For the very first post, I will be adding the information from my first post on the Blog that I attempted to create before, but never fully completed.
In that post, I listed the following stocks on June 15th, 2006
Sym (type) - old price - new price - % diff
PD (copper) - 80.64 - 121.93 - 51%
BHP (steel) - 40.42 - 41.71 - 3%
X (steel) - 64.00 - 87.10 - 36%
RIO (steel, brazilian) - 22.27 - 34.64 - 55%
VLO (oil) - 60.21 - 55.30 - -8%
PBR (oil, brazilian) 78.47 - 98.60 - 25%
TRE (gold) - 7.10 - 5.26 - -25%
Wow, if I evenly split my money across the 7, I would have made 19%. 2% better then the S&P for 2007 in 6 months time (and TRE was a fools play for me, as I like the stock for no good reason and there are plenty of better Gold stocks out there).
This year I will put my money where it counts and make my goal of 40% (and help any others who may be following me)
