yes looking glass would have been great.
My big balls up last year - new investor jitters - when China gave issues in August i decided to pull all investments. then 10 days later to reinvest in the same shares.
keeping track of both portfolios before and after sell - currently sitting at 60k loss :( :(
where is that time machine
