Well, before Nakowa started playing my b/e point was roughly -2k in house profit.

I never divested and now I'm significantly down (more than 10%), and my break even point is significantly higher (+1,600 in house profit).

I can only assume the reason for this is the "invest/divest" day traders, including Dooglus (who divested when the house was up 3k), on average got lucky and screwed the ones like me who didn't divest. I'd say the "invest/divest daytraders" were gambling against those that did not divest, and the former won big time with a simple strategy: divest when you are up, invest again when the house is down.

What do you think, doog? So much for the "long term, stable investment" some day dreaming investors are looking for...
