Just goes to show what a game of craps we play.
My Gramps started at Esso in ~1916. Probably never sold a share, gave 1/2 to my mom, who rode it through the '90s & '00s, when XOM outperformed almost everything. When I got my 1/3 of that, I sold on ethics. Right on time!
Craps, with a minor in luck, but my Gramps & mom did have some brains. If not for them, I wouldn't be able to be so, "que sera sera" with my investing today!

ps: "Since I am just a boy at school
I asked my teacher, "What should I try?
Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"
