2025 in Review: Patience Pays Off, Disruptors Shake Up S&P 500, High Valuations Dont Always Predict Poor Returns2025 saw wild market swings and surprising lessons for investors. Despite terrible timing, patience can pay off, as shown by an S&P 500 index fund that gained 10% after a 20% drop. The S&P 500 is changing rapidly, with companies lasting only 16 years on average, down from 60 years in the 1950s. Disruptors are replacing a third of the index since 2015. Picking winners is tough, but holding them through massive drops is brutal. High valuations didnt doom returns this year, as sky-high price-to-earnings ratios suggested weak gains, but the S&P nearly doubled instead. Earnings growth fueled the rally. Looking ahead, history suggests good market years like this one often turn great, so stay focused on fundamentals.
