Who would you put on the Mount Rushmore of stock traders/investors?

Buffett, Munger, Lynch, and Burry (just to keep things honest)
Must point out that traders and investors are not the same thing though

Was about to post the same thing, Jerry Buss was a great investor, but it wasn't in the stock market.

The obvious answer is Buffett. Probably the most successful investor of all time.
I’d throw Jack Bogle into the mix. No single individual has done more to allow the average person to accumulate wealth in the market than he has.

Jim Simons, Renaissance Technologies.
Jim has compounded money at 66% from 1988 to 2020. Warren Buffet compounded at 22% over the same time period.

Jim Simons is hands down the greatest trader of all time, there is no comparison.

Simon’s was a mathematician and a Cold War code breaker. He made Stony Brook what it was today. He took massive amounts of information and fed it into a computer and created what we know today as algorithms. His story is pretty incredible about creating Ren Tech.

Trader or investor? Isn’t Buffet a buy and hold guy? As was munger?

It was natural gas, but John Arnold is an absolute legend. Never on the wrong side.

$81.4B of Warren Buffet’s $84.5B net worth came after his 65th birthday. Buffet’s longevity (and early start as a good trader) and compounding interest is how he became so rich.

Buffet had a quote saying his favorite time to sell a stock was never.
