This is the first year I've made money since 2000, so I'm equally useless. Oh, I might have goosed my net worth up an extra 2% this year--better than nothing. Not much of a stock picker either. I owned a penny stock back in 1999 though, it was fun to gamble and win that one time-- although it turned out to be a lot junkier that I suspected it was. I did try a tiny little biotech a year or two ago --ICOR.ob or dot.pink, I think I broke even, ha, I can't remember now. In the spring of 2000 I rotated hot biotechs into a handful of blue chip stocks: Had I held those these past six years, I'd have done fabulous, my net worth would have at least doubled. But almost immediately, I got bored with those blue chips, and bought treasuries instead. Oh, not a terrible thing, but probably the single biggest failure of my life. 20/20 hindsight, would have been very hard to hold those stocks so long anyway.
