I sunk just under $100k in APs during the crash, which at the time was around half of my life savings.

Two years later, when they started approaching pre-crash value, I unload most of them. I used the profits from the watches to buy a few foreclosures and turn them in to rentals in the Orlando area, which was hit extremely hard by the crash.

It was a huge risk, but proved to be a life changing investment for me.
God damn you have some balls. I'd never have the courage to invest half my savings into a high risk investment like that, but I'm glad it worked out for you. More power to you!
