2016-2018 is best, and alas, the worst, of time. Other than the "grand journey" to Mt Sierra, I put a few mils in BHC (the old Vealean) at $33 expecting a quick recovery to about $100, it did not happen. It actually dropped to $11!!!! Now is back to about $24, still not happy but it has some hopes.
Bought the ASHR in 2016 expecting the Chinese stock will double in a couple of years because the real estate investment in China has over-inflated the price. Well, I did not expect the love for real estate is so strong and Trump will engage the trade war with China. How pointless and sad.
Bright Spots
- google price has doubled over the same period of time.
- sold the Sonoma/Seaside property at $330 and doubled my money back
- bought Gonzalas property at 20% below market and receiving 7% return.
Now the kids are going to college, I should have more time to spend on investment. Really not for the money, it is, just like Buffet said, for keeping scores. My lifestyle is simple enough that anything over $200K per year is not going to make any difference. But if I can $2M per year, that will be different ;)
