It must have been nice in the early 2010s to be so smart to predict AI would be a huge hit (after a couple previous AI winters) and that GPUs would be the key and that NVIDIA specifically would reap the benefits. But I'm sure you're smarter than me and a lot of other people. And AMD also did pretty well during much of that same period although I sadly sold my modest holdings after they went nowhere for years after spiking with some adoption by the big server makers. It would probably have made more sense to bet on Intel during that period.



Exactly. The point is that the only way you can know that a particular "strategy" was market-beating is by looking back after the fact. Just like you can only know who is a good coin flipper after running 10 trials and looking back at who flipped heads 10 times. And the strategies will be similarly repeatable.
