The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

To get 25% per year for 10 years will require some work. I doubt identifying a stock today and let it sit for 10 years will have a high probability of success.

Perhaps something with a higher probability of success, but by no means a high probability of success, is to use a timing system on QQQ and leverage. Not easy, but then making 25% per year is not easy!

Using a system of QQQ being above 0.92 of it's trailing 180 returns provides about 15% per year and 36% drawdown. Add to that non callable leverage such as futures would give 25% per year. Of course, it could also give you much less, but would it be less than a one stock pick?
