Every year I work the percentage gain or loss for the year on the final day of trading.

This year the ALL ORDS closed down 15%.

We are down a whopping 40% since our highs in October 2007 some 4 years ago.

Worst of all, the ALL ORDS hit 4111 back in Jan 2005, so for 7 years we have gone no where.

Just out of curiosity does anyone want to take a punt on where the ALL ORDS will finish on the last day of trading in 2012?

Happy New Year Everyone and good luck with your investments, cheers.

$500 for anyone who bought the "ALL ORDS" in Jan 2005.

It's an index unrepresented by future contracts or ETFs as far as I;m aware... you can't "buy" it.

I wonder how much dividends ALLORDS has paid out since Jan 2005.

Roughly about 5% gross P/A for the ASX 300 for capital invested. For the All Ords it would be close to that too.

Just be patient and wait for a Wave 3.

It could take years or it could be in April/May 2012.

Patience is required.

Wow, that sounds about right.

My share portfolio, since I started investing 7/8 years ago reflects it. Started off with some good blue chips, WOW, BHP, CSL - all crap now, did lots of trading/investing/punting since then and the ASX has beaten me up.

If we are talking about punting on 2012 - property has got to be the next hit - hey it's getting hit now. I can't see 2012 ASX being that flash - but hey, you never can tell.

Happy New Year

What if the sea level has fallen permanently?

What if the surf has gone out for good?

What price patience, then?



On a side note, at the end of 2012, a year when depressed Eurozone countries have to find refinancing for around 1 TRILLION EUROS worth of sovereign debt - yep, you read that correctly - I predict this thread will be changed to "ALL ORDS went no where for 8 YEARS!!"

Crappy New Year?
