Well, I'm glad you're doing well, but lots of people simply buy into index funds and go with the flow. I'm trying to learn how to not do that. Shit happens. Some lessons are learned the hard way. Lots of index funds which follow the major markets are flat or negative on the year. There are "real" companies whose stocks are down. You can't predict investor sentiment ahead of time? But you CAN sometimes play it. You can buy solid companies for the long term, but they'll still take a hit from time to time. Sometimes, "real" companies die, too.
Can't win them all.
