biotechs take time, but if you pick the right ones, they pay off very well.
And Honestly, it's a lot more fun and a bit more skillful than buying a USA T bill.
Or buying GE for a dividend when share price went from $370 in 2000 to a current price of $120.

Or S+P 500 index fund:
If you invested $100 in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 2000, you would have about $488.05 at the end of 2023, assuming you reinvested all dividends. This is a return on investment of 388.05%, or 6.93% per year.

Wow 7% a year. What enormously skillful returns.
But don't forget about inflation:
The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.44% per year between 2000 and 2022.

So the REAL return per year on S+P 500 index since 2000 is about 4 1/2 %.

I'm happy retiring at 54 with my IT stocks and biotech stocks.
Not sure I'd be bragging about a 4 1/2 % yearly return over the last 23 years.
