I am quite sure that learning math has nothing to do at all with investments doing well. Would be a classic example of having made money, but getting the reason for why wrong.

The markets have been uponly since 2020 in general, so no surprise if one were invested, especially in technology, that one would have done well.

Well if you learn about financial engineering you can come up with a wider range of investing propositions but even that won’t necessarily translate to better portfolio returns.

OP is not aware of what he is not aware of (as we all are).

Surprised they spent 1000 days on math and still don’t understand correlation is not causation
