According to @QCompounding, legendary value investor Walter Schloss achieved a 21% annual return over 47 years, and the account shared a 65-page PDF that teaches his approach to outperforming the market (source: @QCompounding). According to @QCompounding, a 21% compound annual growth rate over 47 years implies that USD 1 would grow to roughly USD 5,260, highlighting the power of long-horizon compounding for disciplined traders (calculation based on the 21% figure reported by @QCompounding). According to Warren E. Buffett’s 1984 essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville, Schloss’s long-term outperformance versus the market is historically documented, reinforcing the trading value of simple, rules-based value selection and patience (source: Warren E. Buffett, 1984).
