Stock Market PvP

[Vanraw]

thats for damn sure. I did open my first day trading account in Feb 09, started with $2000 and my portfolio is $4500 today. And NEM is 25% of that 2k and has done nothing. I sold PIR for a 225% return, and I own C, FAS, and HIMX which have all kicked ass since I bought them.

Very nice! My brokerage is up around 40% from it's lows, and my IRA is up almost 100%. But I'd pulled around 90% of my money (over $100k) from the brokerage account during 2008 as the market fell, and I never put it back. My wife is still spooked, and won't let me move any cash from savings to trading...

I always use the quote, "If I would a, then I could a, oh I should a"...... Its so easy to look at history and wish

My wife is all spooked too. Of course we have gotten burned in the past pretty hard by the Worldcom bankruptcy, losing hundreds of thousands in in stock options, not to mention my 401k, that will never be the same.... So I understand. (Burn in hell Bernie Ebbers, Burn in hell)...
