In 2007, the hit TV show South Park introduced one of its most memorable characters yet: The superhero Captain Hindsight.
Captain Hindsight would have made a surprisingly good investor in 2025 – a year where existing trends continued gaining momentum. Artificial intelligence… data centers… national defense…
However, hindsight-powered investing often backfires. No asset goes up in value forever, and buying high-growth stocks in a bear market usually magnifies losses.
Plenty more trends today exist that Captain Hindsight has clearly missed.
