Gurmeet Chadha cites Larry Ellison’s $100 billion Oracle wealth surge to stress equity’s power, urging investors to focus on long-term gains shaped by a handful of good days.

Just 10-15 good days can shape one's investment journey, says Gurmeet Chadha, Managing Partner & CIO at Complete Circle Consultants, taking a leaf out of Oracle Corporation's co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison' rise in fortune. Emphasising on the power of equity, Chadha in a tweet suggested investors to think long term.

"Larry Ellison’s net worth hits $393 Billion.. almost a $100 billion gain in a DAY...surpasses Elon Musk as the richest person. This is the power of equity …in 1-2 days u can gain 2-3 years of return. All u need is 10-15 good days in ur long investment journey. Think long term!," Chadha's tweet said.

Ellison's fortunes saw an exemplary shift because of a nearly 41% surge on Oracle Corporation's share price.

But the Bloomberg Billionaires Index data at the end of Wednesday showed Musk regaining the lost spot by a whisker. While Musk's fortune stood at $384 billion, Ellison's trailed at $383 billion.

An AP news also said that Musk was back on top by the end of the day with Oracle giving up a bit of its earlier gains.

Oracle Corporation shares had surged 41% in early Wednesday trade on Nasdaq, hitting a day’s high of $339.68 after the company announced an AI Center of Excellence for healthcare to help organizations leverage rapid advances in artificial intelligence. The sharp rally also turned Oracle into a multibagger in 2025, with year-to-date returns crossing 100%.
