Here are my cumulative returns (including SPACS!) across all my investing activities since becoming a “professional investor”.

Why it spread

This post spread because it hit a hot topic that week and came from a big source, with 1,895,003 views, 3,112 likes, 165 reposts, 61 quotes, and 2,312 saves, and its likes were 2.9x the account's typical likes of 1,082.

What worked

  • The post came from a big source with top quarter source reach, which gave it a large built in audience.
  • The topic was hot that week, which helped the post travel beyond the account's normal audience.
  • The post framed the chart as personal cumulative returns across all investing activities, including SPACS, which made it feel candid and story driven rather than like a standard performance table.

What to borrow

We could use the same framing by presenting our own chart as a personal or team journey across several funds or periods, with a short plain spoken note on what we learned, while keeping the numbers clearly our own.

Careful

Do not copy the vague table format or assume the spread came from the chart design, since design polish, self labelling, unusual form, branding, and a source line were all absent, and the quote rate was below average.
