I am up 17% from a year ago.   No mutual funds.  Not too bad, I think.

You?

13% up which includes 10% of my total porfolia which is in bonds and it has gone nowhere.

17%.  Nice job.

Last April it had $69,000, now it's at $107,000

My big gainers were
Komatsu: KMTUY, MEMC: WFR, E-Trade: ET and AMD


and oil and energy stocks I sold after Karina.

My biggest holding is CWPC and its up pretty good, bought it about a little less than one year ago. (just before the hurricanes) I think my average price paid per share was something like 70 - 90 cents per share. today is around $4.70  . I really like oil and gold stocks.

My 403B invested in the "C" fund (stock index tracking the S&P 500) has been fine. My own private portfolio which I only started 6 months ago is up 17%.
I am happy with it  so far.

That was on 60minutes weeks back, Where you get the intel on it a yr ago and decide to put most of your funds in one stock for a make of break ?

I used to own  shares in a company called Suncor, great company, but I sold out after the run up. Canwest is the same basic thing as Suncor except right now I don't think they have any production. I got the info off the AOL message board that was Suncors message board.

Edit to add: While they (cwpc) are my biggest stock holding, I don't have much of my net worth invested in stocks. Biggest investment is a commercial building on 301 in Sarasota, Fl.

Edit 2: For a while here I had a thread listed as : How many things can you find wrong with CWPC? No one responded to it and it droped off. guess they could'nt find anything wrong with it.
