yeah it's more complicated. presumably it involves reading the news and balance sheets and gossiping with hedge fund people, and even then the market is always unpredictable.
that said, most investors aim for exponential growth. so measuring how much exponential growth they've achieved is worth something. more importantly, I want exponential growth, so I'm taking my business to whoever has been (and so might continue) doing that.
idk I was getting 15-20% growth year-on-year with the stupidest analysis. so this is a step up, which works for me. I did this with 2007–2017 data, I would've had 15.2% growth in 2017-18 instead of 13.6%, while the SNP500 and 100 dipped.
might try 2008–2018 data later. coronavirus market is full of shit
