How Tennis Can Help Us Become Better Investors
Roger Federer has won 103 singles titles over his 25-year career, behind only Jimmy Connors who has had 109 singles titles.
What is interesting is that he “only” won a little more than half the points he played, 54% to be exact.
Compound that slight advantage across his games and that results in him winning 76% of sets and 82% of matches. Small wins and consistency add up.
It Matches & Points to a Pattern
These numbers are strikingly similar for the stock market.
Since 1990 to now, stocks are up about 54% of the days. If you stay invested, those gains add up over time.
Adding up those small wins in days, stocks are up for 72% of quarters and 82% of years.
Like tennis, a marginal advantage in markets over time can lead to a successful investment experience.
