    In other news, CNBC watching retail investors think investing with Jim Cramer in 2009 wasn't such a bad idea either.

    In retrospect I think going to that play with Mary Todd was an excellent idea.

    Any of these beat a 5:1 levered long fund that invested in Target's stock

    Mark Twain said to buy stocks that go up and don't buy stocks that don't go up. As to making money in stocks, like Ashley said to Elliot, "How hard can that be?"

    If you invested $100 ~ four years ago in Facebook, you'd have $1,000 today (well less if you use the $15b valuation for the MSFT stake, but still a sizable gain).

    My point was that FYI guy should have chosen similar time frames to the original article since the point of the CNBC article (to the extent that CNBC ever has a point) was the current value of investments made in September 2008.
