Everybody knows the power of compounding.
That's your ideal situation.

But people never knows WHAT and HOW MUCH is the cost if you suddenly suffered a 30% lost in a year due to unpredictable crash.

Example , compound 15% per year, 35% crash per 8 years (fair right).
It's a total different scenario when you compared to an "ideal" situation.

Don't compare with Warren Buffett or tell me his track record is achievable. There is only one WB , and there is only one GS.
