I bought stocks at a point when stocks were down and theyve gone up pretty good. Im sure thats how those guys gained is through their stock holdings.

But did not have the courage to jump in with all my cash in March when market was tanking.
But I did put in 40% and my portfolio looks happy now. I don't think we will go down to March level this year.
