I'm a long way from retiring but have made about 30% more in the market (on paper) this year than I've been paid at my regular job. If I can see the type of returns over the next 3 years that I've seen over the past 3, I wouldn't retire, but I would become a sculptor or painter or professional fisherman. Something fun instead of this regular business 9-5, deadline driven, dealing with suits, day to day crap. GO DELL! JH

godellgo: You've got to be kidding, I hope. <<<< How many of you are making more money by techstock investing than you are at your "regular" jobs,,, and for those of you retired from the workaday world, are you doing better now by investing yourself than you did via the 9-5 route?>>> I worked 20 years as Aero Engg,ending as a GS-12 at BA On 3 or 4 times recently my days paper profits (mostly Dell) exceeded my gross yearly salary at BA, and one day it was double. And I know some people on SI who have five times as much Dell. ( and some lurkers have got to have much more(Hehehe) Three years ago I was fixing cars and boats to make a few spare bucks to supplement my $1100 monthly retirement income.

I am up almost 50% since December and YES I do make a lot more money from investing than I do on my regular job. Unfortunately, for now, the bulk of my investment is from my IRA account. If Dell were to have a repeat performance of the last 12 months it would be very tempting to consider retiring. T.R.

RE: How many of you are making more money by techstock investing than you are at your "regular" jobs,,, To all that respond to this post. Congrats to all. I just want to point out that current market returns are above trend. These typs of trends have a tendency to reverse themselves over time. I hope all of you continue to prosper, But be careful. One really bad day, and you can loose more money than you ever thought you would make. jim
