I always say to people who win out on high risk/reward investments "Congratulations", but not something I do or suggest for others.  We are aware of the huge success stories, like investing in Amazon twenty years ago, but we tend to forget the numerous failures one could have tried back then as well.

Everyone who gets lucky with timing is a "genius" (a la Mark Cuban), but the reality is that holding long and not overthinking investments usually creates the most wealth.

Seems like you should consider reading more about Mark Cuban if you think his wealth was accumulated through the market. He's a very impressive person, far more than I knew.
