If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But you can significantly boost your returns by picking above-average stocks. For example, the LUDWIG BECK am Rathauseck - Textilhaus Feldmeier AG (ETR:ECK) share price is up 14% in the last 1 year, clearly besting the market decline of around 18% (not including dividends).
