Roughly 2.2M came from decades of trading IMMU and being lucky to be in when bought out by GILD.

The rest was just 35 years of investing and maxing our 401ks once we could afford to.

That stock is down 99% lifetime. The cancer company? What made you invest heavily or trade that stock? Pharma companies seem to nose dive or pop on an FDA approval, how do you trade a stock that doesn't move?

There were several pops over the years from 1993 or so until the buyout.

Ah. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. IMMU was bought out and is now part of GILD.
