Buy & Hold: Why It Works—and Why Stars Leads the Way
The wealth of the world’s most successful investors didn’t come from chasing trends. It came from buy and hold.
When you hold quality assets—whether a single stock or a portfolio—the longer the time horizon, the closer your accuracy moves toward 100%. Eventually, the price is far above your purchase point.
So, what do you buy? You want something that constantly improves. For me, that’s TQQQ and SPY. The ETFs do the stock-picking for you, but rebalancing is key (otherwise TQQQ grows too large).
What about risk? With returns this high, after a couple years the probability of loss disappears. The bigger risk is actually lost opportunity. Over five years, a 20% S&P correction may create a 35% drawdown—but Stars outperforms the S&P by 19 percentage points annually. That’s an 80% opportunity cost if you aren’t invested.
Repeatability? That’s where Stars shines. The strategy does the same thing again and again—consistent, repeatable, and always above the S&P.
👉 That’s why I believe Stars is the best buy-and-hold strategy today.
