My biggest bagger was CRSP. I found it when their technology and published papers started showing up almost weekly on a podcast I enjoy (This Week in Science). I believed in their technology because the science showed CLEARLY that it had incredible possibilities.
Then their founders won nobel prizes for the tech, and they got bought into by ARK and the loonies who follow Cathie Woods.
Honestly I would say to just think and keep your eyes open. You never know where a little common sense can reveal a gem.
Like, walk into Costco and look at the line stretching all the way around the store, without an open parking space in the lot. And it's like that all the time. With the right eyes you'd look at that and say "there's something here."

ARK is super volatile, but the annualized returns are actually decent.

No one should entrust their money to ARK, [kings of wealth destruction](https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/ark-investments-tops-morningstar-list-wealth-destroying-etf-issuers-report-2024-02-05/). Steer clear.
If you want a high beta fund there are hundreds of better options, either in the passive realm, or active realm with better leadership.

UFO is pure play, ARKX has pure but mostly adjacent exposure (and it’s ARK, it’s a coin flip on returns depending on your entry and its holdings). I don’t do an ETF for this space myself. ASTS, RKLB, PL, LMT, RTX are my long term holds in this arena. ONDS and KRTS for drone shits and giggles.

Dummies were warned that they were getting scammed with the same recycled bullshit narrative. The response always is *"BTC Maxi thinks everything is a scam and doesn't understand the tech because he invested in a dinosaur coin."*

Ach Quatsch. 88 % der US Large Cap Funds laufen auf 15 Jahre schlechter als der SP 500. Die 12 % Outperformer sind teilweise einfach eine statistische Gegebenheit und vorher nicht bestimmbar. Aktive Fonds sind etwas für Verlierer.
Bei dem Pictet Ding weiß niemand ob die Performance zufällig oder systematisch war. Dazu lässt es keinerlei Rückschlüsse für die Zukunft zu. Wird es sich wiederholen ? Weiß niemand. Vor ein paar Jahren wollte alle ARK haben, weil die Alte zufällig einen Glücksgriff gemacht hat. Jetzt interessiert sich keiner mehr dafür.
Deshalb kauft man das Ding einfach nicht.
Nach deiner "Logik" kann ich direkt alle ETFs und Fonds nach der Performance der letzten 5 Jahre sortieren und #1 kaufen. Für die Persistenz von Performance gibt es eigene Statistiken und die ist auch mehr als eindeutig
