HS:
How do you know I didn't? Maybe I did.
Maybe it was McDonalds. 100 shares in 1965 for $2200 were worth 18,000 shares and $500,000 in 1987. Or maybe it was Genentech in the 1980's? Or was it Valero in 1990's? Or maybe it is Celgene in the 2000's and still? Maybe it was commodities: Like gold? In 2002, it was $250 an ounce, and today it's over $800. Maybe it was gold mining stocks too?
Or maybe, just maybe it was all of the above AND Berkshire Hathaway too! You don't know for sure, do you? It only takes one of the above and the right market timing.
Let me reiterate for you HS: At my age, you don't measure success in money. You measure by the number of people that you want to love you; if they actually do. Not to worry. You're not on the list either.
