Pre-covid it appeared to me that 10% was a reasonable benchmark to measure my own performance against. Post-covid however feels like a different market.
I had recommended soxx as a potential investment to friends in the 2021-2023 time periods and a lot of them are up 2-300%. My own portfolio is up similarly and I wouldn't have considered it to be overly aggressive (definitely aggressive but not fully porting into options or meme rally aggressive).
Is my perspective skewed or is this market rally unlike others we've seen in the past? If it is something new, does anyone want to hazard guesses on relative horizons until markets return to less volatile returns (not asking people to try and time the top I'm curious about broader time frames) if they ever do?
I would love to soundboard off of other people's perspectives.
