For the last 5 years, Igy wept because of those who rejoiced. Now he is rejoicing at those who weep. I guess whatever floats your boat.
No, for five years you constantly harassed me. Now you are attempting to resurrect years of wasted effort. “You reap what you sow” would be more appropriate scripture for you. Posters like you did the real harm, encouraging people to take undue risk. Karma came back to you like a thunderstorm.
Nope, not me. I’ve never offered any advice. Mostly a lurker.
In fact, I did an incredibly stupid thing right before the 2016 election and put all of my 401k into MIPII. As I recall, DOW was just under 18k.
Had coworkers talking about hitting 7 figures while I was still way below that and contributing the max every year. I did have to fight feelings of jealousy. I did move little bits in over time (and all new contributions) so I was about 38% stocks when we started to fall in February.
I didn’t partake much in the big gains the last few years. I have taken a good hit on that 38% portion, but could be worse, and likely will be.
Anyhow, I agree that you were harassed way more than warranted for a long time. And I guess you deserve some level of “I told you so”. Especially if that somehow makes you feel better.
