Unfortunately your story has been played out millions of times over. A lot of people can't handle the drawdown and pull their money to their own detriment.JohnnyYou » 24 Jan 2026, 10:10 am » wrote: ↑ It came in 48 hours once we got through the Persian accents in India.
No kind of confirmation.. Sell and Pray. Shareholders Online is not recommended but it is my only expereince.
The 4 shares had spllit many times since 1984.. It was tough to figure out what was going on as a first timer,
I was unable to find a stock value for Sherwin Williams in 1984. It was given a bonus to my associates Father,
Athird of the shares were actual certificates, The other two thirds had gone electronic.
All I know is I had 12K in one, I invested. It got up to 50K with Dubya and got smacked back down to 12K in the 2008 financial crisis. Obama got it back to 50K by 2016 and I jump[ed out of it.. The experience left me untrusting in the financial wizards.. Man cannot make money on finance alone Foolman. The Everything Bubble is gonna burst. Your money could go poof the magic dragon at any moment.
My only claim is I don't know ****! We just happened to start dumping as much money as possible into 401k's in 2011. Six percent company match helped. Was able to max out contributions the last few years before 2021 when I retired at 60 and moved to Colorado. I know you look at the stock market charts, look what happened since 2011.
That is just pure luck as I see it.
LowIQ has me on alert, preservation has become a more primary goal.
