Predicting 20-25 years out is impossible
5-10 years ago would you have predicted Global Pandemic, Arcadia failure, Oil price crash, Trump president, U.K. leaves EU etc
I guess you correctly predicted Blockbuster, Kodak, Nokia, Yahoo, Blackberry, MySpace, Motorola, Palm, Radio Shack, PanAm, Sony Walkman, Google Glass, Netscape, Toys R Us, HMV, Compaq, Enron, Clinton Cards, AOL, Ericsson, Nortel .. etc all being 100 baggers, because in their day they would have been seen as such, but are no more
There is absoloutely nothing stopping Amazon, Alibaba, Shein, ASOS or another wiping them out in 5-10 years
Short term we only need 2-4 more lockdowns with new variants, mutations with no vaccine, Covid-22 etc creating mass unemployment & recession and in 2-3 years it could fall apart, a stock market reset/crash or the world goes plastic on fast fashion, US creates its own BOO as China has with Shein then demand drops, EU/US restrictions or high costs ... loads can happen we cannot predict but are visible possibilities
I don't want it - but history teaches a lot & we have to learn & adapt
BOO should be worth more today for sure - no question there but I'm not planning for a sale @ 3330p as I'm enjoying my life today. Goals of 1-3 years are more realistic then reevaluate. There will be many more growth stocks out there. I personally think BOO "could" be 2x from here in 2-3 years, all being well.
