Anyone read the Australian Financial Review this weekend.
"Shares That Made You $1 Million", if you had invested $10,000

If only we have the foresight & to hang on for the long ride.
No..... I'm not in that league yet.

1st Fortescue - $73.1 Million 17.8 years (Years from Low to high)
2nd News Corp - $26.69 Million 25.4 years
3rd Paladn - $13.5 Million - 4 years
and the list goes on...

Potential companies that was mention in the article:
Infigen Energy - IFN
Co2 Group - COZ
Clean Sea Tuna - CSS
Mesoblast - MSB
Patrys - PAB
Oilex - OES
Moby Oil & Gas - MOG
Methanol Australia - MEO

Might not make us a million.....as some of the SP is on the high side


Please do you own research.
I do have one on the list.
 
It might be equally interesting if they were to do an article on the shares that have LOST people $1M or more.
 
The list will be endless.

At least with "Shares That Made You $1 Million" there is hope.

The thing with trading when using the word "hope" it is a bit of a worry...:)

I just bought all 8 on a punt

I dread the paperwork on this lot.
 
Is that 1 mill inflation adjusted? Probably not. Could have probably invested $10,000 in mud bricks to make a mill over that time period.

I spend slightly more time researching my Melbourne Cup punt than you do with shares.

Well I figure I leave them there for a few years if one comes good it will probably make up for the rest and may pleasantly suprise.

The chances of one coming good out of 8 is fairly high.

Thats about as deep as I go into research.

No, I don't. You only have to read the Storm thread to see examples of people who watched many millions turn into nothing.

Didn't you sit on the fence for ages because you were too nervous to get back into the market? And now you're jumping in with no research?
Have you put serious money into these, or just 'punt' money?

I'm about 15% in shares now, cant wait forever and I think the worst is over and in any case as I say only about 15% of cash is in shares, will go for property when that tanks.
I've got most in the big 4 banks, BHP and a punt in Fairfax which continues to disapoint.
These latest ones are punt money only approx $40k in all, someone else has already done the research and they're better at it than I so I roll the dice and go with it.
Wont make me rich or send me broke but just maybe one will be a big winner.
Seem like good companies in bio technology and resources and one in tuna ?
 
FWIW burnsie ...... i like MSB , been following and holding on and off for years ......... Personally think its got a very bright future but as with any speculative stock , it could just as easily go bust in the blink of an eye.
 
I have done some research on 3 of these, OEX, MEO and MOG, Oilex has upcoming drilling so short term prospects are ok, MEO has farm in with WA-360-P block announcement coming up soon with other big companies within that area chasing additional gas resources, also they have the Tassie atoll gas plant that is unique and could prove very cost efficient, short term prospects very good, mid to long also good I would reckon, MOG has 15 percent of block WA-360-P so might get caught up in the farm in announcement also plus their other assets. Long term they are all a fair chance IMHO. CSS look undervalued at the moment but have done no research into them further than that. Not sure about the rest, they all seem to have possibilities and some have unique attributes that would gain much upon success, long term who knows.

Yep I had a quick read up on them (after I'd bought the stock:rolleyes:) and I like the look of them.

I Sold out of OEX a week ago for some nice profits, Not sure how much more upside they have really. As for the other 2 they seem pretty good, Im gonna do some more research.
