Preach it spud!!!spud1910 said:OA's last statement is so true. In one of my retirement accounts I do some stock trading(mostly buy and hold in this account) as well as some good mutual funds. The funds year to date are up 18%, 28% and 45%, which is great. The stocks I have chosen, however, are up 141%. My taxable account is up 170% year to date. My wife's retirement account, with the guidance of a financial advisor provided by her firm has no where close to this return. Thank you to all on this thread for the great advice and community we have!oldarmy1 said:hudmoon said:
Thanks again to OA1 and the rest of the gang. Up over 200% profit since starting my brokerage in June. And up 200% since converting my 401ks to my Roth in May. Donated once to the Honduras relief fund. Plan on donating again as it's the only thing OA1 asks from us for his hard work.
Absolutely awesome! I remember the time when I could increase my account by 200%. That will slow naturally as the account continues to build. But you'll still smoke the financial advisers using the disciplines.
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle. but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
