Last year I racked up a 65.7% gain amounting to +$209,009 added.
I don't think you're being improved with your vendettas as they don't stand to improve your circumstances. YTD I'm ahead just 3.4% but being as I'm mostly oil, I believe my moments of triumph are in the cards. However, I'm not at all angry. I'm always hopeful.
I'd be happy to offer some tickers if you're open to MLPs. No insult intended, just trying to be of help to a fellow investor.
