Did you ever tame Lulu, what a difference a few years of volatility did for them?

You’re digging up ancient history! I did OK with LULU, about 75% of my gains came from option trading. By the end of 2015 I had grown tired of the LULU shenanigans and sold at $46.74. Now it’s $95.30, a CAGR of 35%. Goes to show that we can’t predict the future, only lament the past! LOL

What worthless sentimental hubris. It sounds like it was written by a brokerage, urging clients to keep their assets with the firm.

… Wait a minute …

Investors are best served when grim headlines are in the news

Investors are best served when the music never stops - the Perma Bull Run (PBR)!

Pray to the PBR god or goddess!

What part of the link was misleading? What in article was incorrect? No one is required to read every post.

“Panic is not an investment strategy” is very much a core belief here.
