if you made 100,000 that year and that 100,000 aint pure profit, you didnt make 100,000.
i dunno how many people understand that.
whats important is the money you dont cycle back into the investment...otherwise you might as well say you broke even....or made a few thousand....
atleast thats how i look at it....i dont look at my yearly earnings i look at whats still in my account in january 01...
i would be cool with 10,000 tied in investments by december, halfway there so technically it could be more.
2008 is definately the year where im doing more selling than buying..
