Depends when they bought.

What is it about the words "been in for much of the Bull market" that you don't understand.

My guess is you've also never been called a genius. Likely quite the opposite.

He wakes up every day hoping this is the day he can tell everyone, "See, I told you so".

He's been doing that for years, and will continue no matter how long it takes.

Another record for the Nasdaq!

1.1% average annual return since March 2000. Great return for you passive investors!

What does that post have to do with what his/her investments have done since 2000?

You're just being a smartass!

Why don't you tell us what the savvy non-investor (yourself) has gotten in returns over the past 17 years. I'm sure it will be staggering.

Better than 1.1%. How about you?

Sold half of my NFLX holdings today for approximately what the entire lot cost me. Long term tax implications yet to be calculated, but it's almost like the half I'm left holding I got for free. Not bad a current value of $155/share.

Also double down on F.

Have at me, Igy.

By the way, this is just a dumb post. Anyone can pick a date to make things look good, or look bad. This is just a weak attempt to try to discredit a market record.

No, just factually commenting on an overvalued dangerous market. Good trade on the NFLX.

So your amazing insight is that is you are invested during a bull market you will make money?

How do you do it? Who else could have thought that up?

Right.

I don't care about my finances at all. I live to say I told you so to a bunch of racist lowbrows on a message board.

You can see the future? Or are you choosing a date in the past that makes things look good (not March of 2000) -- which I thought you were critical of.
