It's true, I might have done far worse--and
I think it was good to keep one account open
and dork around. Otherwise, I might always have
wondered if I had skill.

Three years with no winners is a pretty good
indicator you have no skill with the darts.

It is possible that a lot more DD would pay
better, but I would not have wanted to spend
more than a few hours a week at it--and I still
don't want to do that. Plus the kids seem to
need more time, not less, as they grow up.

I have Miss M on a catch and release program
for her dragonflies and butterflies now.
Very proud--time well spent. Chasing microcaps,
no so much.

An index fund would have done better, for
sure. But my treasuries keep up with inflation
(more or less) and that is good enough. I would
not sleep nights putting the other 95% of my
assets in stocks. But that is just me. Gamblin'
with 5% was a fine idea, just happened not to
pay off at all.
