6.24%, investing very aggressive

i'm glad it's still positive considering last years return for me was nearly 40%

Damn guys, I'm at a measly 3.24%. My rate last year was a nice 17.60%. Maybe I need to shake things up a bit.

I just changed some numbers around about an hour ago. I like to do it about 1-2x year.

Maybe this thread was a good reminder for you...

I changed the original post, its FSENX, Fidelity Select Energy Mutual Fund. For idiot proof investing, go to Fidelity, Select Mutual funds( Select Funds are sector based), pick a hot sector (energy, housing, defense), profit 20-30%/year.

The only thing I had done up until this point was re-balance it so my initial percentage distribution was set. I see my conservative funds are doing crappy, so maybe I should get more aggressive the rest of this year.

So I just moved about $5k from a conservative fund into a more aggressive fund (and restructured future contributions). Let's hope this turns out good for me. :) :thumbsup:

14.5%.

IRA. I manage my own via stocks. Nowhere near 131% I did last year but I don't have stock like Apple this year. Phillip Morris and Merck aren't exactly highfliers. But they provide good steady dividend. AMD has done well for me though.
