I've heard that and 20,000-99,000. Didn't know exactly because I'm not good at math.
Thanks.

But instead of squealing like a little 9yo girl (and high-pitch Hannity) back in early March and wondering if/when I should pull what was left out of the market, I transferred 63k into my Vanguard account and bought as many shares of their S&P 500 index fund as I could.
Needless to say, things have worked out swimmingly well to this point.

Just gunna keep dollar-cost-averaging money into the account ... rebalance occasionally ... and adjust the stock to bond ratio as I get older.

Damn he must be pounding tens of thousands into the account. Baller status.

So if he put say another 10k in the account he'd be a little over 20k profit.
He made tens of thousands, dawg.
It's still in there for another 25 years though.
Congrats, Smooth. You're middle class ballin.
