Stocks - Are you Invested?

Just curious how many of you guys own stocks. If so, which stocks do you own? How much money have you earned or lost?

I currently own TCW.to and SL.l i used to own pacific ethanol but i got out, I lost a couple hundred bucks. On the other 2 I havent really made any strides yet, still waiting for the price of natural gas to pick up for tcw.to

I also invest in mutual funds since my dad is an investment advisor and deals mostly with them

Right now im trying to invest some money into private business but havnt found the right project to support yet

Well, I have a portfolio of Russian leading stocks, that looks like this ( see attached ) from the moment I bought it ( 01.05.2006. ) till today, so still keeping me about 6% short.

If only I had bought it one and a half month later, I'd be +15%

I've only bought stocks in Telstra (largest telecom here in Aus) and a global share fund... about $3k all up.

That $3k is worth about $1.7k now

Though if I had of bought in any of the bank shares (NAB, CBA etc) they have gone up an average of $10 per share in the last couple of years).

Stocks/shares are too risky IMO, I'd prefer to have control over the growth of my money.

I own some Microsoft, M Systems Flash (before it was bought out by SanDisk, yay me) and RiteAid.

I lost about $1K thanks to Microsoft, about 2 months ago, but it's floating and Flash has taken off, so I'm up about $400, total.

Bwah ha ha I made a killing on spotting Myspace early. Intermix was trading on the upswing from 4-7, I bought in at a DCA of 5.50 & newscorp bought them out at 12. I was a happy f'ing panda bear that day.

Other than that, not much. Just a few low-volitility mutual funds.

Best,

I own 13 stocks right now (In the US). I've owned around 20 in total (started 2 years ago).

All of my savings except for a few hundred dollars are in my Scottrade account.

So far I'm up around 30-40% (in 2 years). I was up to 50% net towards the end of 2005, this year hasn't been as good. Mostly the markets are just moving sideways now, haven't lost or gained much lately.

My best trade was being Elan (ELN) at 3 dollars and change and selling it at $15. This is part of the reason why Im up so big, but right now I only own 3 of the 13 which I am down on. I think the worst trade I made I lost 25%.

I am thinking of selling some of the ones I own now and shorting others, by the way.

If you want to learn about investing visit www.fool.com and read books.

I reccomend anything by Peter Lynch, Benjamin Graham, or Buffett.
