    I sold my entire portfolio yesterday while I was still at 2% above my lifetime gains. It may come back again one day, but I’ve already eaten my hat once for this cock-wrinkle, I’m not going to go under again. I’ll reinvest in something more durable.

      I sold my entire portfolio yesterday while I was still at 2% above my lifetime gains.

      What does this mean? I only started less than a decay ago, and the stock market could be cut in half and I’d still be better off than when I started.

      A quality guillotine just needs regular oiling, sharpening and the occasional rope replacement and will last a lifetime. Very durable indeed.
