There's something poetic about timing in finance. Martin Lewis—that guy who's been the go-to voice for everyday Brits trying to stretch their pounds—just announced he's diving into an investing show. First one in 13 years.

Thirteen years. Let that sink in for a second.

Know what else happened over those 13 years? The S&P 500 went on an absolute tear. We're talking about one of the longest bull runs in modern history, and here's this massively influential financial educator sitting on the sidelines of investment content. Not because he couldn't, but because he chose to focus elsewhere.

Now he's back in. Props to him—genuinely. It's a solid move and the timing's interesting. But man, it really makes you think about what people miss when they stay away from markets, even the experts telling others how to manage money. The chart doesn't lie about those lost years of compounding.
