A win is a win. Consistency matters a lot more than one big day.

Most successful investors I know focus less on today’s gain and more on whether they’re following a strategy that can compound over the next 5, 10, or 20 years.

What was the investment, if you don’t mind me asking?

You think about your investments one day at a time?

Sounds disastrous, not to mention exhausting.
