I did what you did for about 40 years albeit as a career Marine I didn’t have much to invest. But after my military career and when I started making some real money I realized my investing skills were not making me any money. At best I was just breaking even. So I did some research, made some phone calls, interviewed a few financial investors and settled on one outfit. I pay them 1% of my assists per month. In 3 years, I’ve tripled my portfolio. I kept trying to play them market or pick the hot stock usually when it was already at a high. These guys have a pretty good idea what’s going to happen 6 months ahead of time. In February when Covid first came into play they moved my money into bonds and some other things I still don’t understand. But instead of losing the 15% that the rest of the market lost, I only lost 4%. And even before the market started to rise, they moved me back in to equities, index funds, mutual funds and I rode that up to where I’m way ahead of the market for this year. Previous years they positioned me well to ride the market up. I, or you or any individual without not only a Harvard or similar degree and years of experience in the business would have no clue. You may think you’ve done well, and maybe you have, but don’t try to push that on to anyone else. That’s narcissistic and dangerous.
