Interesting to see who actually won the race over different timeframes.
5-year winners look nothing like the 10-year list. The 15-year champions are different again. And the 20-year survivors? Completely different roster.
This is why chasing last year's hot stock rarely works. The names that dominated 2019-2024 weren't the same ones that crushed it 2014-2024. Different cycles reward different businesses.
What looks unstoppable today might be irrelevant in a decade. What seems boring now might compound quietly into a monster.
The lesson isn't complicated: time horizon matters more than most people think. If you're constantly rotating into whatever worked recently, you're probably buying high and missing the next wave.
Patience beats performance chasing. Always has.
