30-years annualized returns for investors

Has the market lost its mind? Of course, we are always told the market is always right. But something indeed really weird is occurring everyday now: This week, for example, CARV has rallied from $2 to $16, and UONE has gone from $2 to $44. There's no news on either company to account for the moves. The only thing that may explain is that most customers of both firms are African-American. As such, the market FOMOs may be thinking that what is happening now in the US must be great for the companies and therefor chasing them to the moon?!👶😳  

Sure from time to time, some people may get lucky by chasing but in general, this kind of reckless investing and trading will not end well. My friend forwarded me this chart which is very interesting and telling. It is the average annualized return by asset class in the past 30 years. If investors in general is also considered as an asset class, then it is scored at the very bottom, with a return even barely beating inflation I believe.

The message? Choose any asset class you like and put your money there without touching it. You have a higher chance to get a much better return over time!
