"I retired in comfort at age 40, but I could have been filthy rich if I had been less pessimistic in 1998."

Jacob,
I could have retired in 2000 if I had been less optimistic in 2000. Caution is a good thing. At least you were able to retire. mike

Jacob, RE "My views are historically slanted to the pessimistic view ... I could have been filthy rich if I had been less pessimistic in 1998."

I felt sorry when you bailed out too soon. It would have been $3.8B instead of just over $1B for those 200 AMAT LEAPs. ... but, then you did a very spectacular job.

Actually I admire you for having the uncanny ability to buy near the Lows. If only you learn to be more Optimistic ...
