Long-Term Market Picture
When we look at the market over the last 20 years, some clear patterns stand out. A long data view helps us understand how strong trends are built over time. In this period, a few well-known stocks and assets have shown very big growth. This kind of data often shapes how people think about investing.

Strong Returns in the Past
Over these 20 years, Tata Consultancy Services gave around 1900% return. Infosys also did very well with about 1068% return.

In the same time, the Nifty gave close to 800% return. Gold also moved near 1900%. These numbers show how powerful long-term growth can be.

How Investor Thinking Gets Shaped
When stocks rise for many years, a full generation sees only growth. This creates a strong belief that such stocks can never fall or underperform. People start thinking these companies will always fix themselves, no matter what happens. This mindset slowly becomes part of market behavior.

Why This Thinking Can Be Risky
The biggest mistake is believing that a stock that did well in the past will always do well. No stock can keep rising forever.

Markets change, business models change, and new technology keeps coming. Big growth in the past does not mean the same growth will continue in the future.

Need to Change With Time
Today, fast changes like AI are creating new pressure on old business models. Because of this, these stocks have not given strong returns in the last five years. This clearly shows why investors must change their view with time. Money should move to sectors and assets that are doing well now. Holding one stock blindly and hoping it will always perform is one of the biggest mistakes in investing.
