6 years and with taking out some for living. But then I am not at 28%, the XIRR function says it is 27.2% for my mechanical momentum strategy.
It probably stops to scale someday and then it will be much more difficult to keep up this performance anyhow.
BTW: for my accounting I publish every trade and a monthly summary in my mechanical investment strategies thread.
