Amazing coming back. Nasdaq up 500% and Dow up 300% from the low 10 years ago. But still not comparable to the huge rise from 1989 to the peak at 2001 when Nasdaq rose 1000% and Dow up 370% in ten years.

Our "friend", bankster- account manager and trades executor called over and over... to make us sell... we did... He said he would risk his job if we don't...

Please, forgive me for answering only now - you will appreciate the burden on us and my time between.
going to your post, even if short, makes a lot of things come up.

It is laughing through tears, seven years ago, when we started to understand how it all supposed to be. It is interesting memories now...
Strange.
I am thankful to Life for this experience.
Still "compassion but no mercy," - yogis say, so it will be. banks, as well every broker, must respect and serve us, not thinking that we are their free food.
So it will be.
