Welcome WRXodus. Glad you found us. Nice to have another person join in.
I'm assuming you've only been investing for 5 years by the tone of your post. That's good, we don't have as many bad habits to break.
Not me. I got seduced by the growth stock glitz. I was gonna be rich.
Something happened along the way but that was 30 years later. I was too stupid to take the hint from the dotcom bust. Lots of smart people here. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
