Yes bad year. I did finish 2011 in trading account with around 14k $ in profit. I sold all ORV that did hurt a lot this 2011 small profit. ORV what a piece of crap. Was so nice on paper but very bad management did sink that company and add the overall market-tax loss : perfect example of how to lose money faster than buying a car.... : (( A good 2012 to everyone !

Same here. I'm just thankful I didn't underperform the TSXV - g. The TSXV is down a whopping 40% from it's highs, and the TSX down 17% from it's highs per my rough calcs. TSX and CDNX TSX versus the Cdn Dollar and Oil (looks like much more correlated nowadays than it used to be) Cdn Dollar and WTIC

If someone had asked me a year ago which I thought would be the worst performer for 2011 among McDonald's (MCD), U.S. treasuries (TLT), and gold (GLD), I would have been sure it couldn't be GLD; and I would have been wrong (look at a one-year chart of those three compared). And I have been studying the hell out of the markets for a number of years now and thought my analysis was sound and based upon a good understanding of macroeconomic factors, etc. Just goes to show how tricky Mr. Market can be.
