He who laughs last laughs best. Back in late 1999, my then-boyfriend told me all about his recent purchases of tech stocks – and how he kept the NASDAQ as his home page so he could check his gains on a daily basis.
Two years later, he sold at a huge loss, and when I mentioned my earlier warning NOT to buy when everything was hot, he told me gloating was unattractive!
Just checked Zillow on his property – which he told me was valued at $900K last November. It’s now at $648K. I’ll keep my gloats to myself.
