So at 1/1/05 you had about $50k in your brokerage account(s), you didn't add or withdraw any other funds throughout the year, and you now have about $175k?

I'm hoping that investors that are leaving real estate now will get back in the market and push it up further, but i doubt they will [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Oh, that reminds me of another big question we've forgotten to ask you (btw...no offense, but it seems like you're being reticent about your phenomenal year)....on average, how much margin were you using?

12.6%. Doesn't sound like much but I am actually okay with it. I goofed off for about six months because 2004 was such a huge year for me. I'm back to working hard, and am pretty confident I've found enough ideas to ensure my returns rebound.

my guess is it's somewhere around 5-9%

Wow, I suck in an overconfident way. Apparently I was thinking of "last 12 months" return rather than YTD returns. Net of fees, the $16.5M portfolio I co-manage is up 4.12% YTD, net of fees/expenses. (Last 12 months was apparently what I was thinking of (good Dec. 04 for us): 6.94%.)
