25% in seven years is a home run?

According to Yahoo! the split-adjusted yearly high in 1996 (7 years ago) was $4.38, on Oct. 15, 1996. It closed today at $4.27. While not good, that's nowhere near a 25% loss by my mathematics, even with a modicum of opportunity cost (and if you think bonds are where everybody should put their money, come clean and say so). Plus, you missed the entire boom in the late 90's, at the height of which some of us sold at least part of our positions. finance.yahoo.com finance.yahoo.com Your stopped-clock attitude will ensure that you miss the next boom, too. I don't claim to be happy with my own trading performance, but I've taken out a lot more than I've put in, and just sitting on this board naysaying, as you do, would not have had such a result. JMHO.
