In 2011 my two best investment stocks were JVA and SWSH. I bought many shares of both companies and was rewarded for finding these early. I have done similarly with MHR, CALM and MAXF earlier on some years ago for example. Since 2001 my IRA is up 17 times it's value. I usually keep the other investment money in a few smaller ($5000) long term positions and /or dividend stocks with capital appreciation possibilities and CD's. I wouldn't change my investment style for anything and enjoy investing as a hobby, so that I can help out students that are homeless or hungry and contribute to the college scholarship fund for students in recovery. I read all about Peter Lynch's investment style as a kid and took most of it to heart. All it takes is a few ten baggers and you can make a lot of mistakes and still do well. As I said I am now in the position to just hit singles and not swing for the fences as I near retirement.
