Yet if u reduced beer consumption, whick may not be a realistic option, and purchased $100 in Fidelity International stock, you would have over $140 today. Forty percent a year...

some things you cant reduce.......... they are priceless, however with a 40% return thats more beer and more aluminium recycle........ now thats a win win

CORRECTION: 41.08% as of the market close today, and 6.85% in the LAST 30 DAYS! Not figuring compounding of a stock that makes additional purchases which may have a net of 50% in the past 12 months.
Sonething to think about..and a Russell 2000 index fund is about 33%.
One word, planning.

About 16 months ago I purchased $20,000 worth of 1 oz. silver coins. Today they are worth $40,000 since silver has doubled in price in that time. Many experts are predicting a major shortage of silver in the world and prices exploding to triple digits. If $100 an oz. ever happens my $20,000 will be worth $275,000!! :D :D

Whooo da known! Investing is all risk, some less than others, some more. But a steady plan can net big $$ even if you don'th have much disposable income. yeah, for a change metals are strong, congrats on the silver, which should be stronger than gold in the next 5 years.

wow, who would have thought that would be just the same as last year??
Now that you have me going lets factor in the increased expense when you start having liver problems and all the other health problems you are heading towards.

Instead of buying food at Chipotle back in January, you should have bought their stock. It opened at $22 on 01/26/06.
It closed at $64.85 today!

How about tripling your money in less than 4 months?

That only works if you sold it today.
