You've stated what took me 30 years to understand, starting at age 40. It's not the size of the pile, the buying and selling, the seeking for the next google or apple, it's investing in Solid companies that have paid and have grown their dividend for many years that counts. Buy those companies, reinvest the dividends, and never sell. You'll see your investment grow and retire happy.
