But, when you are successful in moving up the Inverted Pyramid of Investing, every successful move up the ladder will give you better opportunity. But, you may or may not be better than employee, as you now may have more things to worry about. Just like investing more will likely make you more, waiting longer will make you more as well. But even this simplicity, fact, and empirical data is not enough to overcome the stupidity and ignorance of most Americans (and thus why I no longer care and enjoy the decline). I liked this so much I even put it into my book, where it appears as the the “Semi Automatic Trader” character. 100K account requires only 5% ROC, and definitely it is so much easier now. 50K capital, it requires you investing right to get the 10% ROC, certainly it is not an easy task. For much smaller capital, ROC on value stocks is really not too bad either.

For much smaller capital, ROC on value stocks is not too bad either. Could anyone tell me what is nett ROC over 5-8 years time frame for property investment?

The performance of these mutual funds is dependent on the movement of stock prices of these companies. Some funds will invest in one specific class of assets, some in a mix of assets.

For emotional control, think like a property investor so you too will never see any unrealized losses throughout your holding period.

So does it make sense that Buffett owns some of the most distinguished brand names like Coca Cola, Gilette, Kraft? However, staying as an employee can be a false sense of job security too. Employee is getting paid for conducting personal disposal task in the toilet, but not sure about self-employed, you are getting paid too? Then the sub-prime mortgage came along and suddenly some of the shares on my watchlist were getting cheaper. However, the discipline of meeting regular mortgage payments and gradually taking ownership of a tangible asset, means home owners usually do better financially than those who rent.
