In high school economics, we made imaginary portfolios. A couple of students got really lucky (Storage Tech.) and made huge returns in a short period. I decided to invest in those things that my own life revolved around, plus one tip (1981):

Cenvill Retirement Communities (Florida) That was the tip.
Bally (arcade games/amusements)
Pepsico (I was working at the Pizza Hut subsidiary)
Nestle (on the Zurich exchange. I drank lots of chocolate milk)

I made "money" just fine, but so did most of the class. The experiment happened during a bull market.

And it so happens that in the six month following what’s known as the golden cross that occurred in early july when the big beautiful bill passed— that golden cross has been followed by stock market gains of about 30%. Plus the stock market gains another 10 percent or so in the next 18 months.

I’m of the opinion that with the vast investments coming into the USA and the vast technological transformation that’s coming to radically change US manufacturing and just about everything else—the USA is on a multi decade bull market comperable to the bull market of the late 1800’s with the industrial revolution.
