Do You Have Experience Where Stock Gains > Options?
Over the past 10 years, both $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $CME Bitcoin - main 2507(BTCmain)$ have delivered returns of up to 30,000%.
In our community, we've also seen many users post over 100% gains from holding the underlying stock—some even outperforming options.
For example, after TSM’s earnings surge yesterday, one user shared a 222% gain from holding the stock; another posted a 113% return on Nvidia shares! If they had bought before the stock split, the gains would be even higher. Do you have an even greater return?
And let’s not forget the recent boom in crypto-related stocks— $SharpLink Gaming(SBET)$ delivered a shocking 269% return on the stock alone, beating its own options!
With gains this high, do you still believe in the leverage of options?
Or do you believe in the magic of time?
Have you made such impressive returns from holding stock?

That said, I believe in the power of time. Some stocks can deliver explosive returns if you hold them long enough. My best performer so far is $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ . I’ve been averaging up using DCA & its growth in AI and government contracts has really paid off.
I’ve seen others make huge gains with options, and that’s great for them—but I stick with what suits me. Long-term stock investing gives me peace of mind and solid results. I’m excited to see where PLTR goes in the next few years. Sometimes, patience really is the best form of leverage. I’d rather ride with a strong company through its journey than try to time short-term moves. Slow and steady still wins the race for me.

Time is often important for any investment tool. We need time for growth and we need time for the 8th wonder of the world- compounding. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be this wise saying of time in the market is more important than timing the market. Timing the market is something that even experts can get it wrong.
I haven’t made such impressive returns in percentage from stocks. However, on top of percentage to evaluate if our investment can even beat inflation, I think the absolute return is also important. If a 100% return only yield $1000, I rather even a 10% return with $2000.
There are such stocks out in the market....
Of course it really depends on your risk appetite.Holding stocks is definitely much lower risk than options
DBS 5 year return is an astounding 193%. Options? Time decaying and emotionally exhausting.
DBS's dividends and capital growth is compounding at its best.
Options may be flirty but with DBS , magic happens over time. DBS isn't just a bank. It is a compounding machine with a dividend crown that is hard to beat!
Go Long Go Strong Go DBS! 🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬

最让我印象深刻的是我早年买进NVIDIA的时候——那时候根本没人把它当AI龙头看，只觉得是做显卡的。但我看好GPU技术在未来运算里的潜力，就一直拿着，中间经历了几轮震荡、甚至被市场忽视的阶段。直到2023年之后AI大爆发，我才意识到，这不是暴富，是时间在帮我抬价。当我看到自己的仓位涨超100%，甚至翻倍的时候，我明白了一个词——复利。
你说像TSM涨222%、NVIDIA涨113%、SBET涨269%，这些当然令人羡慕，但你仔细看，真正吃到大肉的人，都是有信念、有耐心的人。他们不是随便追高，而是看准方向，死拿不动。哪怕期间被洗盘、被唱衰，他们都挺过来了。
我不是说期权不好，期权有它的策略价值。但时间的魔力，是一种常人低估却最可靠的力量。不是每一次都要激进，有时候，慢就是快。我的经验是：选对趋势，拿得住股票，比频繁交易更能打。
