Fantastic piece. I like how you highlight that the path to 100-baggers is rarely smooth or obvious.
The insight that even the fastest winners took over a decade (with brutal drawdowns along the way) is a humbling reminder: staying power is what compounds the most.
Gardner’s record speaks for itself, but not everyone’s temperament fits the 100-bagger path. Holding through 60% drawdowns sounds noble until you’re living through one. Eventually every investor figures out whether they’re built for growth, dividends, or income — the key is knowing your lane and staying there.

I like that last sentence. The hardest thing is to know when to hold and when to trim

Self awareness is key. Every investor needs to find 'their' strategy
Sezzle ticks most boxes and is a strong candidate imo
Great post.
