I lost the taste for risk 2 years [...] Going from 100 to 0 is no good either.

Two years ago was an excellent time to exit the stockmarket. (Of course, we can say that today only because of 20/20 hindsight.)

Consider yourself lucky that you "cashed out" two years ago!

I would LOVE to seem like a genius.

But what I meant was I lost the taste for risky options trading and future trading.

I guess what I did do right was pay off debts the past several years instead of putting more money into 401k.

It seemed like a bad move paying off 10 to 15 percent interest debts when the market was Soaring...now..not so much..

Now I will really amp up putting into 401k now that debts are gone.

I got lucky.

There was NO skill involved
