How Did Your Investments Do in 2004?

[max_boost]

As the title states, how did your investments perform in 2004? Did it meet or exceed your expectations or did they disappoint? What did you invest in?

I bought into some moderate risk mutual funds through AIM Trimark. I maximized my RRSP contribution limit and then dumped some into an open account. Focused in four equity funds, CDN/US/International equities and a Canada Savings Bond. My return was 11% for the year.

i saw an increase of 8.83% for my RRSP contribution. im happy with that

[gorillam]

11% is really good congradulations.

As for my investments, just usualy the big ones.

Pepsi, coke, energy companies, drug companies.

All seem to be great.

But I find stocks will actually make or break you, the 1-3% I got from mutual funds didnt do me crap all.

Stupid brokers take 2-4% in the background.

this year heavy metals did awesome on the stock market, if i had a large some of extra cash i would have invested in some (gold, uranium probably) no question about it.

I enjoyed a 79.8% return on investments last year.

Fantastic news for me.

[sputnik]

I had a 36.9% return in 2004 with just mutual funds. Dollar cost averaging kicks ass.

[Xtrema]

Some winners and some loser average out to about 14%. Couldn't complain, espeically after the disasterous 2002.

[TrevorK]

RRSP = 10-12%
Non RRSP = 30-40%

[Dirty_SOHC]

I had a return of 40 percent on my stocks, and as per my Mutual funds 26 percent and 18 percent. Not a shabby year

[Godfuader]

Shorting pharmaceuticals and longing energy = best year ever
I also had google and Noranda. took a risk on automobiles and lost a little.

Now it's time to maximize that investment my cashing out before that 79.8% turns into 31%.

[HillBilly]

I am also happy like so many of you.

I had a 232% return on my one and only investment this year.

.. and no I can't tell you what it was because it has very specific criteria to even apply for the investment. and I know that none of you beyonders fit that criteria.

no, no, Its all legal.... and taxable..

its stocks in a private company

company x's requirements
-must be an employee of 5 or more years
-must be at some level of management
-must be able to 10% more stock at any given time. (cash on hand)

there is lots more... but a good investment none the less

[ninspeed]

i am up 52% this year, which makes up for my small loss last year... 05 is all ready shaping up to be good (3 stocks have doubled in the past 10 days)

on forex I made $54,000 on a $50,000 investment in like a month. too bad it was fake money. I really, really have to put some REAL money into that... it seems so perfect, the leveraging is awesome!
