Example A
I bought 10000 shares of AMZN on 12/31/97 for $0.25 each.
I sold 10000 shares of AMZN today for $180.25 each.
I turned $2,500 into $1,802,500 in 26 years.

Example B
I bought 10,000 BTC on 12/31/10 for $0.30 each.
I sold 10,000 BTC today for $66,084.00 each.
I turned $3,000 into $660,840,000 in 13 years

Example C
I met my wife in 1994.
She told me to buy AMZN in 1997.
She told me to buy BTC in 2010.
She divorced me today and took $331,321,250.

This example isn't a great example, but I am attempting to show that it is possible to compare different things.

The best investment I made was investing my time into my wife and convincing her to marry me. Even though she left, she gave me great advice and we both made tens of millions of dollars.

Perhaps I would have come to the same conclusion without her help and been able to keep it all.. or perhaps I never buy any of it. Perhaps I am poor and living in my mom's basement if I hadn't met her.

None of this is true unfortunately..

Bottom line:
You can compare Clark to other female players.
You can compare Secretariat to other horses.

And therefore..
You can compare Clark to Secretariat or anyone..
by measuring how much better they are compared to their peers..

But that would take a lot of work and analysis..
but it is possible to make the comparison
