I was somewhat inactive during the period 2014-2015 but it is my impression that there were more doom and gloom in comparison to this period. [..]
I concur. Expect for a few desperate moments after the drop to $3,xxx, it has been a cozy winter ride so far.
Cant say the same for Alts

That would be pretty scary, if it were to happen. Maybe less than 33.3% odds of happening, and maybe you are rooting for V8 to win the bet (with Hairy) before the end of February, which would be even lower odds, perhaps less than 22.2%?
I am just ballpark guessing on the odds, by the way.
