Gday,

I know they have threads about worst losses.

So wanting to know some of the best returns ever made. Could be a stock you bought 20 years ago and held....

Your best return on investment.

Mine is AXT so far. I bought in at float, I have been into shares for 12 months.
 
ETR bought July 2003 currently up 722% but didn't put that much into it at the time (have topped up along the way over the years) and am waiting for ANZ to cough up more then $4.05 per share.

MCR bought April 2006 currently up 340%.

I'm wishing I had of bought into PDN when WiseOwl (then InvestmentWise) tipped them at .06 cents, mind you I would've sold shortly after they went through the .10cent barrier. :banghead:

Nice buy in WMT there Jimminy.
 
Has the potential to be my best buy, very close at the moment. Bought agy at 44 cents just before it ran up, currently around the $1.20 mark The meeting monday night will make or break me on this one. Succesful negotiation to mine the resource and the sky is the limit.
 
Bought Monax Mining (MOX) last year at about 20c, after about 6-8mths, sold it at $1.20.

I'm also waiting for the the outcome on AGY, fingers crossed for Tuesday!
 
AGS my first entry @ 45c, still holding $2.40, 533% gain, only hold about less than half my original purchase.

SMY is pretty good $5 vs $1.55 or 300%+ gain, still hold my full amount, those are it.
 
I was finally convinced to buy this one today as has good support levels around 55 cents. The way I see it more upside than downside with Jap market up for tomorrows trade. Plus hasn't run like some of the others like ACB.

Uraniumlover you hold ERN from around 60? You know where I think it could go. Good luck with ERN. With BMN I sold half to free carry the rest but the gains have still been great.
 
Bought AUM (aka CDU) for 4c (40c after restructure) continue to hold, +875%
Bought MTN for 79c (still holding) +600%
 
Entered EVE last August @ 8.7c and still holding onto that baby;)

Got AFR in the recent float and that's done well too.
 
PDN - bought 10,000 at 11 cents and sold at $5.60

$1100 outlay and $55,000 profit.

If only I hadnt sold out.....
 
MTN up 700% in a year. Plus I got USA because I am a MTN shareholder that's up about 200% including free options.

Worst is JPR down 42% in about 6 months. :banghead:

Fortunately I put alot more into MTN than JPR.
 
I bought EWC last June at 3.2c.... still holding at around 80c now.
Wish I had bought more than $2k worth though (groan!). Hoping to get through the 12 month mark i.e. July for tax reasons - will only sell half though.
 
Amazing efforts guys.

Thats my goal, to research something for a 500% return.

How did most of you come across these stocks at the time?

Was there much hype on them, or was it just a bit of luck?
 
Most ppl who got in before the u boom really took off would have made a killing and retired by now. But in reality not everybody ploughed in 100% of their super, most put small amounts in and averaging up now(like me).

Yeh, i feel ya, sometimes i think i wish i had real money back when the boom started in 2004. Then, yeh, i would be living it up bigtime. Coz even though %returns for me have been awesome, because my initial stake was so TINY, even now its pretty insignificant, but thats how it goes.

Also experience wouldve helped. I made ALOT of very stupid mistakes back then.

Oh well, hopefully we get another similar boom in the next 10 years, and thats when ill really clean up. :D ;)

There was only 4 years between end of dot.com and beginning of mining boom....
