A $10k investment becomes $3.8m, $50k - $19m.
It makes me wonder whether it is possible to develop competencies to spot such opportunities or are such things purely luck dependent like TOTO ?
As value investors, we look at valuation, studying the business prospects/industry, company, etc. On top of that, we may follow the company for years, and we may wait for years for the profit to increase and the corresponding valuation. A lifetime of value investing looking at cash flows, P/E, etc may not achieve the same kind of returns.
Perhaps one day, someone may be able to develop a methodology for a reasonable chance at spotting outliers.
