i was mostly buying jkd and ivv. . .i stopped buying a few weeks ago. . .went up waaaaaayyyy to fast for my taste. . .i'm still sitting on double digit gains. . .
I lost near $20k during the financial meltdown a year ago. This was within 2-3weeks. Total loss was much higher.
I used to think that I was a good investor until that time.
