>but I heard that pros have a 5%-8% growth a month on their portfolios isnt aiming for getting half of that trading a good goal?
Maybe they do that sometimes. I'm up 24.83% for the last 3 months as you can see.
However, that's never been done long-term. And that's the thing to focus on!
Warren Buffett is the best investor alive because he's had the highest rate of return (for a human that's not leveraging algorithmic trading) over a multi-decade, full-career stretch.
Hedge funds get much higher returns in a one year period, but they also completely fucking blow out and get liquidated all the time.

>So wait, you are telling me that since big companies are too big to fail because microsoft or apple going bankrupt is almost imposible in the near future, not only that but they are actually going always up in the long term I can just keep investing in them, take the profit invest in more companies like that and then reach a point where the money just flows alone?
>you are telling me that since big companies are too big to fail
No, and that's a terrible statement to make.
However, when it looks like there's a risk that they can fail, everyone can tell from their quarterly reports and bail long before it actually happens -- that's what's happening with Tesla; it probably won't actually fail, but the math shows that it CAN by the end of the year.
>not only that but they are actually going always up in the long term I can just keep investing in them
No, they're definitely not always going up. Many have had red days. Some have had more than red days -- Yahoo, GE, Lehman Brothers -- Yahoo was actually regarded as the pinnacle of tech companies about 2 decades ago
>then reach a point where the money just flows alone
Some people live off their investments. You really have to know your shit though.
