And to what do you attribute that to as far as investment strategy? I did 8 to 9% with no stock investments and my investments were 50% insured at a 5% gain.

If you can get 10% you are doing well, that would mean your investment would double every ten years. I think their is 2 ways to get wealth, investing and saving more or getting more for your money. Earning 5% is not that hard to get, youcan find that online pretty easily. I referenced a site that showed how to be creative which I liked for the few tips it had.

51% so far in 2007
I do Ultra undervalue research and investing.
I plan on building on this gain.
A large percent of my holdings are in PBLS
This issue will increse exponentially in the coming months.
@ .0155 represents the best value in the market.
I would suggest to anyone to devote at least 8 hours of research
on this company.
This is an AMEX stock in pennies clothing.

I managed 17.8% on investments (mutual funds, few ETF’s, stocks) …but nothing is “insured”…
P.S. The first response to your question was WAY OFF…10% per year will double your money a lot quicker than ten years!! I believe even 7% will do it in 7 years. ( at least pretty close…used to be called “the rule of seven”)
Ooops! …”the strategy” was fairly simple : most holdings in a couple of big safe funds..FCNTX, FFTWX… but some money in international ETF’s.. FXI..ILF …also some in nice dividend REIT’s
and a couple of stocks that progressed nicely..ANST…GLYT
…..and also in the funds, I had small amounts in EUROX,FDIVX,NBGEX
Hope all that is somehow useful to you..

I did 22%, mostly on selling Nokia and Ebay stock. I bought low and sold high. Good luck.
