In the end, I (and many others) was so over exposed to Wave that I refused to believe any of those contrarian opinions. It just wasn't in "my best interest", BUT oh boy it was!!
I am grateful that I was able to overcome this almost multi-decade F-up in one piece.
At one point, in 2011, I was worth over $1,000,000 on paper, but chose to ride it down all the way to $60,000 before I cashed out...thanks to my intuition on (boy) Bill Solms.
Cheers to all who tried to warn us wavoids :)
