Post-COVID PA

Soo...did anyone else invest a ton of $ this year when the market sold off like me? Please provide stats:

Me: 31 y/o

Pre-COVID PA: $300K

Post Covid: $550K

PLEASE no mention of 401Ks/IRAs - don't care about money you can't touch until you're 60.

Me: 21

Pre-COVID Account: ~$3k

Post-COVID Account: $9.2k

Just graduated school and this account is strictly trading / options. Account growth was only trading with no account deposits. I know it isn't much but great start for me % wise.
