Wrong choice? Depends on your perspective.
Looking to turn $100 into $1000 to do your Christmas shopping with? Expecting to be able to buy a place in the Hamptons by Easter? Hoping to turn the $50k set aside for a June '08 wedding into $500k? Then you made the wrong choice (unless, of course, someone pulls bunny or two out of her butt pdq.)
Got the vision and guts to go 2-3 years? Then you're in the right place, and won't find any better...for a while, at least. Read 20k+ posts, not a couple hundred, to get a better feel. I dare say you'll find nothing better. Excellent entry point.
