A net of +17% ROI for anything I sold. I did not get greedy, and am still invested. How much did you lose?
BTW didn't lose a dime.
17% absolute dollars even spread over 2 years is not so hot...8.5% per year....
We have a common fund strategy at work (off the top of my head) that has doubled in absolute $ between 1999 and now.
Put in 10,000 in 1999 and today you get 20,000 out....
100% ROI or thereabouts in a 5 year time frame... not to mention the last 5 year time frame
