Best - ESLR (EVERGREEN SOLAR INC) = +18.43%
Worst - SIRI (Sirius Radio) = -28.94%

Current Portfolio = +3.2%

I'm looking for another winner and have just currently invested in BKHM on what I believe to be a temporary downswing on it's way to 10.

I really though Stern and Mel (the CEO) would make this stock take off. Where the stock is now I would definitely buy. I just wish I would have waited to buy. I think they will still make money, but it could be over a year before it's back to what I paid for it.

lol...ya, all the ones I mentioned were from Cramer's show. Believe it or not I do have some that weren't from the show. And that whole taking a bath on SIRI deal was a lot my fault b/c I should have taken my lumps and sold at a 10% loss, instead I was too stubborn and now I'm taking a bath in it.

Bears make mony, bulls make money, hogs get slaughtered.

I only have 4 stocks in my portfolio at the moment, the other two are Marvel (MVL) which has been +22% so far and Countrywide financials (CFC) at +17%.

I try stay away from hype stocks, stocks that are very well known, and companies that arent profitable. Not saying that's the perfect formula, but it's worked so far for me.

Gives Sirius some time. XM is bleeding money like there's no tomorrow.

By amount of money made:
Best AAPL (just sold about a month ago for up 103%) looks like it's still going to rise
Worst - INTC ~-10%, Not worried about it much though.

I have a small position on SIRI, down 20%.

Best - AMD = +161%
Worst- BRST = -5.2%

Burst is a recent purchase this year. AMD I've had since Jan 2005. I'm not worried about Burst. It's a pink sheet penny stock and extremely illiquid and thinly traded so it has big swings. It's my speculative pick so the amount is pretty small. Courts will make or break this stock. I'm 99% confident they will win against Apple. Then watch out Real and Google.

Best - AET (Aetna; up around %110, 2 for 1 split recently)
Worst - DRL (Doral financial, down 1%)
Rode the Google wave since it went public, that was pretty nice.
This past year my portfolio went up by 90%. :thumbsup:

I :heart: Chinese and Indian stocks.

Not too many stocks in my portfolio (only two actually, most are in mutual funds).

Stocks:
Worst: Citigroup- up 8% plus a dividend payment
Best: SBC/At&T- up 12% plus a dividend payment

Recently sold some energy mutual funds for some massive gains (50-70%)

Since I am still early in my investing and while I build up worth (planning on building a new house, thus avoiding risk) I only have one mutual fund and the thrift savings plan (federal govt 401k, C models S&P500, S is small caps and I is international)

What time frame are you looking at?

Looking at 1 YR:
Best: I-Fund 22.91%
Worse: C-Fund 10.40%
Non-retire: VTSMX 12.71% (1.55% dist)

Looking at YTD:
Best: S-Fund 4.42%
Worse: C-Fund 1.81%
Non-retire: VTSMX 4.00%
ING Direct: 4.75% on my tax refunds :p

best:
ELAN (ELN) - up 105%. Was up around 130% at one time but I'm holding on until their Tsyrabi drug comes back on the market, then watch this sucker fly off into space. Won't reach their highs of a year ago (~40), but still, I bought this one at around 6. :)

I remember a thread about someone here who lost a grip of $ on this stock. I'm sorry.

2nd best:

Brazil ETF (EWZ) - up around 66%. This one is volitile, but keeps going up.

Worst:

New Dragon Asia (NWD) - down 12%, but I only bought it as a gamble (it's a noodle making company). If I had bought it AFTER it made it's big drop, i'd be up 100% on this one.

I like the look of ELN right now. At 14 plus change it looks pretty nice
