Outperforming s&p on a week to week or month to month basis is irrelevant if you hold highly volatile stocks

Even year to year it means nothing. You have to beat the market for something like 15 consecutive years in order for it to be statistically significant. Anything less can be attributed to luck.

I would argue the exact opposite. Volatility is background noise, if your macro investing an asset class who’s underlying industry/sector is seeing a significant historical change, than the performance is everything, unless your investing on a short time horizon and already risking needing the money before the investment has matured.
