The money I lost in the markets between 2000-2002 could have easily financed a couple of nice p-cars! In 20/20 hindsight, I guess that would make a Porsche a better investment; certainly more fun while it's rapidly depreciating than watching your stocks tank.

Just my 2cents...meanwhile the hunt continues for my perfect p-car.
