re Buffett it is worth remembering that he has had many bad years or runs of years where he underperformed and "only" made 20% annualised returns, but he did do that over 55years.
Many investors expect to much, to quickly IMO.
$1000 at 20% compounding over 55years = $22,644,000
And WB made 99% of his wealth over the age of 50.
If you managed to 1 bag every year after 55 years $1 would be $36,028,797,018,964,968 or 1000 times the GNP of the USA, China and Japan
Its not going to happen. Expect the ups and downs, invest in good companies and give them time; and don't expect too much.
