One-year performance nice, five-year performance zero...

Pretty redundant comment, but at least I've checked https://finviz.com/ where there are 498 companies with a stock valuation above 50% YTD WITHOUT a dividend and 26 companies with a dividend higher than Spy (+2%), btw Spy has outperformed PBR by about 55% for 10 years ;)

I sold my Nvidia growth nonsense with 160% profit, not complaining 😀

Well, whoa, sir. I'm fine with that, but a "boring" $AAPL is also +48% and pays a dividend. Not that big but it's there So you could continue with $MSFT for example. I don't think it's accurate to apply it to everything like that. Even speculators like those on $GME also made 48% this year and could have sold at a higher profit. So far this year the hype is all over the place after last year's plunge, almost everything is rising.
