Was that dollars or shares? Either way it's a remarkable achievement. Of those three, only JBL was really bothered by the meltdown Tuesday. The other two just hiccuped slightly. Quite a contrast to my two largest holdings. THQI hardly budged Tuesday but only because it couldn't fall much further. And then there's MRVC which has fallen from 195 to 73 since Mar. 9 with an additional 20% swoon mid day Tues.(Of course it was at 6 a year ago, so I really can't complain.) The ECM stocks have been a comforting float down the river (of prosperity) compared to many of my holdings. I think SLR actually stayed in the green all day Tuesday.

Hope all of you were smarter than me and came through unscathed. I got reckless last week and tried catching some falling knives which stabbed me big time Tuesday. Sent about $150K to money heaven. Ironically, I sort of predicted my pain when I posted on the MRVC thread that I had been buying perhaps prematurely and would feel real stupid if the market melted down before May. As Robert Burns said, " The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglay."
Cheers,
Bob
