Michael Phelps - 22 individual Olympic medals & 26 in total. Going strong and more to come in a couple of days 🙂

Everyone calls him the Greatest Olympian - Yes, in terms of medals, undoubtedly.

Let's dig in a bit of data points -

There are 17 Disciplines (17 golds or be won) in an Olympic Swimming event (next only to athletics).

All his medals have come in from 'freestyle', 'butterfly' & 'medley' styles of swimming.

All in 100 & 200 meters of swimming, only. Including the team events where he had to swim for a maximum of 200 mts

He is an Olympic swimmer since 2004.

We don't need tonnes of Investment Options in a portfolio to make money.

We just need limited, simple options delivering more than ordinary results, consistently & over a longer time frame.

Participating in 17 events was not necessary for Phelps to earn the 'Greatest Olympian' title or 26 +++ medals.

A small portion of a portfolio delivering superlative results is the only requirement for a 'Greatest Portfolio Medal'.

Phelps never had to swim for more than 200 mts to win a medal, but an investor definitely has to swim in a 'Portfolio Pool' for a long time before earning Golds 🙂

Golds - for Consistent, Simple yet Effective long term options.
