Not for the past but for the future. Someday there will be that someone. 
In 1968 I couldn't get my mom or my grandma to lend me the money to buy that 1956 T-Bird for $2500.00.
I sold it at $22 in 2000 anticipating the dot com bust, but never bought back in.I couldn't find a song about not buying Apple stock in 1980.

Ouch...... You gotta win this one
I bought PSINET stock in 1996 and sold it weeks before the crash in 1999. When the CFO told me at the annual meeting that they didn't have to make a profit, they were an Internet company. Then I brokered a significant chunk of their carrier class telco assets out of the bankruptcy auctions. Made retirement at 58 and wasting a chitload of time on h.c. possible.
I am probably one of very few people that thought the dot com crash was a good thing. Kept the Exxon stock. I have always said that nobody has ever gone to war over things with chips in them.
My first wife. Actually glad to be rid of her (she was pretty mean) but I wish I saw this coming. My true regret- I never got to help.
I have lots of questions about paths not taken. Probably the one that haunts me the most is a spontaneous comraderie I felt with an aging winemaker in Provence. He was clearly looking for a mature student to teach and I was so close to saying yes.
