In quote 1 above, you say that you've owned stocks before, and want to own them again. In quote 2, you say you have always earned good returns without being invested in stocks.

You can make pretty good returns without undergoing the torture of the stock market - I always have.
In any event, you are obviously skilled, as you managed to not only buy stocks near the bottom in 2009, but on the actual lowest day which occurred. Well done!
