I’ve posted a few times over the years updating how much money I lost by listening back then.
March 2009 to today here is what happened
HOG 10 to 58
GE 8 to 33
COST 45 to 175
F 2 to 12
MO 15 to 73
HOV .85 to 2.37
Funny thing is most of them made most of their gains within a year or two.
I didn’t even bother to see if any of them split or what the dividend totals were as that will just compound the pain.
I did take lots of real estate advice from this site and I benefited immensely, doubled my money and for that I am eternally grateful. But I plan on living in my house for as long as I can climb stairs so it really isn’t an investment, just long term rent control. It has given me financial freedom but I still regret taking stock advice from this same crowd.
