Sounds apocryphal to me: bought at the beginning; cashed out at the all-time-high. Any time an "investment" performs well there are reports of the few who, supposedly, made millions, but no mention of the many who bought high and sold low. Or the 99% of high-risk investments that disappear, worthless.

Stick with what you know, and sleep easy at night.
