In 2018, after 10 years of active investing (and a lot of work) and achieving performance roughly equivalent to the performance of the S&P, I made a big bet that both Berkshire and Fairfax were likely to outperform the market in the following 10 years. I consolidated my portfolio into those 2 stocks and was just willing to let the thesis play out. So far so good. Investing is one of those things where increased work intensity does not always equate to better performance. Even if you have the ability to outperform the market by 1%-2%, is it worth the effort based on how much time it takes you away from your other interests? Even Ed Thorp pulled out and invested in Berkshire. The old saying goes, not everyone can be an Olympic gold medalist, but everyone can try and in investing there are a lot of people who think they are the next gold medalist...
