Those are very good returns Spekulatius. The key is to not have any huge losses and to compound your returns year after year.

I have not measured the return on my taxable account(s) yet as it is a bit more difficult for me to determine my net gains attributed to the specific portfolio performance vs the monies I have added this year from other asset sales including real estate and gold.

I actually saw money from pending litigation on a few stocks I have held in the IRA. These were class action cases going back several years. Two securities are BK and worthless but the litigation money was a surprise.

On my IRA account which is closed to new monies gained just over 12% in 2005. My goal is to produce at least a 10% return every year. This way the portfolio doubles in 7.2 years. A large percentage of the return is attributable to investing in stocks that pay dividends.

My best performing stocks in 2005 in my IRA included GLW (+96%), HAL (54%), GP (47%) and TRP (+32%).

The worst stocks were the drug companies. Of course I used the proceeds of the cash flow from the dividends earned and a few equity sales to load up in this sector.

My top three sectors in the IRA now are Drugs (21%), Integrated Oil (16%), and Banks (13%).

I have about 25 different equities in the IRA.
