>Returns like that are not asymmetrical and can only be produced with leverage
This is simply untrue. Just because the path to doing so is much more clear in hindsight doesn't mean it wasn't possible.
Sandisk is still up 110.82% in the last 6 months, and that's after a drawdown that's now approaching 50% from peak. Over the last year, they're up 2730%, and again, this is after the drawdown. Zero leverage.
The skill in the stock market, and the value of any kind of investment fund, is producing good returns over an actual long-term period. YOLO-ing once before imploding in one of the biggest bull markets ever can be done by any gambling degenerate out there.
