[quote=Coronita]Yeah, well I was one of the people that actually took some money off to the side to be a little more cautious. But you know when I did that, it wasn’t significant enough to save my accounts when the markets declined…since when the markets declined the rest of my portfolio took a hit…at the same time, when the markets climbed fast, my portfolio didn’t climb as fast…Slow going up fastcoming down still…Story of my life….I should have just left things alone…
50-60% is impressive. I think my 1 year underperformed @ 27%
50-60% would have been nice. no early retirement for me…[/quote]
Im sure you did great. Part of that roughly 60% was leveraged real estate though it wasn’t highly leveraged. Someone highly leveraged on real estate would’ve done amazing also. I’m sure we know at least one or two of those also
