I know some of these "recently turned" bashers are still around. They sold their investment too early, with not much money left, whether through panic or depression or fear or whatever. Now they are bitter they can't get back in. Those few dollars left over from the sale are gone from a costco run and nothing left to buy with. We talked, ad nauseam during the bad times, better to hold and have faith. Those of us that did, now have some beautiful looking accounts. Soon to be new born baby gorgeous.
