[quote=AN][quote=temeculaguy]As far as other investments, I missed at least 50k when I checked a few years ago on those stocks I mised out on, I don’t really want to know today’s number because I’m sure it’s worse.[/quote]Why would anyone every put stock (no pun intended) on anonymous stranger stock pick?

I’d have to agree with you AN that I wouldn’t put much “stock” in financial advice from anonymous people on the Internet. It’s been my experience that people like to play up their winners and downplay their losers.
Many people like to talk about their big successes but not too many like to talk about their failures. We’ve addressed this in other posts on this subject. Most people I have met only talk about their winners not their loser investments.
As far as bit coin goes, I never got into it although I have a few clients that have done well with it. I see situations like Mt. Gox and just shake my head. True cash isn’t paying much of anything but it would have sucked to have been one of the many that got wiped out at Mt. Gox.
