Yes, there have been failures. We are still money ahead by a good margin since 2003.
A normal practice is to sell enough of a stock to recoup our original investment once it has doubled in share price. If it still appears to have good potential for growth, we will let the profits ride. Thus, playing with the "houses" money.
We are retired and have set aside the 96% to cover us comfortably. We do not live extravagantly, nor do we take exotic vacations, or splurge on cars , etc..
Whatever makes you sleep well at night is the path you should choose.
All the best to both of us in investing and in our lives.
Thank you for your concern.
Have a Happy Easter.
