From my latest article, some of the best long-term returns from great investors.
Would you add any to the list?
🟢 Warren Buffett: From 1957 to 1968, he produced annualized returns of 31.6% for his partnership.
🟢 Charlie Munger: From 1962 to 1975, 19.8% annualized for his partnership.
🟢 Walter Schloss: From 1956 to 1984, for 28 years, 21.3% per year.
🟢 Ted Weschler: From 1989 to 2012, he turned $70,385 into $131 million in his IRA account, equivalent to about 39% per year.
🟢 Joel Greenblatt: From 1985 to 1994, a stunning 50% per year.
🟢 George Soros: From 1969 through 1994, the Quantum Fund produced 35% annualized returns.
🟢 Stan Druckenmiller: Returned 31% per year over 30 years. I believe this record overlaps with Soros’s above.
🟢 Jim Simons: From 1988 to 2018, Renaissance Technologies’ Medallion Fund generated an incredible 66.1% average gross annual return.
🟢 Peter Lynch: From 1977 to 1990, for the Fidelity Magellan Fund, he produced a 28.9% annualized return. The fund grew from $18 million to $14 billion.

🟢 Tom Knapp: From 1968 to 1983, for Tweedy, Browne Partners, 20.0% annualized returns.
🟢 Lou Simpson: From 1980 to 2004, 20.3% per year for the GEICO equity portfolio.

@iancassel @iancassel rereading your Intelligent Fanatics Project. Great stuff.
It seems the key is identifying intelligent fanatics today.
Is Jeff an example of an intelligent fanatic?
Who else do you see today that might be considered an IF 30 years from now?

Jeff is a good friend of mine and I find this return borderline offensive 😆

Andrew Huberman’s 4:33 breathing protocol that turns stress into superpower:
Deliberately flood your body with adrenaline (cold shower, ice bath, or TUMO-style breathing: 25–30 fast breaths in nose/out mouth → exhale & hold 15–30 sec → repeat 3 rounds → big inhale & relax hold).
Result?
• You become very alert yet profoundly calm
• Perfect neuroplasticity state for learning (like 3 espressos + theanine + perfect sleep)
• Adrenaline signals spleen → releases killer immune cells → faster healing
• Builds stress resilience — you learn to stay chill in high-adrenaline states
Warning: NEVER do breath holds in water/bathtub (4+ deaths reported) or while driving.
Do 1–3×/week. You’ll discover your own relationship to adrenaline.

Who’s trying Huberman’s adrenaline → calm protocol this week?

@ankurnagpal Thanks for taking the time to write this out. Nice work.

When I sold my business in 2020, I had no idea what to do with the money I made
So I ran an A/B test
I gave half to a famous private bank to manage while I invested the other half
Here are the results five years later:

@fire_ozgur As an investor in RYGYO, my main concern is the inflation of the Turkish lira. Sounds like the TL inflation rate was ~35% in 2025. That significantly decreases the massive gain…although still impressive.

Reysaş GYO 2025 yılsonu toplam gayrimenkul portföyünün büyüklüğü 2024 yılsonu değeri olan 57 milyar TL'ye göre yaklaşık %65'lik artışla 94 milyar TL'ye ulaşmıştır.
Bunun tamamının değer artışı olmadığını unutmayalım, yapılan alımlar ile beraber portföy buraya ulaştı. Yine de borçlu pozisyonun çok düşük olduğunu düşünürsek şirketin mevcut piyasa değerine göre önemli bir portföy büyüklüğü diyebiliriz.

Gemini 3 just dropped yesterday… and if you run ecom, you better lock the f*ck in.
I’ve spent the last 5 months testing every major AI model for ecom
Claude Sonnet 4.5
GPT-5
DeepSeek R1
Higgsfield
All killers. All useful.
But Gemini 3?
It’s a complete shift in how ecom brands will operate.
Here’s what I saw in the first 48 hours:
→ It identifies winning ad angles in seconds (shit that used to take agencies weeks)
→ It breaks down competitor funnels with scary accuracy
→ It rewrites hooks in your brand voice without losing tension
→ It builds offer variations that actually convert, not generic template trash
→ It generates new creative concepts faster than you can test them
This isn’t “AI that helps.”
This is “AI that replaces 3 people on your team without blinking.”
I ran it through 150+ creative tests, 12 funnels, and 40+ product angles.
The results were insane:
5 new creative concepts that hit above 1.7 ROAS on cold
CPC dropped 22% on two of my testing campaigns
It found competitor patterns inside Gethookd that I didn’t even see
It generated STATIC ads that looked handcrafted — not AI-goo
It gave me 20 hooks from one single winning angle (no more blank page syndrome)
And here’s the part nobody is ready for:
Your competitors who adopt Gemini 3 early will scale faster than you can react.
Not because they're smarter…
But because their creative volume just multiplied overnight.
Ecom is a speed game.
If you’re still:
launching 3 creatives a week
guessing angles
manually analyzing competitors
spending days writing scripts
relying on outdated product research methods
…you’re gonna get buried by brands using Gemini to pump out:
50 creatives a week
6–8 new angles every Monday
daily funnel audits
real-time offer iteration
instant competitor teardown
This is the “GEM” moment for ecom — the same way Meta’s GEM update punished slow advertisers, Gemini 3 is about to punish slow operators.
If you want to stay relevant in 2025 ecom:
Start using AI as your creative engine
Build systems around it
Scale faster than your competitors can blink
And if you want the exact Gemini prompts I’m using to generate high-performing angles, hooks, scripts, and PDP upgrades:

Comment “GEMINI" and I'll send it over.

@dividendology Surprised more aren’t looking at smaller caps that fit the Alchemy of a Multibagger criteria.
English

@Matt_Kolb_ @TacticzH Agreed. Alchemy of a Multibagger paper shows $300M to $2B is the place to look.
