    My Grandmother inherited stock from her father and grandfather. Just before the credit crunch, she signed it all over to my mum and her sister, who immediately cashed it in.

    Good timing. Althoigh if they'd kept it, it would be worth more now. However, they gave a portion to me and my siblings. I bought shares, and currently looking at 95% returns since 2015.

    Right place, right time.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      I have a couple like that through luck rather than nous. Although I think I might be up something silly like 60% since Covid, not checked since dips the last week or two. I was very close to selling the lot when it became Covid was going to be a big deal, lucky I didn't. As my broker reminded me last week "shares aren't the real world".
