The NASDAQ went up 44% in 2020. I stopped reading because the entire post is founded on a bullshit assumption--that comparing your returns to 7% makes sense. It doesn't. Compare your returns to the actual years you've invested! Using long-run average stats makes no sense if you have something more accurate to go on--namely the average for the years YOU've been investing.
The thing that really chafes my ass about r-slurs like you is that you're not ever looking for evidence proving that you're wrong, only that you're right. If I say "I made over 100% returns in 2020" you say that was a lucky year for me and my average returns are more important. If I measure my average returns to show that I am besting the market year over year consistently, you shift focus to specifics. That's why I say that the only way to prove I'm right is to talk to a reporter. Ignorant people like you never want to listen to evidence that proves you wrong. You literally admitted that you didn't finish reading the post, yet you still feel qualified to criticize it.
Thanks, I'm sorry I called you an r-slur. I just get a lot of skepticism about my methods and proofs just because I'm abrasive, and it feels like a lot of people don't want to believe my science not because of my evidence but simply because they find me unlikable. It's very frustrating.

Glad to see you made 110 percent in 2020, that's insane. I just think apples-to-apples throughout would make your case better.
